You are bending words like regulation and tax to fit your preconceptions in way that disagrees with how other people understand them.

Also, a simple tax can not solve the tragedy of the commons for fisheries as long as fishing will remain profitable. Nash equilibrium involving full exploitation remains as long as there is a profit. Fish are not an externality that can be reduced to avoid taxation, but the objective. While cap on fishing will work.
No, I'm using it to mean an untestable (or in this case untested) narrative explanation for a biological phenomenon. There are several prevalent narratives around the evolution of microbes that are taken to be true because they tell a nice narrative story with very little empirical backing, and even less information on things like time frames.

"Structures that are unused but require resources are selected against" for example, is something that feels correct, but isn't necessarily true because resistance genes don't exist in isolation.

"Community MRSA will lose out to MSSA because of an absence of selective pressure" kept being trotted out because it fit narratively well beyond when it was becoming apparent that wasn't true.
Actually there are empty plots bought and sold all the time.
There is a huge difference between reading and writing C. C is very easy to read, but it's quite difficult to write (secure, portable, performant) C. Code is typically read a lot more than it is written. I haven't written a single line of code in torvalds/linux.git but read probably tens of thousands of lines of Linux kernel code over the years. I'd wager that for every kernel developer there are at least 10 people reading the code to figure out how something works, or how it broke.

C makes many questions when reading trivial to answer, questions like "how do I get here?", "where does it go?", "what is this type?" and "what does this code do?" are generally very easy to answer without expert-level C knowledge. From what I've seen, that's not true for rust.
> programming as a job has become very laborious and boring, processes driven and needlessly complex

It's been mostly my experience, yes. I think it's the inevitable outcome of droves of people getting into software companies because of the salaries, and pushing mostly unnecessary processes and red tape onto devs. These days I barely have freedom to touch a staging DB, and I don't even work in a large org.
And anti-virus and VPN industry problems don't pose a systemic risk to the Western economy (I say Western because China etc. have cracked down on cryptocurrency schemes).

I think this is where the question of "what is a journalist?" comes into play. What legitimate journalism has Project Veritas done?

Wikipedia makes them seem more like a political hit squad than legitimate journalists:

== Project Veritas unsuccessfully attempted to mislead The Washington Post into publishing false information about the Roy Moore sexual misconduct allegations in 2017; the Post won a Pulitzer Prize after uncovering the operation.==

== In 2020, The New York Times published an exposé detailing Project Veritas' use of spies recruited by Erik Prince, to infiltrate "Democratic congressional campaigns, labor organizations and other groups considered hostile to the Trump agenda".==

I mean - companies are expected to follow the rules of the country they operate in.

I guess with tech companies - "operate in" is a little unclear. Someone in China can visit your website (assuming it's not blocked by TGF) - and it might be very difficult for you to know (they could be using some Proxy or VPN).

In Apple's case - they literally have stores selling phones in China. AFAIK, that's how most people get their iPhones in China.

In the US - you have to pass all kind of FTC obstacles to sell a device. In China & other countries - it's the same way.

It seems like an overstep for the US to say - "We get to say what devices are available in every country." It also seems like an overstep for the US to say China can't have a Great Firewall and Censorship even if that's extremely "un-American". Us having free speech is extremely "un-CCP" - but for the time being - we've still got it [=

I'd argue the second part is unnecessary. If country A jails more (percentage) journalists than country B, you know that either country A is trying to control them, or that country A has more criminal journalists. At least that gives you another lead to look into.

From what I understood, it will be fixed immediately, through an update to Microsoft Teams. The underlying cause (which can be considered a security fix, since it should not be possible for a non-privileged application to interfere with that mechanism) will be fixed by the monthly Android security update.
> Online hate speech has become a pressing issue worldwide

Online hate speech is a pretext for people that want to influence online content. Other people can pretty much just withdraw from it.

That said, counter speech is very much welcome instead of surveillance and prosecuting Twitter comments, which is unacceptable in my opinion.

But the sentiment is not at all irrational for some people. We currently have a system where it is more important to satisfy the feelings of an incompetent "elite" that has to prove to itself that it is cosmopolitan, but does this purely on the backs of others. That is pretty expensive for many people and having subeducated "academics" calling them privileged is the last straw.

It is a problem with the head. There is nearly no exception. I am anticipating this empathy and how it looks like...
This should be unflagged. It's open, honest, and well-argued, even if you disagree with it.
Neither does crypto.
May be an oversimplification but I have a group iMessage on my phone with a handful of college buddies. It works pretty much perfectly as a private social network.
Whether load balancer can or can-not tell the nodes apart depends on load balancer and method you use to expose your service to it, as well as what kind of networking setup you use (i.e. is pod networking sensibly exposed to load balancer or ... weirdly)

Each "Service" object provides (by default, can be disabled) load-balanced IP address that by default uses kube-proxy as you described, a DNS A record pointing to said address, DNS SRV records pointing to actual direct connections (whether NodePorts or PodIP/port combinations) plus API access to get the same data out.

There are even replacement kube-proxy implementations that route everything through F5 load balancer boxes, but they are less known.
That's the takeaway from "Betting on Zero". I kept watching to see the moment when the Ponzi scheme falls apart and Bill Ackman comes out vindicated, and it never came. It really is the case that "The market can stay irrational longer then you can stay solvent". There might be an escape velocity of irrationality where a Ponzi schemes can become legitimate.
An artificially low interest loan is a gift. Banks could have raised the same funds on the open market - they would have just had to pay for it. But rather than conservative cash holders being rewarded for better preparation, the Fed stepped in and made the overextended investment banks the winners instead. It's correct to say it was a gift.
Yes, I buy drugs with monero all the time. Quick, anonymous, and low transaction fees.
> Am I supposed to believe that all these media cover current politics objectively, if they've enthusiastically cooperated with the CIA in the past?

Yes, that would be the point. Maybe more to the point: if you don't believe, you should believe the CIA has the power to make belief in other people. Moreover if you express non-belief you will be labeled a conspiracy theorist by society and shunned.
The other big company in this space is also mentioned in the article - Nexo. I wonder if their case is the same. They are very big in my country in hiring, ads, etc. And showed up from nowhere...

> Honestly after I learned that the majority of Kubernetes nodes just proxy traffic between each other using iptables and that a load balancer can't tell the nodes apart (ones where your app lives vs ones that will proxy connection to your app) I got really worried about any kind of persistent connection in k8s land.

There can be a difference, if your LoadBalancer-type service integration is well implemented. The externalTrafficPolicy knob determines whether all nodes should attract traffic from outside or only nodes that contain pods backing this service. For example, metallb (which attracts traffic by /32 BGP announcements to given external peers) will do this correctly.

Within the cluster itself, only nodes which have pods backing a given service will be part of the iptables/ipvs/... Pod->Service->Pod mesh, so you won't end up with scenic routes anyway. Same for Pod->Pod networking, as these addresses are already clustered by host node.
It's a trust/cartel thing. Unions sometimes set up such schemes for the same basic reasons that companies sometimes do.

Interesting how this is being promoted.
Google's curation of the Play Store, while protecting their own economic interests, feels a bit like a dark pattern. The fact that adding " n" to most keywords prompts " no ads" in the suggestions shows how popular this is.

If I search for "tuner", I get two sponsored results first, then five ad-containing results with average 4.4 rating, then an ad-free app with 4.9 stars.

My preference would be searching by rating with a minimum number of installs. Even using the 4.5+ filter seems to be the quickest way to find completely ad-free apps. But, what really works best (but never quickest) for many apps is to find an APK somewhere else, like Github.

That's fine. China SHOULD NOT have the option to tell American companies that they need to not have free speech in the rest of the world because China doesn't have free speech.

If that starts happening - American companies need to be FORCED to exit the Chinese market and keep free speech. Otherwise, it's a simple P&L calculation - and China will win. Apple is not going to lose 20% of their global sales because they block some Wikipedia articles about Tiananmen Square. But if China cuts off their sales because they won't - they would lose 20% of their sales. If we allow companies to go down this path - the entire world will end up censored pretty quickly.

Just as China does not care about American law - US companies don't give a shit about human rights. They just give a shit about P&L.

The only current usecase I'm aware of for crypto as a medium of exchange is for criminals, i.e. ransomware / extortion / etc.
That comedic situation is exactly the reason your insurance works like that. The insurance company knows it's in your interest to burn it down and sell the empty plot so they only insure it in a way that prevents that.
Imagine not living long enough to ever afford a house.

You can't by a tear down in Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, etc for under a million. Houses rise in value at a rate of about $$1500-2000 a week (for years) while wages have been stagnant for decades. You could have bought a house for 450k-500k in 2005 and sold today for 2 million. I've seen condos that were 175k in 2006 sell for 850k today. You can't even buy a shack out side the city for less than 500k and most are going for over a million or two.

Average price of a house in Toronto will be over 4-5 million in the next decade while the average wage will still be 45-65k.
It's the viewers that need the introspection, CNN is just selling what they want to hear. I speak as someone who has natural tendencies to be easily mislead by media hype and generally takes the rage bait.
Yes! But, you do get some bonuses with cryptocurrencies. Access to credit, ability to build an account history, etc. At the very least cryptocurrencies are a superset to M-Pesa etc. Plus some other geo-political perks like not being centralised around Chinese technologies (M-Pesa might not be, but its competitors are & underlying mobile tech is predominately Chinese).
Right up to the grand closing.

Yeah, but I can also usually tell an article is bad in a 15 second skim. Videos aren't always so generous.
Videos where you see that happening is usually because the drywall was built on studs spacing more than 16" on center. 16" on center is pretty universal and it takes a significantly larger amount of directed force to create such holes.

For what it's worth, it's not uncommon for Georgists to also favor extraction taxes for natural resources like gold.
Japan has one very important and unusual challenge: very high risk of earthquakes.

Not only does this mean that it's more likely overall for a house to simply fall down, it means that the codes attempting to make that less likely are still evolving, as we improve both our understanding of what works well and our building methods and materials.

Attempting to generalize the situation in Japan to the rest of the world is therefore going to be somewhat unhelpful.

As for cars, they are also not particularly comparable, for similar reasons: we've been building houses for literally thousands of years, and while we certainly have more options than we used to, some of which are unquestionably improvements on the old, the fundamentals of what it takes to build a sturdy, safe house haven't changed much. Meanwhile, it's only been just over 100 years since the car was invented, they're much more fundamentally a piece of technology than a house is, and we're currently in a period of rapid improvement in various kinds of safety technologies within them. Again, attempting to compare is unhelpful.
typo fix above: become -> because
I'm still new to Clubhouse and trying to understand the appeal. Is Clubhouse basically like the old radio call-in talk radio (live talk radio shows) where you basically can have your audience "call in" and join the hosts? Is it anything more than live podcasting with an audience that can also be made to be guests and you get their reactions? Am I missing something? Or is Clubhouse more of a free-for-all group voice chat with no real leader, like just getting onto a Discord channel and talking? Clue me in!

Some trivia about plant "intelligence":

1. Venus fly traps detect if an insect is on the trap and close the trap. So far so known, but less people know that the trap will open again after a while if there is no movement detected (ie if a stone fell in). Likewise digestion will only start if there is movement detected for a while.

2. Mast years (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mast_(botany)) ... somehow trees communicate when to produce seeds on mass ... from what I gathered we have no idea how they do that.
Kobo’s Elipsa and Sage e-readers are better for reading than writing
I remember that it used to scroll horizontally on mobile and was actually surprised when I saw the GP comment was wrapped even though it was formatted as code. Not sure whether I haven’t noticed the change before or if I saw it but forgot about it – either way I think it must be a relatively recent change.

I still prefer code formatting to only be used for code snippets, commands and command outputs though.

For quotes I like leading each quoted paragraph with a “>” sign and a space. Like we do in plain text emails. Same kind of thing that they talk about in http://catb.org/jargon/html/email-style.html

I sometimes liken cryptocurrency coins and tokens to casino chips. They have no intrinsic value, but they do serve a purpose for some people, and drive a multi-billion industry. There are even some people who collect casino chips (exonumismatists). This analogy also suggests that they might not ever completely go away.
The local cost of construction per sq ft to replace an improvement is reasonably easy to arrive at. So is the annual cost to maintain an improvement. Then simply subtract from purchase price. The toughest part is making sure the process isn't corrupted and some people get an assessed land value far less or more than it is actually worth.

It likely wouldn't work with real estate, but low cost motorsports has a simple solution to this problem. If there is a $1000 limit on the value of the car before all the standard safety additions, then the owner has to accept $1000 from any other competitor for the car. This massively disincentives anyone from undervaluing their race car as it will simply be purchased for way less than it's worth. In real estate this would just result in wealthy people snapping up anything they thought was even slightly undervalued. Maybe value purchases can only happen when challenging a valuation with strong court-backed protection for the owner to ensure the valuation has been applied justly.
If we are going full Georgist, yes, even the government would pay taxes on its own land, which includes the land for roads and railways.

Turborepo: High-performance build system for JavaScript and TypeScript codebases
I think a few posts here are conflating crypto currencies, NFTs and crypto lending in stablecoin for "too good to be true" interest.

The article focuses on the last point, which rings absolutely true to me. Offering huge yields (> 8%) while removing the crypto volatility (dealing in stablecoin, effectively making all transactions and amounts look, to an external user, as if made with regular bank in dollars) cannot exist for a long time.

Either something fishy is going on, or there is a large risk that people using this schema are not aware of (e.g., "stablecoin yields if bitcoin stays in this band, otherwise you lose some money"), or both. My 2c.
