These days, where basically nobody has a real ip, this is not entirely true. Using tor, you can easily expose a server to the outside world, the other point must support tor connections. Is there a way to freely expose anything to the outside world without needing special software on the client side?

There is no selection pressure for Covid to become less lethal. None whatever.

Furthermore, no human virus has ever evolved to become less lethal.

Unfortunately this myth is often used by those who would like us to let Covid keep on killing, in order to protect their cashflows and for ideological and political reasons.

I love dig but never liked that I couldn't easily use it to monitor DNS propagation. To a single host sure, but to actually see changes propagate over regions its not easy.

To solve this I wrote dug. It's similar to dig, albeit less powerful for info about single hosts, but is specifically designed to monitor large numbers of servers and to 'watch' DNS propagation.

Thanks. This is a helpful link. If the majority of good/honest nodes and the Bitcoin developers decide to implement a change, presumably this change will occur. My understanding is this happened recently with Taproot for example so one must infer that this is possible. Obviously such changes only impact new blocks but naturally this can still have an impact on the general ecosystem.

Here is a hypothetical situation for consideration (please shoot holes in it!).

The year is 2105, Bitcoin is the defacto world currency. Everyone is paid in Bitcoin and all transactions are performed in Bitcoin. Democratically elected world governments control the majority hashrate since they have decided that it is too risky to allow private individuals to control the network.

A major financial crisis emerges in which prices of goods relative to Bitcoin are on a severe downward trend. Individuals realize that if they simply delay purchases, their own purchasing power will increase - further reducing demand for goods and services thus further decreasing price. Since businesses cannot make a profit in this situation, workers need to be paid less continuing the deflationary cycle.

Democratically elected world governments decide that inflation is necessary in Bitcoin in order to avoid an exceedingly long painful and unnecessary economic depression. World governments work with Bitcoin developers to start rewarding miners with 20 Bitcoin per block mined thus devaluing the currency. 99.9999% of citizens of the world agree with this move. After the financial crisis is abated, world governments determine that a 2% inflation rate should be built into the Bitcoin in order to avoid such problems in the future and virtually everyone is happy with this.

Is such a scenario impossible?
Much as I love Python, there certainly are some corners of the ecosystem like that which have issues. Zip file support is another one where it's fine for many common cases but you don't have to try very hard to hit some niggles. The thing is I don't know if that's particular to Python, or whether every language ecosystem has this but Python is so widely used more people hit these issues.

Of course you have a stand-alone executable. At least if by "stand-alone" you mean a copy you can ship to users. Which is at least the only thing I care about. And tell me which popular (say) Windows software actually comes as a single .exe. They're all many files in multiple folders. And there's no problem with that. You have one installer, which users download, which then extracts the files. Your criticism points out a non-issue.

I think many people’s postive Web3 experience has been signing a transaction with Metamask as a proof of identity, at least that’s the most obvious magic I’ve seen, the notion that I can interact with a website without registering an account with email and 2FA etc etc feels futuristic and a good step toward whatever the metaverse is, allowing me to have a consistent identity across platforms.

But can’t this be accomplished with older crypto primatives? Is there any implementation of posting my ssh public key and being able to prove my identity by signing a transaction? I ask because I agree with the author, the work that a blockchain peforms is pitiful given the extraordibary cputime and bandwidth committed to the effort, and I appreciate their psychoanalysis that so many of us willing to follow a messiah if they promise to lead us out of the desert.
We're just now noticing the edge of the cliff rapidly passing eye level as we fall. Every time tech gets easier, its users get more ignorant. Microsoft can take a shit in our mouths with Windows 11 because the average Windows 11 user doesn't even know what an operating system is, let alone that they can change to a different one. Facebook and YouTube can do whatever they want because their only competitors are even more toxic than they are.

Who do you think could make big tech fall? The politicians who think it's perfect the way it is or the ones who think it needs to be much worse?

> If all countries strongly ban Bitcoin with harsh penalties, that seems like it would put a kabosh on my ability to turn it into real world currency.

You're forgetting black markets. Drug dealers and gun runners and human traffickers are already breaking serious laws. They don't care about breaking other laws. If they get caught they're already going to jail whether they use illegal math or not.

The lack of utility also assumes that all countries would ban it, which seems unlikely, if only because some countries have the incentive to do anything they can to stick it to other countries they don't like. Then it still retains value globally because it can be turned into real stuff in those countries.

The real issue is this: You can't ban it for the "bad stuff" that gets used as the excuse to ban it, because those guys will just break the law, as they already do. You can ban it for innocent people using it for innocent things, but that's just stupid.

Or corrupt, because incumbents don't like the competition, which is the strongest driving force for such laws.

Not really "the vast majority" ...

I believe the problem on Google's side is that it is easier to do good services on easy stuff, like mail and simple search querries like "who is the president in Finland" or "when does X close".

So Google prioritizes trivia searches over searches an unsophisticated dentist would querry to look up some procedure.

Programmers just seem to rely more on websearches where other fields have like magazines, workplace courses and conferences.
They care because none of this seemed to matter until the White House and then the big media, who is being tagged as authoritative despite getting a lot wrong, were ratioed consistently.

People asked why disliking POTUS matters now, when it didn't before.

People asked why big media gets to fact check everyone, despite obvious, daily bias and error, and dislikes are hidden for them and this helps everyone how exactly?

People noticed some creators are widely disliked consistently, yet enjoy consistent promotion. They noticed money seems to matter.

Creators who generate many ratioed videos are different from those who don't, or who have a mix of some kind too.

All of these were brought up in discussion, brought to me by normies basically unable to buy into the, "you do not need that info because..." line they were given.

And now that they are talking about it, topic of interest, they are wondering about other things, like why their Facebook keeps removing what they thought were private exchanges...

Posting from a throwaway account.

I used to know John. Would see him maybe twice a month. Always said a friendly hello, made pleasant conversation, etc. Never once did he make the slightest effort to get to know me.

One day I googled my name just to see what came up, and one of the top results was from a message board where my name was mentioned. A bunch of people I'd never met were shit-talking me because they didn't like some stuff I'd written online in a blog under a pseudonym.

John chimed in with comments about how he'd known me, nobody in the group liked me, there was "something wrong" with me and I was "odd" and so on. Nice words from a guy who went to church every week and seemed to be a very proud Christian - and just like this blog post, never seemed to turn down an opportunity to toot his own horn.

That "something wrong" and "oddness" was the struggle of trying to socialize normally and form interpersonal relationships with people after nearly non-stop psychological and physical abuse during my kindergarten through middle/high school years.

Any potential employers, roommates, friends, or romantic partners would see that page. It was a witch-hunt.

Seeing that page, and realizing how it had likely at least influenced my seeking employment opportunities and trying to form friendships, find a partner, etc - nearly caused a mental breakdown.

So, John, do tell me about how much you care about "psychological safety."

I'm not sure even the cloud providers themselves could give you this information.

In Nov 2020, AWS Kinesis Firehose went down for a few hours and took down a slew of other services that depended on each other (Cloudwatch depends on kinesis, ec2 autoscaling and lambda depend on cloudwatch, everyone depends on ec2 and lambda...)

This was all sort of a large surprise internally that a "small" component like kinesis streams could take down so much.

Won’t help much. I read that if we cure all types of cancer it will extend average life expectancy by just over a couple of years. Because if not cancer then something else will get you in old age.

>I have no beef with if+for, but a large part of the reason they're "goto tools", if you will, is because industry is slow to assimilate many state-of-the-art ideas, sometimes by as much as 40 years.

For assimilation to happen, the state-of-the-art solution also has to result in a net gain over the existing solution, and the higher the differential in complexity between the two, the bigger that gain has to be.

It sounds like you may be missing some parts of how it works. A "transaction" is just a short string that includes a signature. It's impossible to manipulate or change. Therefore the only adversarial things the WhatsApp bot can do are

1. Not forward the transaction (I can tell relatively quickly by checking the mempool)

2. Doxx me/report me/etc by observing my IP, Whatsapp account name, and what wallet it is connected to.

Besides that, I can put my transactions up on a billboard for all I care.
Guacamole and tailscale make my life so much easier when I’m away from home. Serving up guac from a machine with tailscale / wire guard means I can get to it without exposing it to the internet, or worrying about a home IP changing.
And, these days, "net gain" in an industrial context is typically tied to almost no aspect of the quality of the code, but more to the management of large groups of people, as well as stability and growth of the business.
> you eventually "give up", and clock your 9–5 writing if+for making a fine living, but erroneously pass that off as a mature

This comment sure indicates to me where you most likely are on the curve.

In all seriousness, I think this is considerably off the mark. After enough experience you realize that expressivity and convenience are antipatterns and don't actually simplify things but are harbingers of complexity, bugs, tech debt, even the downfall of organizations and products.

Saying it is all ifs and for-loops is completely true. Everything else, all the abstractions and high level features, are just sugar.

I try to keep a healthy and balanced diet, myself.

> industry is slow to assimilate most state-of-the-art ideas, sometimes by as much as 40 years.

Most of those ideas are terrible. The industry is so incredibly young and has experienced so much change over those 40 years that I have a hard time accepting the notion that the industry is slow to adopt. The reason the old building blocks are still popular is because they are a thin abstraction over how computers work, and ultimately that is at the root of everything we do.
You are talking big businesses here, I've seen people just ask the CEO if they can buy 3 brand new servers and him agreeing, verbally, and the servers arrived next week, and two weeks later were completely setup and were useful.

This lasted for 11 years and only stopped because two of the 5 senior engineers retired and because the company was bought a few weeks earlier.

So again, don't look at this through Silicon Valley lens. Most of the companies in the world have a very different mold compared to SV.

The world population has been increasing by between 1.05% and 2.2% per year over the past 50 years[0]. Remember also that faith in cryptocurrency operates in the same way as the spread of infectious diseases[1], so some previously infected hosts can lose immunity over time and become reinfected.

Able: 28-Day Affirmation Plan
> There is no selection pressure for Covid to become less lethal.

Isn't there though? Say Covid killed within seconds. Then it couldn't spread. The longer the host lives, the more other people it can infect. I would almost say that the opposite of what you wrote is true.
I doubt you might not know what affirmations are. But in case you don't - an affirmation is a simple but powerful statement that helps strengthen the connection between your unconscious mind and your conscious mind. The more you strengthen this connection the more resilient you will be when difficult or challenging circumstances.

Able is not similar to other affirmation apps out there. We offer a 28-day personalized plan based on the survey you are going to take on the onboarding. Each day you will work on your goal to becoming a happier and healthier version of yourself!

If you are interested to try the Premium version that allows you explore all the journeys the app is offering, we would be glad to provide you with a promocode to access them all in the current version for FREE! Just let us know in the comment.
I can explain a few points for a long term view.

Bitcoin is a protocol, primarily, as well as an ecosystem, a unit of account and a new paradigm in digital value transfer. The cryptoeconomic model is to create new coins every 10 minutes until the year 2140. The energy committed to protect the ledger is unmatched, and thus it is the most secure.
8 Million of the 18M coins that exist moved in the last year. I don't think the concentration is quite what people believe. As the years go on, there are less and less large holders. Everyone gets antsy when seeing large swings to their savings.

The development philosophy is one of caution, of incremental and well tested changes. "Only soft forks", as opposed to forced consensus changes by developers (EIP1559 comes mind). Radical changes are rejected and even small upgrades take time to stick. This is a good thing, as the base layer of money needs to be simple, work reliably and be very secure.

I only trust a peer to peer monetary network that I can run myself. Most newer 'next generation' blockchains are for datacenters only. Being able to run a full Bitcoin Core node will remain within the reach of most users for quite some time, hopefully forever.

Inflation is a pressing concern for all countries and people right now. The 'Bitcoin Standard' scenario seems like less of fantasy in 2021. And this is still the beginning, we are quite early!
