I respect N. Ch. very much for his work, enjoy and learned from his books tremendously, although, we would find things to debate easily. However, his opinion to "climate change" is just paddling water (so typical of an academic) and not contributing any real idea or analysis.

Are we so full of ourselves to buy into this with seriousness? Do you see a profit opportunity in any sector (energy, finance, industry,..) while "..improving the nature of society" (as N. Ch says) ? Why dont you start a business in that sector and just simply out-compete the "big bad wolfs" where ever you tend to see them? If you are right, and your ideas sound, you are so competent to know how to arm-wrestle other man with their skin in the game into given mode of operation, and all the renewables so cheap and profitable, lets just do it. Please, do it, and "blow us all away".

But it is cowardly, weak, ignorant and pathological to stand "shouting" at, or using the terror of government, or herd-activism, to push feel-good-agendas which you yourself are not sure are viable, cannot yourself implement into business idea, or properly manage.

These were the positions for which men were most discriminated against:

- Men were half as likely as women to get a response when applying for a child care position (25.7% of men vs. 52.8% of women)

- Men were half as likely as women to get a response when applying for a cleaner position (12.1% men vs. 27.8% women)

Women attempt suicide two to four times more often than men.
(However, men tend to use more violent, and effective, methods of suicide, so succeed more frequently than women.)
While having it configurable is one option, I'd prefer to just "chuck everything in".

A feature I would like (which would make things more complicated I realise) would be to have a variety of sources, which estimated quality for each source, and then check the quality is still high even if one of the sources is "broken".
That doesn't pass the smell test.

Sure, you can wash trade on Uniswap, but it's expensive and everyone can see you doing it. The fee on most pools on Uniswap is 0.30%.

In contrast, wash trading on most centralized exchanges is cheap or free and very hard to prove unless you have access to their internal data.
Chinese Gao Kao tests are similarly much harder than American tests; but at the end of the day I don’t think absolute difficulty matters too much as it’s a comparative test.

As long as there is differentiation it does it’s job. If the test taking population is very large the tests might need to be more difficult to make finer distinction
President Temporarily Transfers Powers and Duties of President to VP Harris
I appreciate your math, but you’re not addressing what I said. I’m talking about weight of the devices, not the power loss/inefficiency of wireless charging. Wireless chargers require relatively a lot of wire in coils, and that adds weight. Additional weight costs fuel all the time, regardless of whether people are using it.

Given that some planes already have inverters to provide power for many types of devices, including phones, it does not make sense, from a weight perspective, to add another type of charging that can only be used by phones. It would be redundant. The power loss from wireless charging itself is just an aside.

Maybe not precisely what you want, but I built a CLI tool[1] that's like a simplified and decoupled Git-LFS. It tracks large files in a content-addressed directory, and then you track the references to that store in source control. Data compression isn't a top priority for my tool; it uses immutable symlinks, not archives.

In the US in the 80’s and 90’s many kids were taught that the psychosis seen in many Vietnam soldiers after they’re return was due to psychedelic drugs and not a failed war, with little support, and lack of effort by the federal government.
my interest in this is more on the "saintly" side, so please take all my comments as naive

It appears from a casual read of spy-versus-spy sort of documents, like tell-all books or dramatic movie scripts, that "false flag" is a standard play, since forever. Second, mysterious enemies that speak in unintelligible tongues, are the perfect cover for any institution failing its own constituents.

My experience in life is that money people are attracted to money jobs which then handle money with imperfect rules. Experience also says that business is often a dog-eat-dog world where company loyalty is repaid with termination or lower wages. When confronted with the dichotomy of "thats just business" alcohol and pain-killer abuse are common responses of an injured individual. Multiply that by thousands and mortgage pressure, kids college pressure, or just skid-row entrance behavior, and you get "corruption"

creative examples from the 2000s when aforementioned mortgage fraud ran like fire through the USA: a middle-aged immigrant meeting discreetly at a restaurant, discussing with a colleague a long-term siphoning and fraud scheme, gets back into their mid-range luxory car and goes to their suburban home in the USA; an alcholic single-mother forges a few signatures while on ordinary day duty with no one watching; an up-and-coming sales guy with a sports background wants to "level up" on their property purchase next year.

I do understand that non-US people, non-English speaking people, do run blatent scams. I myself have caught a PHP hook script on a server I ran, which pullled from some Bulgarian hacker board, an infection via a single ID number, like a menu. Of course that is true! but I object to fueling prejuidices by nationality, of people.. human beings.

Most humans are innocent of all of this activity. Yet, almost every single Western adult must have money in an account somewhere. The fundemental divisiveness of the Western monetary system, now under pressure from lockdowns, retirement and health problems, appears to me to be reaching East Germany levels, and I object to wholly and readily attributing this to "outsiders"
> have a representative cross section of the population engaged in critical aspects of society

I didn't realize making people click on ads was a critical aspect of society (FAANG firms use DEI tactics to preference URMs). Getting an undergrad education in engineering at a top school isn't a critical aspect either.

Instead of focusing on white men, why don't you take a look at the stats around Asian men? Or Asians in general? The Harvard affirmative action lawsuit revealed the extent to which affirmative action is a grossly discriminative policy that unreasonably raises admission standards for certain demographics to enforce a quota (and quotas are illegal according to the Supreme Court).
Around here (USA) ISPs still give publically routables IPs to customers, and the customer is responsible for running their own NAT if they want to have multiple devices on their network. Most routers support port forwarding, which allows those households to have publically routable TCP or UDP ports on any device within the network. In theory UPNP allows devices to set this up seemlessly.

It has become less common with the rise of clouds. But it used to be common for multiplayer games to be done by one player setting up their instance as a server.

I am sure you have thought about this, but following is what I imagine it can be:

I can give username@ponymessenger.com email to new people I start communication with, like maybe part of a professional profile. An email to this address will receive an auto-reply. It will explain that message will be delivered later, and not instantly. Since this is a different email domain and opens a new line of communication, it will not carry an expectation of instant emails. It will be even better if this auto-reply contains a link to a webpage. On that page, they can modify their message or rephrase until the delivery time (with a countdown ideally). Maybe the domain name could be something that implies the delayed delivery part to make it even clearer.

From the recipient/reader side, this has to be a sacred space, away from the continuous traffic of other emails. It is not possible to turn all of our emails into delayed correspondence. Hence, this can not work as just an email client. It should help grow the network without becoming an email client.

Pony is just the messenger service needed in the ever-connected world. I had dreamed of using this kind of messenger. Thanks for building it. I hope this grows into something big.
> you absolutely need to have estimates

'How many fingers, Winston?'

'Four! Stop it, stop it! How can you go on? Four! Four!'

'How many fingers, Winston?'

'Five! Five! Five!'

'No, Winston, that is no use. You are lying. You still think there are four. How many fingers, please?'

See, I knew this comment would show up here, as it does on any discussion of software estimates. It goes like this:

"Accurate software estimates are impossible, here's empirical proof and reams of evidence."

"But we need estimates, therefore they are possible. I win."

The "hostility" I referred to was the one towards the users. Basically, he's demanding users to show evidence that whatever they want is better than BM25.

That's just wrong. Period. This is the reason I mention his job, because his job requires him to listen to the users, instead of taking something he learned in school and use that to talk condescendingly to his users. That's not gonna fly.

Given this context, I think whatever I said it is entirely appropriate.

I think he missed the part where the crypto infrastructure is aggressively based on open-source, abundance, post-scarcity, universal access, and equality.

The current "assets" that are traded are indeed meaningless, as is most of what people buy with money beyond food and basic shelter. This is what initial post-scarcity looks like: people being ridiculous with assets because they realize that assets themselves are ridiculous, because post-scarcity.

We're in a transition period, a lot of old structures don't work anymore. We're just starting to rebuild critical functions using new ways of thinking. One of my favorite examples: https://cryptoforthehomeless.org/
I think you are asserting bias in this audience. No doubt there is, on a lot of topics.

My bias in support of this article comes from many anecdotal experiences that support the conclusions of the study and none that don't.

I think your comment would indicate that I am therefore "supposedly knowledgeable" but not actually knowledgeable. I would strongly disagree: I have this scientific study and my experiential knowledge on this topic.
One of the best things Apple added to macOS a while back was the reopen all windows on startup. I don't even think twice about rebooting my Mac any more. Windows could sorely use the equivalent.

One way I dramatically reduce the amount of random reboots is I have a thing that looks like a USB flash drive but it has a few switches on the side - one of them, when activated, randomly moves the mouse every 1-5 minutes (there is also a hardware wheel knob that lets you customize the duration). It was meant to be a practical joke thing - slip it onto the back of a friends PC and drive them nuts, but it works great at tricking Windows to think the computer is being actively used. It doesn't stop all reboots caused by Windows updates, but it dramatically reduces them.

I also use it to keep my work PC awake when attending online meetings, or especially when I'm presenting. We have mandatory screen saver timeouts and for some reason I can't convince the IT overlords to tweak group policy to allow non-admins the ability to enable presentation mode. Oh well. At least they haven't resorted to only allowing whitelisted USB devices to run so my little joke USB fob still does its thing. I got it from Think Geek in their heyday but there are tons of similar devices on Amazon.
A Vulnerable System
Very weird to frame crypto as contrasting with "an open source culture that, at least aspirationally, built software around ideas of abundance, post-scarcity, universal access, and equality". Were the "older grizzled engineers" all literal communists or what?
Yes, there is, and we're all in Hell right now with no memory of what we did to deserve this suffering because God is an asshole.
The question is, which sources are "known secure"? There have been AMD systems where RDRAND is broken and always returns the same value -- I bet those users would have been happy if their webcam got mixed in.

I mean, its win/win for the exchanges though?

Lets say rich person X wants to conduct large-scale wash-trades to artificially increase (or decrease) the price of [insert cryptocoin here].

By conducting it on Exchange-Foobar, Foobar's traffic goes up, while rich person X gets the price change they want. Win-win for both parties.

EDIT: Remember: exchanges win on volume. They want more trades, they don't care if the value goes up or down.

How heavy is Poetry tool? What's it's selling point when compared with setuptools?

With setuptools, I just make setup.py and run pip install inside the root directory. If I have wheel, pip builds a wheel for my package.

Sorry, but I don't want to learn yet another packaging meta-language when plain Python worked fine for decades. Python already tried with setup.cfg ini files and people rejected it. Why would pyproject.toml be any better?

Why not improve setuptools instead? That is what sorting out packaging means. Stop copying other languages and focus on Python. Core devs took typing syntax, pattern matching and packaging from Rust and bolted it all on Python like it fits.

Well, it does not fit. Stick to your own.
A company I worked for maintained a very large on prem data center to much success. We maintained some production / user facing infra, but it was mostly for internal stuff.

We had one massive compute cluster running vmware as our personal cloud. Any dev could spin up VMs as they needed. Once this was set up (which was a lot of work), the maintenance cost in $ and time was basically 0. We also had as assortment of baremetal servers used for all sorts of things.

One of the reasons I think it worked so well for us is because IT/Linux/sysadmin skills were very high throughout the company (which I have since learned is rare). Any engineer could manage VM images, recable a server, configure VLANs, etc. If this wasn't the case, we probably would have needed double the IT team, and a lot of the cost savings would disappear.

I'm surprised that you never have bugs of the type "this thing is nil and I didn't expect it to be". This is by far the most common type of bug I see in production Ruby applications and it simply can't happen with something like Sorbet.

It's not clear why you brought up feudalism but systems in which a local lord is responsible for dispensing justice allow for far more abuse that those with centralized legal systems. It is always better for judges to be as far removed from the outcome of the case as possible.
With this sort of logic, should we get rid of movies that we deem unproductive? Burn books that don't explicitly contribute to the human race? Ban video games that promote values we disagree with?

There are entire industries designed to make people feel good and do nothing else.

Wash trading would be less of a problem if there was an independent way of valuing the asset, and we didn't derive our 'value' of the asset from what 'the last guy traded at'.

It's an inherent, infallible weakness of the type of asset.

I can't fathom how we haven't arrived at the general consensus that it's just a big scam.

I suggest that large portions of our economy depend on hype.

People Magazine generally won't say hugely negative things about celebrities, because celebrities are their currency, it's what they are selling. They're selling the illusion of celebrity, and they work with press agents etc. to concoct all of it. Talking any kind of 'reality' would be detrimental to their core business.

In much the same way, the press, including the Tech Press relies on a kind of naive, hopeful, optimism, blended with the dream of riches, or at least for others. The 'drama' of Musk, Zuck etc. keeps the clicks moving.
I don’t see any problem from Marriott. A business is smart to stay away from politics(like Elon Musk on abortion issue), especially when it is difficult to judge who is representing justice(both have bad reputation among certain group of people).
No problem, I've been doing basically solo research and experimentation for the past few months so it's fun to at least share a bit of knowledge I've accrued along the way.

For as to why Solana - it's a combination of me being very impressed by their tech as a user, engineering curiousity, and market research as to why I decided to use it for my project. I think that despite Solana having exponential growth this year, that it's likely we are still early in that specific ecosystem. I have no doubt that they are in it for the long run, and there are already some pretty impressive projects in the ecosystem and a lot more upcoming.

This is my first real independent venture since leaving the corporate world, so my personal belief from evaluating the ecosystems is that I'll put my bets on Solana. I want to both charge a low mint cost, and if I'm successful in building a small community and raising enough capitol to prevent me from having to go back and get a traditional job next year, support a longer term gaming project, and a lot of upcoming gaming projects seem to be converging on the chain. So, it's pretty much that. I don't have the same faith that these ETH L2 solutions will be heavily used 5 years from now that I do with Solana, and honestly the NFT market has been exploding lately there. Nothing's certain of course in this space, so I had to put my chips in some bag.

I also had some very poor experiences in both ETH, as well as Polygon, and wanted to just try something different. Polygon is very cheap and works well when it works, however it seems to be suffering from congestion issues on the validator nodes. I had a transaction stuck in essentially a traffic jam unable to do anything other than wait a half hour for it to clear, and did a little bit of investigation in social channels and saw I wasn't the only one that was having periodic issues with the chain. For other chains, I have only had positive experiences with AVAX, so there is that.

And yeah, there is the ability to use Solidity contracts to Solana apparently. I've never used this tool, but heard about it the other week and seems like it will be a pretty cool project to follow - https://neon-labs.org/ - They seem to be an EVM for Solana, they were I believe unveiled at the recent Solana conference. I've not looked into them more beyond this, but yeah they might be a good project to look into if you are interested in porting some Solidity contracts to Solana.

Is it faulty because of the qualifier "much"? It has to be taken with further context, this was just an illustrative example. I'm sure if, for example, you ride motorbikes a vast number of deaths are the fault of the driver.

> all care related death have been caused by "other" people

this doesn't follow from the example I gave. The point is you can't use statistical averages for a decision that likely will have far more context to it.

I'm not surprised. Gender discrimination hurts us all, this should go without saying. Man are expected to be certain things, woman are expected to be certain things. Those social expectations, implicit or explicit, effect our actual behavior, and are the root and cause of the discriminiation.
