All of these things aped by dissertation

see: https://www.usenix.org/legacy/events/atc10/tech/full_papers/... and http://www.usenix.org/events/lisa11/tech/full_papers/Potter....

what I did differently was basically say that it should be a linux distribution. each layer should be equivalent to a debian/redhat package, with full dependency information between them. therefore it be easy to a) create an image (just pick the highest level things you want and the rest get resolved automatically, much like calling yum/apt-get in a Dockerfile) b) upgrade an image when you want to (i.e. similiar to upgrading an existing redhat/debian system, it just creates a new image artifact that can be tested and deployed)

you also don't have much hiding in the system as opposed to today. Yes, they might be built on debian, ubuntu or redhat, but you really can't verify easily what changes they made in the middle with ease. In my system, imagine there's a "Debian" layer repository, in general, you would end up with a bunch of easily verifiable debian layers and a small set of "user defined" layers (and when an image is deployed, the actual container layer). the user defined layers would be much harder to hide things in, i.e. it be very visible if one is overriding binaries or configuration files that you expect to come from a controlled package.

considering the amount of language and implementation that docker seems to share with mine that predates it, one has to wonder if they saw my talks / read my papers (though yes, its very possible they came up with it totally independently as well). They were active in the usenix and lisa communities (at least when they were more alive).

Ok then.
You can quite confidently conclude that if it contains artificial sweeteners, it is quite sweet, and way too sweet for my taste.
I’m not sure what your point is? You’re kind of proving them right. I guess you’re trying to equate drugs with crypto, saying if it was criminalized it would spike in price, but that’s a false equivalency. Drugs provide a utility all on their own they depend on users speculating about them just to have value. If anything the inverse applies here, but for the same reason, a currency that the government doesn’t want you to use will have less value because you’ll only be able to exchange it with nefarious organizations who can pick and choose the price. Drugs are expensive because the risk of them being illegal is factored in and the suppliers can demand whatever they want.
Yeah... Right. It has nothing to do with the extremely low pay, terrible management, psycho customers with no support against customer abuses, frequent changes in hours, a lack of pay stability, seeing new people starting wages above trained staff wages, finally having an employee market for the first time in decades to give them options...

None of that is a factor at all. It's all those thieves that the employees rarely ever see taking things that don't matter to the employees. Uh huh...

No one in retail in a corporate store cares at all about theft. Theft is written off of the corporate taxes. Theft saves more in taxes than the items stolen are worth to the company. The company writes off the retail price while only paying the wholesale price. Corporations don't really care if the item is stolen or sold. They get their profit from the item either way.
If you previously received an mRNA vaccine then you might want to consider waiting to get a booster until the Novavax vaccine is approved. It uses different technology and we expect that the combination of two different vaccine types will likely produce a wider spectrum of immunity. But there's little hard data on that so far and you shouldn't take this as medical advice.

I didn't start drinking coffee until well into my 20s, just never developed a taste for it.

One day after I had started drinking coffee a friend wanted to go to Starbucks. They were excited that I finally started drinking coffee and we could go for a walk and grab a cup. I had heard Starbucks was pretty awful coffee but the coffee was a side point, so I went and got a cup of coffee.

I was wildly caffeinated the rest of the day. My brain had made an incorrect association that "awful coffee" == "weak coffee" so I got the largest one because I was a bit tired. That was WAY TOO MUCH caffeine, a Venti coffee at Starbucks has 225mg of caffeine and the standard cup I was brewing at home / in the office was closer to 90mg.

That was a difficult afternoon at work, unable to sit still, agitated, but I learned a good lesson. Starbucks didn't get rich from flavor, they did it the old fashioned way, massive quantities of addictive substances, caffeine and sugar.
Startup failure is fine, not being accountable to your employees is what we have a problem with. The concept of the workers council in German law keeps throwing wrenches into the attempts to import the more exploitative business models from the US (N26 and Gorillas are recent cases) and Walmart completely flopped for related reasons. I do admire the business and entrepreneurship culture over the pond, but I think we can import the best bits of that without treating humans like fungible capital and burnout culture. It will just take a lot of time, especially in Germany (my native country), the business culture is still very conservative in the sense of rule based and authority/hierarchy oriented. I think if Germany adopted californias laws on non-competes and employee IP a lot would be gained already.

Notably, Sweden has a very robust social security network and a lot of entrepreneurship as well, the Swedes I talked to explicitly pointed to it as something that eased their way into taking risks.

Hah! I do think there is an aspect of “cool club” that, whether successfully or not, the Web3 community wants to get across.

I’m an outsider to that community. Perhaps @pinboard said it less hypefully when he described it as an “unregulated casino with a bar scene attached”.

Should we make MDMA, opium, heroin and crack legal to purchase and broadly available for all adults without any form of prescription? After all, Tobacco and Alcohol is legal...

Here is the thing, some highs are much more potent and addictive than others. Growing up in the 90's and having seen the damages of heroin, I'd say no, it doesn't matter whether Tobacco or Alcohol are also legal.
These are the types of stuff you typically run on the fly in the command line, not full blown scripts you intended to be reused and shared.

Here's a few examples from my command history:

Hell if I know what they do now, they made sense when I ran them. If I need them again, I'll type them up again.
This is an unnecessarily sanctimonious post in my opinion. If you're in favour of fresh restrictions then for how long? To what extent? How much collateral damage in terms of mental health, education, the economy, social cohesion etc are you willing to accept? Implying people are selfish after two years of sacrifice is a rather churlish angle, in my opinion people advocating for continuing restrictions need to put numbers and cost/benefit analyses forward rather than cheap appeals to emotion.

Some people talk about these things as though they're inconsequential but the fact of the matter is that indefinite social distancing means effectively admitting we're going to permanently shutter swathes of the economy along with many cultural institutions that depend on high footfall. Indefinite masks means unprecedented levels of plastic pollution and difficulties for those with various disabilities. It's easy for us on HN who largely work remotely and earn high salaries to claim these measures are inconsequential but to many in other industries they are absolutely devestating.
> We vaccinate them against everything under the sun, so they very rarely get a cold.

During the fists and second year here in Argentina kids get a trip to the vaccination center every 2-3 mounts, and each trip includes like 2 injections, and each injections prevents like 3 illness. Anyway, some illness are repeated because the vaccines are not 100% effective with only one dose. I just counted the list in the official site https://www.argentina.gob.ar/salud/vacunas and the total is like 20 illness.

Anyway, in particular the kids still get:

* Common cold: It's quite popular, and this year it was a big problem because every time a kid sneeze, you must go to a covid19 test center just in case.

* Those unnamed illness, where the kid get fever for 3 or 4 days and then a lot of small red points in the body and then disappears.

* Random diarrhea and vomit.
of course they'd say that, why would they want to lose the ability in destroying countries' financial stabilities?
It is hard not to interpret this as posturing to head off any wise ideas by the only country in a dire enough situation to be swayed by it. Normalizing BTC or other cryptoassets as a transactional currency rather than an asset reframes the way it is treated tax-wise, another interpretation is that it threatens their power structure, which one could imagine challenges the IMF's business model as they're a cooperative of entities focusing on guiding how money is used, distributed, managed, and created. Those controls become hard to enforce on Bitcoin or other cryptoassets when it goes from asset class to transactional class.
Can someone with expertise or background chime in why the IMF is even making this statement?
Thanks for the info, I personally avoid the message mode and just operate on bytes so that could be why I haven't had problems with it.
Who is the "They" that you all keep mentioning? I haven't heard anyone push the pangolin theory since, like, March 2020. I listen to the podcast "This Week in Virology" a lot and can only remember them occasionally addressing it as a discarded theory.

It seems to me like people are talking about some Boogeyman here. I need specifics on this "they" because otherwise it just comes across as rhetoric
No, "the news" is not the same as a sort of "digital twin" global crisis data model. There are attempts at trying to map the news. The Ukrainian crisis fostered the creation of the Live UA Maps project:

https://liveuamap.com/

Its coverage has since expanded to include Syria, Afghanistan, Lebanon and beyond.

But mapping "the news" is insufficient. You also have the Humanitarian Open Street Map Team:

https://www.hotosm.org/

Because they sometimes need to create maps of places that have literally never been mapped before. For example, zoom in to Nigeria:

https://www.hotosm.org/where-we-work/nigeria/

There is a hell of a lot to make a global data model and map system work. And we're missing a hell of a lot pretending that "the news" will do it for us.

Again, I foresee that this is the kind of work that needs a Wikipedia-level of involvement on a global scale. There are emergent elements of it, but we're not there yet.
In my experience it is incredibly common for people without much money to have cars that seem impractical, because they are easy to buy but hard to maintain. I think this is pretty common with cars that were very popular when they were first released (the 300 was) so the market is saturated with old ones in rough condition that are cheap to purchase but terrible to maintain.

Sample size of 1, but my roommate in college (I was in college, he was not) went through 3 cars in the amount of time I had just 1 because he only ever had enough money to buy a crappy car and had terrible credit. They all broke down pretty quickly so he ended up spending more in the long-run, but in the end he had to get to work, so he did what he had to do.
Even if giants and fanboys hate it, countries can force them to implement tech solutions, even US does it (I think they forced companies to add the Unsubscribe things to the emails , I bet you did not like citizens forcing the programers implement the Unsubscribe, it is such a big work where you could have spend it sending even more spam and more tracking)

But we will see if Apple, Google ,Facebook will leave EU or will try to screw us over but in a different way.

The relevant bit:

> 13. Efforts to improve financial inclusion and raise growth are welcome, but risks arising from Bitcoin as a legal tender, the new payments ecosystem and trading in Bitcoin should be addressed. Crypto-technologies and digital payment systems like Chivo have the potential to make payments more efficient, thereby enhancing financial inclusion and supporting growth. Given Bitcoin’s high price volatility, its use as a legal tender entails significant risks to consumer protection, financial integrity, and financial stability. Its use also gives rise to fiscal contingent liabilities. Because of those risks, Bitcoin should not be used as a legal tender. Staff recommends narrowing the scope of the Bitcoin law and urges strengthening the regulation and supervision of the new payment ecosystem. Like for other e-wallets, Chivo should be required to fully safeguard customers' funds, both in U.S. dollars and Bitcoin, by segregating and ring-fencing reserve assets. Stronger regulation and oversight of the new payment ecosystem should be immediately implemented for consumer protection, anti-money laundering and counter financing of terrorism (AML/CFT), and risk management. Banking regulation should incorporate prudential safeguards such as conservative capital and liquidity requirements related to Bitcoin exposure. Measures to limit fiscal contingent liabilities, such as winding down the trust fund or withdrawing public subsidies to Chivo, should also be promptly considered. Recently announced plans to use the proceeds of new sovereign bond issuances to invest in Bitcoin, and the implications of trading more broadly in Bitcoin, will require a very careful analysis of implications for, and potential risks to, financial stability.
Kind of. The only issue is that I only use Twitter/IG for personal friends and not "influencer" level people.

I think some of kind of organized curation would be nice. For instance, I follow https://fivebooks.com/ a lot, which asks subject matter experts on their recommendation. Something like that for nice consumer goods would be cool.
It seems like it could be a debate worth having. I'd love to see a similar breakdown of vaccine deaths by age (though I don't think there's an official count of confirmed vaccine deaths yet).

If a healthy under-40 individual had the same or slightly higher risk of dying from the vaccine as from covid, but a lower risk of passing it to their parents and any elderly person they come into contact with, should they prioritize their own small statistical advantage over the lives of those others? Should they also consider infections down the line, generated by the individuals they infected?

If someone were to present a convincing case that such a hypothetical were true, I might be forced to rethink some things. However, since the vaccine isn't mandatory, I don't see much in the way of actionable conclusions (other than posting the stats to the CDC website). Personally, I'd take on at least double the (low) risk to try and protect my family. But I'm also biased by knowing how shitty COVID can be, and preferring a quick death to a COVID death.

Are you suggesting that there is common and widespread fraud with how food is labelled, to the extent that labels no longer can be trusted?
From my perspective China did an amazing job at handling COVID, it is other countries that fucked up by not taking it seriously - not doing quarantining properly, waiting until domestic spread was out of control to take half-hearted and unenforced measures to slow the spread. In comparison China took quarantining and contact tracing very seriously and was effective at stopping their domestic spread early in the pandemic.

You could blame China for most hypotheses for Covid’s origins: lab-leak from gain of function research, unsanitary wet markets, or not following proper cleanliness procedures for field research. But I think those things (besides lab leaks) could have happened in literally any developing country, and most probably would have done even worse at containing it than China.

What I don’t think you can blame China for is the virus escaping their country. They would be (rightly) be under a ton of fire from the international community if they had not allowed non-citizens to leave their country at the start of the pandemic.

Honestly because sometimes it's all you need.

Take Rails Hotwire for example. It's easy to write, easy to add JS when you need it, easy to make mobile apps since they've already done the work. It's live on Basecamp and Hey.com apps, it works very nicely. Hey is easily the snappiest email client I've ever used.

I'm curious about your thoughts on that locality of behavior idea vs aspects of precision and composability. For example, the argument goes that the behavior of `hx-get` is obvious upon inspection, but the terseness is achieved by omitting the event type (i.e. it's assumed/implied that hx-get runs on click). The quintessential widget where that breaks down is the table w/ checkboxes for batch operations over an arbitrary subset of rows. That's where less DSL-ish frameworks' abstraction via state management tend to shine, since they allow the developer to more precisely specify how disparate checkboxes relate to a bigger picture that may also involve table sorting (both client and server varieties) or nested modal structures or other forms of complexity.
> Judges do not decide fact.

Trial court judges in jury trials do not (in principal) decide fact questions (though even that is misleading, since they can decide “as a matter of law” that offered evidence is insufficient for a particular fact conclusion even over the jury’s determination of fact, except in the case where that would be unfavorable to the defense in a criminal trial.)

Judges in bench trial, and appellate judges in many cases, do, in fact, decide matters of fact, though in the latter case the usual rules are generally, but not infinitely, deferential to trial court decisions.
