It's complicated and I hesitate to generalize, but I'd draw two themes:

* Economic: Singapore is an expensive place to live and both parents typically need to work to make ends meet. A foreign domestic worker is the cheapest way to get child or elder care, but it's still a significant expense, so there's a natural incentive to cut costs by providing only the absolute minimum (feed them ramen, make them sleep on the kitchen floor, etc).

* Power dynamics: The stereotypical domestic worker is young woman from a deeply poor rural background, sometimes underage with fake ID (illegal but particularly common with Burmese), who speaks little to no English, is unfamiliar with city living, and knows nobody in Singapore. They are often deeply in debt to the broker who found the job, supporting family back home who will literally starve if she can't provide, unaware of the little rights they do have, and thus very strongly incentivized to tolerate whatever is thrown their way. The employer thus finds themselves in a position of near-absolute power over them, and as the old saw says, power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. In the case above, where the maid was essentially tortured to death over a year, there was an entire household watching and the deviance was normalized quickly because there was nothing she could do to fight back.
But you know what, don't believe me. I'm just some random dude on the internet, what do I know. Just ask their public editor: https://archive.ph/A26ZF

You don't have to read long. Just read the first line.
A lot of hotels are shit, and often in way that aren't justified by cost. A most obvious example relevant to Steve's lifetime is wifi. 10-20 years ago, many hotels had unnecessarily restrictive wifi with tedious fees and tedious limitations. It's not a problem these days because hotels have finally given up being customer hostile—and because most people can rely on 4G anyway. But that kind of attitude pervades many aspects of the industry.
So it's not only extortionate, but also arbitrary? Which favors people who are able to talk themselves out of any situation? Great (not for me though)...
While I usually abhor reductionist conclusions, I find this comment refreshing and hopefully useful to others. Depression isn't simply "lack of serotonin" nor "a series of unfortunate events".

There's a theory of a strong association between clinical depression and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learned_helplessness and hopefully society will move forward to enable people to live better lives.
I don't think the content was impressive at all to be honest. The solution she proposes that former tech employees form a government body creates a very obvious conflict of interest and I dread that it doesn't get more criticism.

This praise is neither objective nor factual, there aren't any leaked documents yet. She proposes solutions in favor of government. This should raise a lot of red flags.
Here we go, another subthread about the god forsaken poor in America and the offensive $200 proposal (which is just a rough idea that could easily be amended with flexibilities and provisions for the poor).

OK, I will bite. What makes me think they can spare $200 for a library deposit?

The fact that it (1) it doesn't come up as an emergency (you can budget for it in advance) and (2) they know they can have all of it back whenever they want to take a break from borrowing from the library, and have returned all their loans. (Unless they are idiots who trash books.) The psychology of "I'm losing 200 dollars" isn't there.

Whereas a $500 emergency is just: oh no; goodbye, money!

People have a way of not having money when they have to cover some unexpected pure loss. Yet somehow they have iPhones, Playstations, designer sneakers and jeans, ...

And then again, maybe some people really, actually cannot do it. So, have a $20 deposit with more modest borrowing privileges. Or some other creative way.
If we want to discourage meat production, I think it would have to be something more direct. All of the crops you described are things that humans and non-human animals can eat. Cows can be fed wheat and soybeans. Farmers will feed them whatever is cheapest per calorie.

Obviously he discovered something a lot more noteworthy than that, but these one line summaries are doing a terrible job of hinting at what.
1. Yes and no. Look at how the world's autocrats are using facebook: As a propaganda machine with their troll army, they kick it out of their country or shut it down when convenient and facebook is OK with it (e.g. on Turkey). FB has no spine. So some regulation would actually hold the governments accountable for their abuses.

2. Thats because facebook transgresses common decency. People dont argue politics with base insticts in a parliament.

3. The solution is not to dump their externalities to the public forever. The whole idea of "social media" as mob media is ill-thought.
Fair enough regards neuter, though you did suggest we "stop caring". I disagree with that specific advice.

Note that "caring" != sympathise, hear out, or otherwise contenance repeated misinformation and disinformation. It does mean being aware of what responses might be and/or are.
This.

A tiny group of powerful gatekeepers will have a tendency to slide towards clique. That is just human nature, and that is why we used to have anti-trust legislation with teeth.

> Mental clarity is due to body entering Ketogenic state.

Or due to being jacked up on cortisol which stays high when you don't eat.

That's the reason why prolonged fasting (longer than a day) doesn't work for me - it ruins my sleep and I feel a lot more jittery and stressed after the first day.

Daily fasting (20 hours not eating or 1 meal a day) is a lot easier but you don'get a lot of ketosis when the fasts are that short unless you're already on a low carb diet.

Very interesting article, I learned a lot from it.

No mention of Command Strips; I was curious to see if the author had any opinion on them. I've used them with some success in the past when I didn't want to put a hole in a wall.

Anyone have any knowledge of their pros and cons? One "con" I know of is just a matter of technique: when you remove one, don't pull it away from the wall! Pull it straight down against the wall, slowly.

Silicon Production in Yunnan to Be Cut by 90% under Policy Control in Q4 2021
I don't think they were. But, without knowing more specifically what happened, it is hard to speculate.

Some of the speculation I have seen was that this was an attempt to cut connections to one internet exchange (IXP) point, possibly resulting in cutting connection to all IXPs. But ,as I said, this is speculation. It'd take a more thorough understanding of how the automation looked prior to the incident, the change hat was trying to be made, and eth like, to say something sensible.

I would like to see a comparison between this operator and the one from Zalando.
Say you have 100 database clusters and you want to schedule them on dedicated servers.

A kubernetes node can advertise those local block devices as persistent volumes. Your StatefulSet can request that class of local storage and the kubernetes scheduler will then find a volume for the pods on a node that the pod can fit on.

You then get all the features of kubernetes operators plus the performance of dedicated nodes and local storage. When a local storage node disappears, your pod gets a new volume on a new node and can replicate from its peers, or start from a backup.

Kubernetes then offers metrics, certificate management, secret storage and management, load balancing, healthchecks, debugging tools, rich firewalling, RBAC, and a huge ecosystem of plugins. It gives you a unified API for all your workloads. Requesting a database then is as simple as a single API call to kubernetes with a spec for your database (ex: creating a MysqlCluster object).

The company I work for runs MySQL, ZooKeeper, memcached, hbase, hadoop, kafka, elasticsearch, and more in kubernetes with great success. Scale here in one prod region is ~10,000 pods on a clusters of ~600 nodes. There are about 900 separate MySQL clusters consisting of 3 replicas each, 150 separate zk clusters of 5 replicas each, etc.

> they might say that they cared. In their heart of hearts, perhaps they even did. But their behavior demonstrated that they cared about other things much more.

Isn't it just about that in the end? I think being good or not is about whether you give yourself the room to do the right thing even when other pressures exist – because they always exist.

Being good can be hard, because sometimes it means you have to abandon your usual priorities and stand up to the consequences which will emerge from that decision.
Right but you went straight to pervasive surveillance which is not the only option here. For example Tesla could start enforcing their existing zero tolerance policy. They didn’t get here because there was no way to know about the issue! It comes across more like a threat than a warning.
Current Covid vaccines are non-sterilizing, i.e they do not prevent infection or transmission. This is documented on the US CDC site: vaccines reduce the risk of serious illness or death, they do not provide immunity. If the goal of Covid passes is to stop transmission, then everyone, vaccinated or unvaccinated, should have to provide either proof of immunity from prior Covid infection, or a recent negative test. Anything else is theater that is misleading and actively harmful to civilian populations.

In a recent U.S. study of 5 million vaccinated 65+ people: 160,000 contracted Covid and 30,000 were admitted to hospital. The study estimated VE (Vaccine Effectiveness) against Delta Covid-19 infection to be 40%. This value is lower than studies with smaller population samples, and far below the claims of vaccine manufacturers, https://humetrix.com/powerpoint-vaccine.html.

The moment you need to start moving people around, you are into "hours" territory of recovery.

You don't want the data centre staff to be able to change configurations (security), so once something requires hands-on changing, you are definitely into the "move people around" stage of recovery and it WILL be slow.

The problem is that few people are as captivating to listen to as Steve was. I think Steve could sell anything so long as he could genuinely believe in it.

I agree that recent keynotes have been awful, but this recent decline is largely due to the format being changed from a live audience presentation into a high production value movie. It's so incongruent because it's the wrong genre. The sooner Apple can return to a truly live keynote, the better.

She proposes a ministry for regulating tech which means there will be a permanent line between Washington and large social media companies. That is the factual result of what is proposed and this has been a problem in the past. Political manipulation of content institutionalized. This is a horrible approach by any objective meassure and it would obviously also institutionalize Facebook.

Greenwalds argument isn't a slippery slope fallacy but that is off topic and of no relevance.
The site seems very secretive about how it works. After reading a while, here is my educated guess:

To use it, the user first needs to get ahold of Bitcoin SV somehow.

Then the user needs to install their software.

Since the software allows "payments" to people who do not have a public Bitcoin SV address, I guess the payment goes to PeerSend and not to the receiver.

PeerSend then tries to contact the receiver and convince them to make a Bitcoin SV address.

If that happens, PeerSend sends the funds to the receiver.

I think that term limits are becoming more important with longevity technology coming to the fore. While I do not believe that longevity technology is going stay in hands of the rich and powerful forever, they will surely be the first group that will use it extensively.

Even adding 15-20 years of working life would mean that 100 y.o. politicians or judges would become a normal occurrence.
For Democrats: would you like to Amy Coney Barrett to serve until 2072? For Republicans: would you like Sonia Sotomayor to serve until 2054?

I think you are overly generous to him. He has extremely powerful tools at his hand, and he properly owns them and has absolute power over them.

But due to whatever reasons (ego, greed of seeing his net worth rising and fear of losing some of it etc.) he won't take morally right step that would harm FB's financials in any way.

On top of that, let's be clear - the mission of FB never was some altruistic connecting the world, in contrary - it was all that juicy private data on each of us while we are connecting and interacting, quietly building a shadow profile for every single human being. There is no moral high ground there no matter how much mental gymnastics you try. If FB would somehow leak those data publicly, the company would go bust very quickly.

In more than 1 way, I struggle to understand these whistleblowers - they get hired for tons of money into company with clearly amoral (or at very best dubious) mission and then they are surprised when it actually is... Similar case would be going to investment or private banking and then being surprised how business is set up and how decision makers in it behave
Today you need a Cassandra cluster fronted by a Kubernetes cluster to get similar performance. The good news is that you don't need a couple boxes under your desk, you can pay AWS tens of thousands a month for it.

Let's not pretend that kernel developers still don't get paid for their kernel work. The majority of them are employed by corporations that use Linux or are sponsored by other means.

Interesting that they have worked for you on painted brick! That seems like a much rougher surface than the drywall I've used them on.
Gawking at the enormity of the challenge and ultimately never doing anything isn't acceptable though.

I'm not saying that's all you're suggesting, and realism is certainly a requirement for working out what we actually need to achieve here, but this enthusiasm is essential. We need it to drive policy in the face of economic penalty and limiting nutritional choice. We need the enthusiasm if we want to be able to tell our kids (and theirs) that we actually tried.

It's a balance. "I love the enthusiasm but" might be accurate, but as-is, serves to smother that spark of hope that we need from everybody right now. Don't give up completely on our species.
Zuck started Facebook as Facemash, a site to judge attractiveness of students by other students. It was a creepy site then and has remained to this day. Sorry, but companies to take after their founders, because the founders set an example of what is OK, how to behave, what their values are, etc. While he may not be responsible for all of the actions of his employees, the buck stops with him.
Twitter is already integrating bitcoin.

This app tries to implement one of the many forks “bitcoin SV”, but I think to no avail.

The hard irony is that Facebook is just another mechanism to fragment people. It is no different than these other "borders, languages, and increasingly by different products".

It seems that the author is operating under the assumption that if everyone is inside of their product, the world won't be fragmented anymore. People will be connected.

Yes. They will be connected. To the product.

We can do better than this dreary future. It is possible to connect people as peers, without the exploiting hands of intermediaries like the executive who wrote this statement.

It's ridiculous to think a platform that most of humanity uses can be controlled to the liking of the left, the right, the upside down and etc ... cause all those groups make up humanity and we all do not nor will ever think exactly the same and we all have different motives and biases.

Facebook is doing the thing that makes the most sense ... letting humanity be itself and profiting from it!

Also, disinformation / misinformation has been around since the dawn of time .. have you ever played the telephone game when in school... you tell one person your story .. they tell another and another tells another and etc. Sooner or later that story becomes closer to fiction then fact... throw in people's own personal motives and biases and it becomes just about fiction!

To add to the other comments. That is not how everyone is wired. Some good friends of mine give everything at work and often have trouble to stop thinking about work afterwards. These people worked in shitty private sector jobs, governmental positions and other career paths that will never reward their work with richness.

I personally don't get it. It actually frustrates me a little, they are talented and could achieve real wealth if they'd cared for that. But I accept that people who just work 100% no matter what exist.

I have been doing intermittent fasting with 8 hour "feeding window" for probably 10 years now. There are all sorts of different more or less believable facts about intermittent fasting. I won't get into any of them. I can just say that for me with my goals, it works. I can keep a lower bodyfat percentage while keeping muscle mass, year round than I could with any other "diet".

My main issue with any other "diet" or philosophy has always been my huge appetite. When I ate 6 times a day I was always hungry because the portion size was too low. I have a huge appetite and loves to eat big portions. When I only have 2-3 meals a day, then they can be substantially larger.

If you have trouble eating enough good food already, then IF is not for you.

If you want the alleged health benefits, whether they occur or not, then try a day or two of fasting. But the daily fasting should only be used if it somehow fits your life, schedule and goals.

The right "diet" is the one you can consistently adhere to.

I am really interested in the concept, but no interest whatsoever in BSV - none of the bitcoin family, but especially no interest in BSV. Is this choice a matter of circumstance (lower fees compared to BTC) or is BSV instrumental to you?

If the former, may I recommend you take a look at Raiden[0], and especially the light client[1]? It would be perfect for your use case (peer-to-peer payments) and the light client has a SDK [2] which you could leverage into the extension.
