Bitcoin can succeed as an alternative to endlessly debased fiat, even if it fails as a way to avoid financial tracking.

Banks full of crypto provide secure storage of a non-debased asset. Not the original idea of bitcoin perhaps, but still better than the current system.

There’s been long distance mesh networks since the 80s with packet radio. Unencrypted. Somehow they made it work then and it still works today.
I see this as a shot at Apple, just like Apple made a shot at Google over tracking. Apple is much more dependent than Microsoft on hardware sales, particularly tightly-integrated hardware, so they'd be burdened disproportionately by right-to-repair laws.

Of course even if it comes from a cynical place it can still have a good impact.

> The backlash of banning things is warranted for many reasons.

There's plenty of things uncontroversially, unproblematically banned. There arr particular classes of things that have historically been notably problematic to ban.

> But why care when we've already moved on to forced injections through career intimidation.

Jobs with vaccination requirements are also not new, though not quite as old as banning things.

I’m not sure why the existence of such requirements makes the real problems with banning certain classes of things any less important. This seems to be a complete non-sequitur.
You’re implying that the only possible goal is to “get ahead”, which is not true. There are clearly other goals one can have in writing and in life.

Very little impact on AWS services from what I saw - anyone see differently. I did see some light news on Google / Azure services (and other SAAS products).
I'm 50 and hence rather older than several films on the subject. Titanic has always been held up as the ship wreck within my lifetime for several reasons. I think the key one is the notion that she was considered unsinkable and yet sank on her maiden voyage. In Belfast, where she was built, they like to say she was fine when she left there. Schadenfreude.

When she left Soton for NY, there was a long, slow burning fire in one of her coal bunkers. Apparently this was fairly common in steam ships. This ship was absolutely massive for the time and let's face it a set of steam engines/turbines of that size, powered by coal are essentially explosions waiting to happen in many places. That's basically how they work too. Then you stick it on an extremely unforgiving ocean and plough a track over several 1000 miles at a pretty high speed. Add crew and passengers and a huge number of distractions and other operational things like plumbing and you have a recipe for disaster simmering away.

How the crew avoided going mad on these monstrous Heath Robinson (Rube Goldberg for the left pond) contraptions is absolutely beyond me. I'm not too surprised that she hit an iceberg if the boss decided to head into an ice field, just to shave a few hours on the crossing time. This is a vessel that steers like an iceberg and is basically staffed by crew who are already half maddened by the complexity of stopping her from exploding or worrying about the pre dinner champagne being too warm.

She also had a few other firsts and I think that she sent the first SOS over wireless, all this stuff adds to the story. Add in a few conspiracies (was she really the Olympic - that's a no for me) and that is really why she gets top billing. The films are a result not a cause.

Autotranslated article, and really thin on details.

A confusing passage:

> According to the [Chief Epidemiologist], the Moderna vaccine has for the past two months been used almost exclusively here for stimulation vaccinations after the Janssen vaccine and after two-dose vaccinations for the elderly and immunocompromised. Very few individuals are said to have received the second dose of the basic vaccine that started with Moderna.

Any Icelandic readers here? Is my reading correct that they were using Moderna as a booster after a vaccination with either Janssen or a two shot series of Phizer?
Vaccine is the only thing that can (and does) make this pandemic manageable. I write this comment from Bucharest, where vaccine hesitancy (among other factors) have made it so that only about 30% of the adult population is vaccinated. We have ambulance queues in front of most of the Covid hospitals, patients are "deposited" (for lack of a better word) on hospital hallways, the luckier ones on make-shift beds, the more recent ones on chairs, hanging on to an oxygen tube between their legs. Almost all the other European countries have higher vaccination rates than us, they do not have our current problems.
> There is nothing special about Facebook products that make them harmful.

Sure, there is. Addiction. People are addicted to this stuff. They're addicted to likes, reactions, seeing their follower numbers increase. They're addicted to the algorithmic content feeds. Facebook is actively working towards keeping it that way. They probably want to make it even more addictive. They want people using their software at all times in order to collect data and serve ads.

Why else would they C&D an unfollow extension developer? They want people to keep following so they get addicted to the infinite content plus ads feed.

Also, nobody is excusing any of the other sites you mentioned. There's plenty of things wrong with them as well and we'll condemn them for it. We're just focusing on Facebook right now because it's the subject of this particular thread.
> According to the epidemiologist, the Moderna vaccine has for the past two months been used almost exclusively here for stimulation vaccinations after the Janssen vaccine and after two-dose vaccinations for the elderly and immunocompromised.

Assuming the translation is correct, this could be a problem in itself. I'm unaware of a single study on the safety or efficacy of mixing vaccine types like this.

Yeah, it wasn't forced on anyone! Nobody grabbed you and held you down and injected you... You just couldn't travel, go out in public, work at your job, or send your kids to school without it.

This word "trauma" is really fucking trendy right now. Whenever a thing like this starts, I want to know -- how did it get started? Who was the first person to push this?

Seems to me that it sort of started with legit PTSD from Iraq/Afghanistan war veterans after 9/11. And then it got taken up for a little in some feminist circles -- first like, "women who've been raped have PTSD", and then "a bad date leaves you with PTSD", and then, "to be born outside the privileged categories gives you PTSD" (so you can be forgiven for whatever bizarre behavior). But then it died down. Until recently, when there was a big resurgence on a bunch of news outlets -- "trauma, trauma, trauma".

I wish I could trace this meme backwards to the source.

Clearly people think they can get an advantage out of this idea.
The title in the article includes the word “that”, which is clearer.

> It is impossible to remove politics from your work.

It absolutely is and this statement is either not informed enough or is being argued in bad faith. Unless your job is involved in direct politics or government you can keep the politics out and focus on the work.

I do not need my peers or coworkers bringing in politics to the workspace. Politics is a disease that seems to be seeping in everywhere because a vocal minority thinks every moment needs political involvement.

It does not.

Very few recent programs i've seen were socially useful. Some might find comedy in this but the app my current gig uses:

- is un ergonomic and redundant (typing the same thing over and over, no keyboard shortcut jquery era procedural code)

- the overall design is useless, it produces libreoffice templates that takes ages to be badly filled

- secretaries go faster using fucking paper and filling everything by hand

- the application has all the data at hand but nobody has access to stats or complex queries, people have to also write down stats with stick marks on paper so the hierarchy knows what's going on

There's a book, So You've Been Publicly Shamed, that investigates a few cases of internet lynch mobs, and the history of shaming as punishment.

The book's conclusion (as I recall) is that shaming is far more cruel than we commonly think, and shaming used to be more common until people realized its cruelty.
Further, even in cases of "breakthrough" infection, mortality rate is significantly reduced with the vaccine vs unvaccinated. I think people just assume that a "breakthrough" means "didn't work", but that isn't necessarily the case!
Ha, showed this to my co-worker and that was our immediate thought as well.
>How would taxing a rich person work if they’re filled to the brim with debt?

You do realize that the debt eventually comes due, right? It's not like debt is a money printer. If you're against people being able to defer capital gains, there are other ways around it in addition to taxing corporations.

Your reluctance to use a crate which solves the issue you are facing is somewhat antithetical to Rust's crate-centric philosophy. After all, anyhow::Result does "get your problem solved and ticket closed" just the way you want.

That being said, in reality it's probably a pretty common sentiment among adopters, especially since the macro crates can slow down compilation. Thankfully, the ergonomics of error handling are indeed under consideration and work is underway to make it all better.
My preference would be pushing my releases to an apt or yum repo. I think both of those do support FTP, but if it takes extra effort I wouldn’t bother.
"Either mRNA vaccines are best thing since slice bread, or they are completely useless" How about neither?

The contention of this general thread is whether imposing vaccine mandates at the cost of destroying livelihoods is just. Sorry, the mRNA vaccine performance is too weak to justify such measures. For all we know (epidemiological data from UK, Singapore) there is not much difference in infection rates between vaccinated and unvaccinated people / populations.

The following two statements are consistent:

* Covid mRNA vaccines are effective in preventing severe disease and death, especially in adults.

* Covid mRNA vaccines are NOT that effective in preventing infection, and pretending they are to justify unheard of drastic vaccine mandates is BadJuju.

You're right, but people know that someone interested in the work is likely to do a better job. Also, my point is about selling your ability to solve the company's problems rather than focusing on "what do I get".

Besides, why not pick a career that interests you? It makes for a better life.

> The treaty will need to be ratified via a two-thirds majority in the US Senate, which is unlikely given that it allows foreign countries to tax US companies, the Eurasia Group analysts said. An alternative could be "another major tax bill," but the United States is unlikely to consider that until 2025, they added.

How is this possibly true? The vote that the US takes should not affect what a company (wherever it is from) is being charged by e.g. France while doing business in France, that'd be up to local laws, right? Passing it in the US should only allow the US to tax international companies there, but they'd not get a say in other country's taxes?

Unless I'm misunderstanding it and it's the international treaty itself that needs to be approved locally (does that even make sense, having been approved already?), and not local laws based on the treaty.
It's highly unusual for question marks to be separated from the last word with a space (this? Versus this ?) and the spaces instead of commas in number formatting makes me think you're likely from Northern or middle Europe.

Each of those rag chewers is a scientist doing experiments. He or she must build a station suitable to be heard. Which antenna works best in their own case? What about feedline? This is not a simple task, especially for the ragchewer class where you want to be clearly heard.

You have a very narrow view of the hobby.
You are misunderstanding the definition. A 10x developer does not write code ten times faster than average. They have ten times higher impact on the results of an organization than average. And that's not far-fetched at all. This does not magically happen. There are individuals behind it, often a surprisingly small number doing the critical work that visibly brings the world forward.

It's not about writing a regular boring CRUD app that no one cares about as fast as 10 regular developers. It's about choosing the right problems to solve on their own initiative, building the foundation of a technology organization that can sustainably & quickly grow in scope and users, being the first to solve a problem no one else has understood such that the organization crushes their competition and so on.

Leading the development of web software that scales to 100 million users in 2003. Planning novel computer vision algorithms to a vehicle fleet of millions of vehicles, running on custom hardware they've also made contributions towards. Realizing that consumer VR headsets are now _just barely possible_ if you do everything right, and bringing it to market. Etc.

This is the difference between a small organization being capable of solving a difficult business problem and achieving profitability, and not.

What country are you in that disallowed being in public without a vaccine? That didn't happen anywhere in the US that I'm aware of.

As for the rest, again, mandating vaccination is something the US has been doing over and over since the year 1777. This is nothing new.

The parent claimed that this vaccine mandate was specifically paired with the vaccine still being in an experimental state, which to my knowledge is not the case.

> But you'll still be able to do Bitcoin transactions without exchanges, even if they get banned.

Exactly. But a ban seems highly unlikely. Instead, exchanges are more likely to be regulated and subverted to the point of being useless. You're right, Bitcoin would continue on its merry way because exchanges are peripheral to using Bitcoin past a point.

If that transition never happens, Bitcoin will have failed.
Yes indeed. That’s why I always question people who only focus on financial success. I have met way too many people who were financially independent and seriously unhappy/depressed.
> increases the tax on otherwise cheap foreign import like from China

The domestic currency is supposed to appreciate in value in proportion to the tax, so for example 1 US dollar buying 20% more Yuan, which cancels out a 20% tax (although I have to admit this is not as intuitive as the other parts, so I'm trusting the economists to do the math there). I'm not sure if the Yuan specifically is a good example, since the Chinese government controls the exchange rate politics might be more important than economics there.

> and domestic producers for domestic market

If you have a pure domestic business, wouldn't you just deduct your domestic expenses and pay tax on what's left over? That's basically what happens now, so I don't see how it would make a difference.

> A multinational will always be able to shift franchise fees, IP property leases, etc. so that would become "domestic expenses" where it will reduce the taxes most.

You could set up a domestic subsidiary, but now that subsidiary will have to pay the tax. If it's not a domestic subsidiary, then you have to pay the tax (since you can't deduct it). I get that in the current system it's very easy to do these things, but can you explain in a little more detail how this would work with the border tax?

I don't bath in salt water so never tested that.

According to WP: "The density of surface seawater ranges from about 1020 to 1029 kg/m3"

According to WP: ABS is 1.060–1.080 g/cm3

Lego sinks in seawater.

If you saturate a beaker of water with salt then lets go here for some results because I can't be arsed to go back to school: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saline_water

Roughly 1.193 g/cm3 which is more dense than ABS so Lego will float in salt (NaCl) saturated water.
