I don't see any such conflation, nor do I see any rejection of cryptocurrency's future potential. This article is primarily about what is happening with cryptocurrency right now:

> Whatever cryptocurrency might someday be For All Mankind, it is most urgently and avidly in this moment something that people tell weird lies about in hopes of getting richer.

You seem intent on spreading such get rich quick and utopian dreams on cryptocurrency. How much do you have invested in the ecosystem?

Edit: In my opinion, people who genuinely care about the revolutionary potential of Bitcoin need to avoid feeding the hype train that helps normalize the sketchy lieing behavior in the ecosystem and simply work on building that future instead.
This was long before there were any electronic devices to amplify or otherwise manipulate the signal. The telegraph signals were just short electrical pulses representing Morse code, with a positive voltage for a dot and a negative voltage for a dash. The lines could only be worked in one direction at a time for many years, but eventually circuits were used at each end to "duplex" the cable, allowing messages to be sent in both directions at the same tim.
Some background on this, there is a long standing back to the late 20th century - and to those of us outside the field darkly funny - controversy within this particular scientific community on when the first humans arrived, which can be broadly googled by searches for "Clovis man controversy".

Sure archeologists are very smart people, and like all other very smart people, can still be caught on the wrong side of history as new evidence piles up against existing theories.
Ahhh I've made this mistake before. You can't test every input/output while also losing the ability to accurately depict stateful user flows. Even Fintech projects I've worked on at the >£10Bn daily volume mark combining formal methods, mathematical proofs, property based tests, fuzzing, model based testing, etc.. still caught issues pre-production via good old end-to-end tests.

Good luck nubank :)

Make it 10 to 20 blind funds, each with one very broad theoretical goal: “if the country does well, the fund does well” and with
different managers, management styles, investment strategies.
The funds do not disclose their specific holdings publicly,
but do report them to regulators.

Elected officials transfer all their equity assets into one or more funds before taking office and get shares in the fund.

When they leave office, they can receive the current cash value of their shares, without any capital gains tax,
or can get their original contributions back, if the fund
still holds them.

If the country did well, the fund did well,
and so do those who were elected. Optionally, make this available to all government employees at the
federal, state, and local levels, and generally
to individual investors.
Yes, they funded GoF research at WIV. And it's founder Peter Daszak worked to undermine the lab leak theory as a member of the WHO COVID19 origins investigation team... can you say "conflict of interest"?
This is amazing feedback, thank you very much! I'm going to work on each of these; but quickly - we definitely shouldn't have something that works in `wrangler dev` but not in the platform, and we should warn/error on that, our docs shouldn't have examples that don't work :facepalm:, and we should be spec compliant where we can. Thank you so much!

You’re completely right! Fed up with Arduino C, I tried to bring the entirety of the web toolchain and related dev patterns to the embedded world. :’)

Do you have any tips on debugging long running memory leaks? (basically the board crashes after a few days running continuously, which were my specs)

I used C#'s async/await on a project in 2017, and I took to it. I appreciated being able to follow the "relevant" parts of a method, without having to jump around to different callbacks. That being said, I think I was the only one on the project that understood it _well_. Over the course of two years, I learned lots of the same gotchas.

Avoid "async void" was one of the catchy mnemonics I learned the hard way, because one day our production server crashed because it threw an exception in an async void.

I'm working on Java web services now, and it's written using synchronous Java servlet framework (Spring/Jetty). My hidden fear is that one day we'll discover that our synchronous APIs will have to be completely re-written in the async model.

A complicating factor is that teams usually start with E2E when it’s simple, and only move to other approaches when the systems have become way too complicated.

At that point I don’t know if there is any specific strategy that effectively catches a lot of bugs, short of sending to production and monitor the effect. At a company we just called those tests “sanity checks”, and the goal was just to make sure the most basic use cases would still work, and nothing more.
Technically you don't go to prison. You go to prison for lying about what you owe or cheating. But if you don't pay you generally settle with the IRS and get put on a payment plan or something similar. I know people who have been through this process.
I've faced this too, where you'll save, then hit refresh, and it show the previous version; despite the fact that we "know" that the code is changed. SO we should be able to queue requests when we have a new version uploading (and of course, make the whole thing faster). Thanks for your feedback!

Is there a rule as to which methods are best made async and which not?

Or, once you start using async would it be best to make ALL methods async?

Many methods could be either sync or async. But if you make a method that doesn't strictly need to be async async you give yourself the option of later making it actually return its result after a delay, say reading its answer from the web or asynchronously from disk.

Whereas later trying to convert sync-methods to async seems to sometimes require big changes to the structure of the whole program. If you depend on getting the answer right away there is no easy way to modify the code so it in fact returns the answer after a delay. Or is there?

A downside to async-methods I can see is that they are harder to debug of course.
That’s a good point. Yet, if you’re an overweight male, you can probably both lose weight and get adequate nutrition on 2000 cals/day. For females the balance may be harder.

> - The cost associated with purchasing tokens needed to initialize an account on the blockchain would serve as a spam prevention mechanism; an alternative to SIM cards which most centralized services rely on today as a cost barrier to limit the creation of spam accounts.

Doesn't seem like that to me. If I get banned I can just move my cash to another account and start again, and assuming multiple services does this I can amortize the cost over all of them.

The rest seems to me like something mTLS could solve better.
How did you start training your memory? Is there one helpful book or website? Or did you just take the basics ideas and start applying them and get better with real world practice?
> the relative majority with fptp is always with the CSU.

I feel like this is part of the reason. CDU/CSU currently seem to profit most from this system and they have been governing for 16 years. Before that, SPD got the most direct mandates and was governing.

Even if the governing parties wanted a change, it would probably be hard to convince their MPs to vote for a law that would endanger their own re-election.
Definitely useful information to relay, thanks!

I didn't have the time to get Bluetooth headphones working this release cycle, but it'd be great to do so if it doesn't require too many permissions.

Bluetooth headphones go through a different API than physical buttons/controllers/keyboards, and Google's changed the APIs a few times. At first glance it seemed like a minefield (either managing a media session, or managing Bluetooth devices, in both cases which we'd be competing for Bluetooth access with proper media players which have a legitimate want for the buttons).

Anyway, I digress. Thank you for the pointers, and I'll have another look when there's less maintenance work to carry out.
The utility in a VPN is in travelling, not at home. I’m not sure if I trust ProtonVPN more than I trust my ISP, but I sure as hell trust them more than I trust the little hotel I stayed at in Brooklyn.

Long term I’ll probably just solve this by setting up a VPN server at home, so I can tunnel through to my local services and protect myself from wifi endpoints I use on the go.

Are we back to the Six Week Cycle again where the FBI arrests someone before they can pull off a "terrorist attack?" Were the bombs in question legit bombs that could have blown up or is this another case of an undercover FBI agent convincing someone with disaffected sentiments to "take action" and even provided them with inert pipe bombs and a realistic looking triggering device? The FBI has been documented to pull this scam with regularity to justify their budgets; the No Agenda Show podcast has covered this over the years calling it the "Six Week Cycle" because you can almost set you watch by the regularity of it happening (and frequently with the post script of "Thank God this domestic terrorist didn't know how to make a bomb that worked!).
Everyone is already free to publish their work on the Internet. Not sure if the publishing model by itself is the core issue, or the science funding model at large. A symptom is the fetishisation of peer review as a gatekeeping mechanism, which I think is what you decry. Peer review is driven by the need of funding agencies to have some roughly objective criteria for personnel selection. Publish or perish. While it is not an ideal tool, I have a hard time coming up with a better alternative.

Fundamentally science is about creating models of the world that are independently verifiable through experiment. Peer review inhabits an uncomfortable middle ground. While it serves a positive function in checking for methodological issues, it is only a distant proxy for independent experiments and is often prone to authority and group think.
And Americans often expect a ton of hand-holding. OCaml is a mature language with lots of relatively mature projects, tends to have a ton of documentation, etc...

Hi squaresmile,

Thanks for the feedback!

It sounds like you may be thinking of `wrangler preview`, not `wrangler dev`. `wrangler preview` runs the worker on a service that operates outside Cloudflare infrastructure, so a lot of things aren't realistic, like support for host+port and request.cf. `wrangler dev` runs the worker inside the real Cloudflare stack on the real edge, which should solve those problems. Our plan is to sunset `wrangler preview` in favor of `wrangler dev`.

> It's not relevant now but I couldn't figure out how to connect cloudflared with wrangler tail on windows.

Good news, this has been fixed recently -- `wrangler tail` no longer requires `cloudflared`.

> - I haven't investigated this properly but Promise.then.catch doesn't seem to work? async/await works though.

Promises are implemented inside V8, so they should work exactly the same on Workers as in Chrome and Node. I'd love to see an example of what's not working if you have one.

> - I'm pretty sure URL.createObjectURL in this example [1] doesn't work on the worker.

This is indeed an API we don't support, and realistically we probably can't support. I'd be interested to understand your use case for this.

This seems like another step on a journey to maintain control over assets. So not the same thing as you have linked but nothing that should effect the market as China has been clear on its intentions.

I would be more curious about the larger game. A few front runner governments will establish there own ways to deal with crypto and then others will copy from a, b ,c. China's methodology is becoming more formal and therefore more copy able. I think we can already see the larger pattern and we already know who copies who traditionally... Would love to see a write up from this perspective.
I don't know when or by how much the effect on life expectancy that obesity has is overstated -- funnily enough I think the same is true of smoking -- but one thing I'm more sure of is that obesity is likely to greatly decrease the quality of, say, the latter half of your life. It's just not very fun to have diabetes, "minor" strokes and heart attacks, or the various less-scary but very uncomfortable issues that obesity greatly contributes to. A nice way a friend of mine put it once is that you want to compress all the morbidity you'll experience into the last few years of your life, and being active and lean goes a long way there.
In absence of real economic growth winning at zero and negative sum games is the only realistic chance at making it in the broadly defined West. The ponzi trend is only going to grow until the whole system collapses under itself. People not playing the game are going to lose the most, as unfair as it is, because rich executives are going to exploit their positions and dump their bags on public companies they control. In more corrupt cases, countries instead of companies. It's only going to grow.

Even so, arguably crypto ponzi games are harmless compared to more socially accepted ways of wealth extraction. Facebook, twitter and other mass social media destroyed society and utilize best ai/ml in existence to steal people's attention, at this point they should be viewed as human hostile ais. The lost potential of years wasted on pointless flamewars and mindless clicking is immeasurable. So many smart people wasting their best years on making ads even more effective instead of creating actual wealth.

In the good timeline there was no bailout in 2007 and the global financial system completely disintegrated, deleting most of fake wealth and unsustainable liabilities in the process, but without long term damage to real productivity.

This is the bad timeline in which wealth extraction dominates until there's nothing left, after which everything stops with no system energy reserves. That's how Soviet Union ended.

I'm 'not' for people not going to jail because they smoke weed, and 'for' people going to jail for tax evasion.

The kind of straw manning that reveals itself here due to the complete lack of civic thinking in some circles is really disturbing.

There is no necessity for mass energy usage for crypto, there are any number of ways to distribute new units of currency. Again the use of the term 'necessary' here is a hint at the false understanding of currency through the lens of a particular form of crypto.

Crytpo, at least today, is a dystopia. Go and live for a few weeks in a country with weak civic institutions and see for yourself. This joke is less and less funny as time goes on, the experiment, in it's current form, has run it's course, it's long since over.

for my, I have a sensitivity to synthetic materials like pleather. it traps heat and makes me sweat 10x more from the area that is up against the material. this doesn't happen to me with real leather or cotton. most "cloth" seats in cars are also polyester based, not as bad but similar issue. to me leather is the most hygienic and easy to maintain. plus it's comfortable.

over time my sensitivity has diminished with cloths, but it's still there when I go overboard. taking a long 14h car trip from WA to CA that I do at least once a year would be a disaster for me with Pleather

I could be missing something but this isn't exactly the smoking gun the title makes it seem. I'm sure there are proposals, plans and applications for all types of things. What I'm waiting for, perhaps naively, is strong evidence, revelated an independent investigation, that there was some foul business going on here. Until I see that, I'm more inclined to rely on the word of experts who have no connection to any of this. A novel aspect of a viral genome isn't enough for me to leap to the conclusion that it's human made.
Absolutely true. This is how viral evolution works.
