> as many as half of Chicago's police officers have refused to submit their vaccine status

People love to pretend that this is the "unvaccinated" - the new infidels. In reality, this is people who don't believe that sharing medical information is a prerequisite for participating in society. Many people, myself included, have got the vaccine based on the information that's available, but don't agree with a society that thinks is ok to make you prove it in order to have a job or go out (and frankly its absurd that people think it's ok for the state to exert power in this way).

My point is, the media want to frame this as some kind of anti-vaccine movement. Ignoring all the subtlety of that, this has nothing to do with vaccine acceptance, it has to do with invasive "papers please" state overreach. Dont pretend it had anything to do with vaccines
I was ghosted by a US based famous alt-search recruiter after I asked question about work-life balance and timezone issues. Evidently they were looking for willing-to-be-always-available resources in countries like mine (which is honestly often the case).
There may be similarities with the Tulip bubble but the underlying "asset" seems to not be comparable. Bitcoins in theory are almost infinitely more durable than turnips, and even casino chips as noted below. Like it or not, bitcoins probably have vastly more "mindshare" as a percentage of the global population than turnips or casino chips ever have or will.
Sounds like an excuse for the government to further invade our privacy.

actually you used to be able to use poker chips like cash as this article describes and explains why it is no longer allowed.

If you try to bring in chips received from other people the casino can choose to not pay you out as the article describes.

<<The harsh lesson he learned is that this isn't old Vegas, where casino chips were the coin of the realm, used to settle debts between friends, buy groceries and pay for haircuts.

That culture started to change 20 years ago when Nevada defined tokens as the property of individual casinos and prohibited their use "for any monetary purpose" outside the casino. They were simply intended as stand-ins for cash, loaned to players for the sole purpose of gambling.

The regulation was adopted to bring state law in line with federal rules prohibiting the creation of new currencies and with existing casino accounting procedures. The rule also has favorable tax implications for casinos, which aren't taxed on unreturned chips.>>

I thought for sure the fed gov would kill bitcoin by banning its use as a "currency" which is why I didnt get in at 25 cents.
You don't have to trust their commitment to non-violence, it's beside the point. As long as they are being non-violent and as long as we all have free speech then whatever problems National Socialism might bring if implemented cannot come to pass.

>at least now even American companies realised this and moved production to far superior Chinese manufacturers.

This sounds like it needs a /s.

For one thing, the transfer of American manufacturing to China happened a long time ago for many common items. The quality of the items that we received here in the US from these Chinese producers has never reached the previous level for some products.

I have bought and used products from all over the world too. Steel and iron tools from China and India frequently are not tempered correctly so they fail, sometimes on the first use. I learned a long time ago that the best tools for serious, everyday usage and longevity - those things you buy once and use forever - are old American-made tools. Once the brands sold out and moved production to China, quality dropped significantly and has not recovered.

What you may be seeing is the case where China ships its highest quality tools, parts, etc to your country, whatever that is, because after doing market research to understand how to accomplish market penetration, they found that people in your country would not compromise on quality/price/whatever and so they know that their cheap-ass junk and production seconds need to go to a less-sensitive market like the US, where items with the same functionality can be found at widely variable prices and no matter the price - there will be a buyer. That condition may not exist in your country.

The operative phrase in any company's financials is "for the (your country name here) market" which indicates that someone at that company had the responsibility of researching buyer habits and expectations in that country so that any product launches would be more likely to succeed.

There needs to be more buffer real estate for containers. One of the thread creator’s reccs was to do this using cargo trains.

But you are right as well. We need to send more containers back to East Asian ports where they are most commonly filled. The problem is that ship owners make more profit by sending back container ships immediately without waiting for them to be restocked with empty containers.

There needs to be a legal or contractual requirement for shippers to lose some economic opportunity cost to help rebalance the supply and demand of containers.

Even if their boss takes them seriously, somewhere between them and whoever can make useful decisions will decide that some dock workers opinion can't be worth more than all the reports and data they themselves are working with... or something like that. So making a stink about it is a lot of effort and emotional labor for almost no upside and non-negligible chance of punishment. Why bother?

> What about a temporary, emergency suspension of the Jones Act for select flagged vessels?

The Jones Act applies to shipping between US ports, which isn’t the issue, and suspending the Jones Act would allow more ships on internal runs, but the problem is that we have too little port capacity for import runs, so it solves something that is, in a couple different dimensions, completely the wrong problem.
I guess you've never been paid some low multiple of minimum wage.

You have no incentive to make anything efficient.
It makes a bit of sense because a tenderloin is much less meat than say a brisket. It's also much more tender when cooked a short time. So traditionally it's meat for a more affluent audience while a brisket is sold to the poor. Or so the story goes.
If you harvest all of them at once, you have 4x the amount, since each generation gives space to a new one instead of sitting around for an extra 3 years.
It seems you’re against people having a freedom to express themselves and exchange ideas. Historically denying this freedom accompanies authoritarian societies where propaganda and echo chambers make it seem like these actions are virtuous when they are actually not. Even the word “reactionary” is pejorative and was used widely in Soviet Russia and in China during the cultural revolution. Isn’t it better to let ideas be heard and debated even if controversial or disagreeable?
Even if he knew with certainty that BTC would go to zero in, say, 10 years, that doesn't imply that shorting it would be wise - he could easily have his position blown up due to "greater fools" buying in at even higher prices before it tanks. "The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent" and "being early is the same as being wrong" are both well-known maxims in finance for a reason.
Actually, yeah.

That would mean on average an infected person would infect less than one person and thus after a short while we converge on a zero infected population; as an infected person you either get well and unlikely to get infected again or die.

Vaccines work probabilistically and at scale. You need everyone to get the vaccine. If you have pockets of "inoculation" and give enough space to the virus to evolve through retransmission or too long to live, well tough luck.

This is the tool we have. And historically pandemics destroyed us. Not sure what we hope for here.
They kind of did. It's defined as property, so every time you spend it, you trigger a taxable event and need to calculate capital gains or losses, which of course can get absurdly complicated if you use it for everyday purchases.

That's why most people are using it as a kind of savings account, where they rarely liquidate larger amounts into the local fiat when they need it.

Of course, now that's not necessary in El Salvador since it's now a legal tender alongside USD. That's the first country where it's use as a currency can really be tested en masse. Still too early to tell how that's going to work out.

> which to repeat, is something that happens all the time

Are you sure this isn't just a problem in your organization? As I qualified, the issue you're describing was a real pain maybe two or three years ago, but not anymore IME. For context, my day job currently involves project migrations into a monorepo (we're talking several hundred packages here) and non-reproducibility due to missing lockfiles is just not an issue these days for me.

As the other commenter mentioned, node-gyp is the main culprit of non-reproducibility nowadays, and committing deps doesn’t really solve that precisely because you often cannot commit arch-specific binaries, lest your CI will blow up trying to run mac binaries
> The last year and a half of pandemic aid has been a large scale experiment in universal basic income.

No, it hasn’t. All the aid was conditional. Most of it was means tested, and much (both means tested and otherwise) had other tests. One of the largest portions was conditioned on not working.
Intel can do whatever it wants... and it chose this.

Ultimately it sells chips and services for running software. Nvidia originally made chips for video games, now it is part of self-driving cars, data centers, and even genomics. They are one of the biggest AI powerhouses now and not by accident. Google and other hyperscalar sw+hw seems to be competing more w Nvidia than Intel at this point.

AMD way underinvested relative to Nvidia and we saw how that played out - I'm surprised Intel is doing the same. This stuff isn't secret.

When it comes to platforms, meaning something with a network effect and limited equivalent substitutes, the difference between a government and a private service is academic at best. The reality is both can have lots of power and influence and the impact of their limits on civil liberties such as the freedom of speech are similar. Your interpretation of that freedom seems to stop at what the first amendment provides. But freedom of speech is a much more fundamental concept.

Yes; BTC is non-fungible with the majority of your potential trading partners. However, depending on your locality, the same can be said about USD, Renminbi, Euro, et al. You are biased in that you are discounting the shifting Overton Window of what your trading partners will accept in the future.

Hey all, author here!

I’ve been fiddling around with learning x86 assembly recently, and was surprised at the lack of readily available, easy to use documentation. I did find [zneak/x86doc](https://github.com/zneak/x86doc), which does an excellent job at parsing Intel’s official reference, but I struggled to find some common instructions since they were nested under op-specific pages. Godbolt’s [compiler-explorer](https://github.con/compiler-explorer/compiler-explorer) also provided a nice docs-on-hover tool, which borrows from x86doc as well. I put these together to create a site that allows searching through all instructions from a simple UI.

All "money" is propped up by belief (in its value for exchange).

The 'disadvantage' of BTC (and gold) is that it is inflexible and it takes resources to create. Some people—'hard money' folks—think of this as a positive trait.

Also, if you're wrong, shorts have the effect of not only losing you money, but giving energy to rise when you get liquidated or voluntarily close your position. You must close you shorts at some point, otherwise you go bankrupt, which means buying and driving the price higher.

So long as it's not 100% of your portfolio, you won't go broke holding it into the ground.
A malicious audit assertion is grounds to consider the package malicious. Thus you just mark the parent package as malicious.

Edit: I think your misunderstanding is you're considering "malicious config" and "malicious code" significantly different issues, and arguing malicious config won't be noticed as malicious because it's only malicious in the context of what it enables. I believe this is incorrect. Innocuous seeming usage of a legitimate feature that actually has malicious effect is not a new issue.

Looking at the issue in more detail you were told essentially exactly this.

> A far, far easier version that already exists is: put malicious code directly into an otherwise innocuous package (or as a dependency). No vulnerability warning would exist, and thus there'd be no need for assertions. In other words, your "exploit" is just a more complex way of doing something that has always been possible.

> Once you've trusted a maintainer, you have already completely surrendered any protections to their judgement. If they make a mistake with an assertion, they could also make a mistake with code, or by depending on a package with an unknown vulnerability. Similarly, if they're malicious, they already own you because you depend on their code. This RFC does not introduce any new problems or attack kinds - all it does is add another vector that is more complex and easier to fix than existing ones.

Edit2: Another way of saying it is you're essentially arguing "this feature means that given sufficient control of a popular package to make innocuous seeming but actually malicious changes essentially any compromise is possible", and the proponents of this feature are saying there are already so many ways for that level of access to be exploited this makes no difference.

The societal factors that affect which gender produces an invention globally are very complex.
