Magic is actually really enhanced by capitalism, imo. Trading cards is a really enticing aspect of it (which you can skip entirely if you want), each one having different cards is really interesting (you start with a novice set and can get better by acquiring the right cards). There is always that mystery of someone with really powerful cards, it creates an interesting atmosphere (and makes good cards really remarkable). Teaching children about economics is a good thing for me as well.

Games like Dominion (deck-building Magic) are really good, but you don't get this aspect of the game.

Now, maybe if everyone were given a random set of cards which you had to trade your way to glory that could be interesting as well. Maybe a victory allows you points or permits trading one of your cards for the opponent. In that case, Magic gets more meritocratic. However, this is essentially a parallel, magic-exclusive economy. And the glaring issue would be preventing the bleeding/interference of the real economy into this lateral economy.
As far as I'm concerned it's bad terminology. Microcode to me at least means the processor trapping and emulating some edge case or similar, so I nearly always say decode to micro-ops whenever I can instead.
I think they'd see it as fine as long as you don't come to it by force, either your own or the government's. Generally these folks seem to think that in a free market that it's easy to be toppled by upstarts and hard to become very large without the state helping you. Would that be the case? I have no clue.

I mean, anarchy is about removing the central state first and foremost. The economics bit is where these folks differ from the traditional anarchists.
28 trillion? A 3000 km long by 1m^2 cross section solid aluminium conductor would only cost 22-ish billion, and that lets you put the PV in Gobi desert with minimal losses.

But overproduction and diversity of the type of renewable is probably even cheaper.
It does reduce the total danger. Cyclists are killed by cars all the time, whereas pedestrians dying to bikes is extraordinarily rare.

In Germany, protected bike lanes are mostly extensions of the sidewalk, and while it's not ideal, it still works pretty well.
I'm not the one who's uninformed. Total consumer credit as a share of GDP was 18% in 2001 and is 19% now.

Those offers aren't new either. They were around 20 years ago. And back then you could stick the balance in a savings account to arb a few percent positive interest.
I built a zap to store off slack conversations to google sheets (for a slack I joined a few years ago, where I would also notify the user I was going to do this).

But yes, an automated solution would be great.

Still doesn't deal with question quality though. When I am writing a forum question, I spend more time making it a good post than when I just toss out a slack q.
What can I say, I try to rise above the illiterate mass shrug.
You’re mischaracterizing the user experience. As a logged out user the signup nag can be easily closed or ignored and is identical to the logged in user’s. Often times Pinterest has a copy of the image and metadata when the original site may be offline.
I did that and next month new unapproved charge again. What happened is they auto updates stolen card with Postmates and then told me to contact Postmates but I don’t have account with them. I basically now have to cancel credit card every month. I’m just gonna have to figure out how to get new one.
I think your math doesn't distinguish between rates and amounts: indeed, if every kid in the US got COVID and only 600 died, then sure, you could make the claim that it's less risky than driving. (Also, the pandemic would be over, rendering this whole conversation moot.)

The truth is we don't know how many kids in the US have had COVID, but I'm pretty sure it's not 100% of them -- which is why the number I cite is the estimated case fatality rate and not just the total number of cases.

>Perhaps there's an unmet market need for a product that both excels at synchronous and asynchronous communication.

Basecamp?
I still prefer phpbb and vbulletin to slack and discord...
I like the idea of Discord in general. It certainly does have uses like making voice communication more accessible.

But I think I must be in the small minority who thinks that Discord UI/UX is beyond terrible and Discord is nothing more than a terrible walled garden where none of the content has any discoverability.

One thing we've learned in the last few decades is that hierarchical organization doesn't work. This was obvious in the days of the Yahoo Directory and probably long before. Trees are bad tools for humans to organize things because the mental model you have for how to organize things is likely not obvious to other people so to use your hierarchy requires users to take on and unfamiliar and opaque organization structure.

This is why tagging is so much better.

Think of something as simple as organizing an MP3 library. Is it Artist -> Album -> Song? What about year? What about artist type? You see how quickly it breaks down.

Discord channels are a hierarchy.

So for a developer or project Discord, what should your channels be? #bug-reports, #suggestions, #feedback? Well already you've run into problems as a given submission might be more than one of these. Or it might apply to a particular major version and someone might only be interested in those posts.

Furthermore, every time I try and do anything in Discord, I can never intuit my way to it. I have to google it almost without exception. There are multiple places where settings are, all on different parts of the screen.

I tried to use a personal Discord to organize select information from multiple other Discords. There's functionality, for example, to follow a given channel... except some owners disable that (it seems?).

So I'd go wider than the developer community: don't use Discord for anything that's meant to be discoverable or searcchable or you're going to have a bad time.
>Or luxury companies creating "come to us with your damaged bag and we'll repair it for you instead of throwing it out, because we care about the environment" programs, but at the same time having a policy of slashing and throwing away unsold merchandise

Very cynically, the first program would also help stamp out any market for repairing their bags outside of their control. Which just further reduces the value of slashed merchandise without proof of purchase.
2FA doesn't seem like a golden bullet here, where if I understand the attack vector correctly, the malicious party convinced support to grant them access (presumably since they claimed to be working from home).

If they issued 2FA hard tokens, the attacker would have to wait a few days for them to arrive, but they would be allowed in all the same.

Only issue with SO is that you (as a company or community) don't have as much control. That may or may not be an issue depending on goals.

Which is good. Hydrocarbons need to be in that sweet spot so as to make early-gen renewables somewhat competitive but also not to collapse the market economy which is affording the R&D into the latter.
Or everyone starts doing it. That will quickly add up. Just think of revenue they could get from millions of users for providing no service at all...
RF usually has not too many transistors, but sometimes a lot of coils and capacitors. You can see the coils in the design, somewhat snake-like. Capacitors can be realized in many ways, conducting material over a dielectric.

Bulk capacitors are external (as you can see). Matching LC are external because those depend on the antenna; I'm a little disappointed there wasn't more detail given of the antenna, because this type I believe is a 'first' for the RPi 'in-board' antennas, in that they have two lines of series-connected capacitors inside the 'triangle'. I don't yet know how this works.

RF ICs are usually hand-routed, too. So you get to see some real 'Art'.
I appreciate that you described a religious flamewar as hellish.
There are so many unlimited liability services that are extremely difficult to avoid as a business.

I presume the primary issues is that service suppliers don't want to implement the systems to actually measure realtime costs properly (due to implementation costs, and balance sheet liability avoidance?).

For example we wished to buy an IP phone service, but to avoid the high cost of getting hacked I wanted a way to limit our liability. There were not many choices. We choose a solution that was a prepay dollars-per-month-per-line system where we still signed unlimited liability: but at least it was more likely the cost would be controlled by the provider to the prepay amount (unless limit was lifted by crackers changing account limits). We were also careful with website passwords, and we paid on a business credit card for a second layer of protection.
The New York Times has been running a series on traffic stops focusing on reasons for the high death rate among motorists who are pulled over, but they also did this long and infuriating piece on the funding issue. It was actually somehow even worse than I expected:

The main issue with unity builds is the simple fact that you get very slow incremental builds. When working on a project you generally want to keep a cache of already-built files to avoid wasting time on a rebuild, while not sacrificing runtime speed in the form of disabling optimizations. With C unity builds don't quickly get very bad, but with C++ it grows fast. This goes hand-in-hand with the fact that for clean builds, parallelizing compilation can improve its speed by a significant amount.

And for bigger projects (especially when we're talking C++), unity builds are simply infeasible due to their RAM requirements. Compiling a single file in the firefox code can take up to 3GB at times, and while you may consider it an extreme example, it can be deceptively easy to reach such numbers.

All of this is of course not considering the namespace collision issues, where in C++, the "anonymous" namespace is shared across the entire file, and similarly, in C, functions and variables marked as "static" are only visible in the file they're defined in. Both of these are very useful features to reduce verbosity and reduce namespace clutter.
The US national speed limit was imposed as a fuel economy measure not a safety measure.
Slack developer here, views are my own.

Prior to Slack I spent many years as an OSS maintainer. I also participated in a Slack channel that discussed my OSS tool's general problem space. That Slack workspace was on the free plan, so messages older than 6 months were memory-holed.

In practice that wasn't too big of an issue. Most developers understood that GitHub was the place for concrete actionable things and long-term discussions, whereas Slack was the place to build relationships and address burning questions quickly. Most developers understood this distinction, though occasionally some would have to be steered towards GitHub when discussing potential bugs that benefitted a proper write-up.

I also worked at a large company that paid for Slack, and it was much more of a long-term memory resource. But as always, whenever I found myself repeatedly searching in the message history for a particular piece of information it always made sense to put it somewhere more defined — in a readme or some other sort of document.

At Slack we have the same basic breakdown — Slack (the software) provides a really useful context for why certain decisions were made, and in a pinch the search feature is great for finding particular nuggets of information, but that doesn't stop us using Quip, GitHub and Jira for tracking longer-lived information.

Sohrab Ahmari spelled out his views on "being tolerant of divergent viewpoints" quite clearly — he's not a fan: https://www.firstthings.com/web-exclusives/2019/05/against-d...

"Civility and decency are secondary values. They regulate compliance with an established order and orthodoxy. We should seek to use these values to enforce our order and our orthodoxy, not pretend that they could ever be neutral. To recognize that enmity is real is its own kind of moral duty."

And, lest you think that he intends to pursue a different course at this "University", or that the above does not represent the University's vision, here's what he wrote today: https://twitter.com/SohrabAhmari/status/1457712410438119427

"I told the founders that, standing in the ancient tradition of Catholic education, I don’t, in fact, believe that the university can or should enshrine mere free speech or free inquiry as its highest ideal. I was pleasantly surprised when they replied, “That’s why we want you.”"
What if you don't need a community? Why does everything have to be a community now?

To that point: slack/discord/irc/whatsapp/pub conversations are a great way to bootstrap a community before you invest in something longer term, if it's needed. Find your like-minded friends and then grow it out.

In fact, I can use my own experience in the mid-2000s as an example: we used existing forums like Gamesradar and rllmuk and neogaf to bootstrap our offshoot forums. Most failed, some succeeded for a while (one was PoopGang IIRC).

Discord servers aren't really so different from that.
> maybe Zillow is just no good at predicting housing prices.

You can spot check the historical “Zestimate” for a few homes over a few years and notice the drastic spikes and troughs where the inaccurate Zillow price was instantly corrected after a real market event. Overall their modeling is wrong, but still useful.
It is not surprising it is that simple. It really is that simple to generate CRUD templates. People just don’t do it.
It should be but it's included in LTS software which is still supported

CentOS 7, for instance, still has 3 more years of patch support

I think Discourse is the first real attempt to bring forums in-line with "modern" UI expectations, which is why it feels like it won. There's probably lots of room to grow here. There's forums out there that allow SMTP-only [1] or SMTP and NNTP reading/posting [2], there's forum skins atop mailing lists like [3], there's distributed forums like Aether or Lemmy like [4, 5]. Unfortunately these are all new/raw.

It's not like hand-rolling the equivalent services that DD provides is free.

> now you're at $2189.48 and counting.

This is a wonderful bargain compared to the expense of hiring a full-time engineer (or more) to provision and maintain all the infrastructure that DD replaces.
That is an entirely fair point. I agree.
There are two types of gate checked bags. Proper gate checked bags get the full sized label that all other checked bags get, and are fully in the system, and if nothing goes wrong gets spit out at your final destination on baggage claim, like normal checked luggage.

Valet Checked bags use pink/red tags and are supposed to be returned on the jetway. It is supposed to be impossible for these bags not to be returned planeside, and are not supposed to get intermingled with the normally checked baggage. In practice I've seen this not work out first hand, with the bag ending up in baggage claim. (I've seen others say the same thing happened to them too. I suspect some airports actually have baggage handling set up to check for these if they get "into the system", and forward them to baggage claim, as the safest option.)
BTW, without batteries the same solar system would cost about ten trillion. However, because you would be subject to the realities of solar power generation [0], the actual system would probably have to be at least three times larger...which brings us back to the 30 to 40 trillion range.

This is awesome! Harkens back to the internet of yonder when things were more simple, yet fun.
I’ve gone to places that exhibit live butterflies and I watch live butterflies feeding in their natural environment. It’s anecdotal.
The article assumes that the trees will be left in place to rot and release CO2 or be cut down and burnt. It also assumes the forests will be planted atop existing ecosystems. In related news, bailing out a sinking boat by dumping the water back into the boat won’t work.

Off the top of my head: Build a nuclear powered desalination plant for LA. Redirect their current water supply to some already-ruined desert or abandoned farm land, and use it to irrigate massive tree farms.

Cut the farms down every ~ 10 years, and bury the wood in a quarry or other decomposition-hostile environment.

This sidesteps all the process bottlenecks mentioned in the article.

There’s a question of whether fertilizer is needed (the article suggests not). We already know how to convert energy to fertilizer at industrial scale, thanks to the Haber-Bosch process.
It’s a little disingenuous to ask a question and then answer it yourself.
After trying to set up Fargate and it only sending my logs to cloudwatch 25% of the time (Id deploy and get no logs, try again two to three times literally just clicking the button in the web console again and then it would work), if course AWS charged me for every . Two days and a $150 bill later I got fed up and moved to DigitalOcean App platform, where I fixed the issue (was a bug in my health checks) within ten minutes and a monthly bill of $10. That day I decided I will never again use AWS unless I can pay someone who really knows what they’re doing to do it for me (and I have a good reason to actually want to use AWS). My life has been much less stressful since.
Generally tokenization is done by some vault or processor. I don't know how Amazon operates internally, due to their scale means it's probably all in house. But Visa does have token representations and they do also have visa account updater (which keeps visa/merchants in sync for saved instruments .. e.g. Netflix). I've never seen the token implemented, generally just some vault (Braintree, Spreedly, etc). And if you are typing in a 15/16 digit number it's likely being vaulted/tokenized but not by the issuer but by the merchant/processor.

For China (and quite a lot of other places, including the UK) the alternative to building a battery supply chain is to build a supply chain for something else, not to keep the existing and increasingly pointless coal-based supply chains.

I have the same experience with solar. I would also agree that there is not enough solar and wind production.
Clearly this is not very defensible. More data, more GPUs, more time, and you have similar or better results. There's a reason why Google, FB, Amazon haven't bitten the same bullet for an exclusive license.
I've posted this here in a comment before, but I just made some small updates and figured I'd submit. A while back I wished I could see what commands I'd run in a directory I hadn't worked in for months. I found a couple projects that could accomplish this but consisted of thousands of lines of code and a database install. I wanted a more "unix" solution so I built this.
Where I live, people flying past you at 100+mph is a common occurrence on the autostrada. (Yeah not US.) Speed limit is 80ish.
It’s not extremely hard to set up SSO with the big (tech) providers like GitHub and Google.

Would you be cool with “log in with google”?
I may be misremembering, but I am quietly confident that about 15 years ago I could instruct google to remember a list of sites that I wanted excluded from any of my search results.

I definitely recall that up until about 10 years ago ebay had a similar feature, where I could define various vendors that I wanted to exclude forever after.

Ebay has the two-master problem in spades, of course, but removing these types of features is an especially non-subtle reminder that as a consumer you're very low down on the corporation's care list.

Having to manually modify all my search queries forever more is an offensive cognitive burden.
I absolutely believe nearly all of Congress is profoundly corrupt.

However the closer the gov, the more it directly it impacts me. My county is generally square with us and I've been happy with them. Conversely, my state leadership choices have resulted in years of real-life grief for us.

FWIW, county and state are dominated by the same party. My county mostly serves us while the state serves party+donors and that's about it.

Committing private keys is definitely the wrong thing to do. But if the system is talking to something, then generating new keys won’t help either. What you need is some kind of system to deploy or retrieve secrets. There are various different solutions that exist for this.

It seems to me Github Discussions does the job for a forum (for open source devs at least). Are there significant advantages to setting up a standalone forum suite like Discourse? I imagine you do have to spend quite a bit of resources to setup and maintain such thing.
The brilliant Zillow AI got fooled by old fashioned American DIY home improvement catastrophes.
We are using a bunch of cloud services at the moment such as AWS, GCP, Snowflake, Databricks.

These are all fantastic and I’m glad that we have them, but at the end of the month it feels like gut punches when the bills roll in.

Between the infrastructure as code, the auto scaling and the weird credit based systems, it feels totally out of control even at micro scale.

If I ever held the budget for a large organisation again I wouldn’t sleep at night with the amount of financial risk.

Cloud cost control should definetly be a growing demand in the future.
