> if a person is interested in problem X and has personal projects around X, and the company hires them because if that, do they really expect that person to stop being interested in X on a personal level?

This is exactly where you start entering a problematic grey area. The employer hired and pays the employee exactly to gain access and make use of that knowledge and interest and pays a wage exactly for that. And at the same time, the employee wants to continue working on their open source project, giving away exactly that knowledge for free, which potentially diminishes the value that the employer pays for. There’s a fundamental tension here which is difficult to resolve. Open communication helps, explicitly spelling out the boundaries as well. It’s impossible to tell from the tweet which side failed here to what degree, but getting a sign-off from management in edge cases is definitely a good idea.
Oh c'mon, be reasonable!

That sounds like an inside job.

They claim to be operating from the Cayman Islands and are not offering services to US persons, since they are not registered with the US SEC. However, it's actually run by someone from New Jersey.
> And don't even get me started on Tether ( who conveniently printed another billion after the liquidations were done: https://twitter.com/whale_alert/status/1467155858228494353 )

Tether is one of the most maddening scams out there.

Who really believes that Tether had a cool billion dollars conveniently transferred into their banks so they could mint a huge chunk of synthetic dollars to inject into the cryptocurrency world? That's a suspiciously round number for such a large transaction.

Yet people who are heavily invested in crypto will find any excuse to ignore the absurdity of this whole operation, mostly because admitting the Tether problem would be admitting that the value of cryptocurrency everywhere is artificially inflated.
It's not too odd that some people don't want to look at gore. For most of us corpses sterilize, become like objects the older they get, but I don't why that's anything but arbitrary.

Aboriginal Australians and Torres Strait Islanders get warnings that what they're about to view may contain depictions of people that have died. Not depictions of dead people, but depictions of people who have died since they were filmed or had their picture taken.

Yes, I think (maybe) the reason they use perlin noise is because it’s fast. I’m saying have an actual loading screen when you go to a new area and spend some CPU cycles doing advanced plate tectonics or whatever.
Not only that - the most noxious and tragic consequence of the whole Woke movement is that it has positively energized the right (and caused many moderates to tilt more strongly right), by basically validating every negative trope and stereotype they've every had about the politically correct social justice movement. In fact it's practically given them a whole new raison d'être and a lease on continued political life, without which they might be more or less on the ropes (or at least in significantly greater danger of waning), given the objective failings of their ideology, as such.

On top of, as the article dissects so well, fomenting distrust, discord and cynicism within the left-wing spectrum itself. Wokeness hasn't merely "split" the left; it has essentially cleaved it into two mutually mistrustful camps, to an extent I've never observed my politically aware lifetime.
Fair enough, I did use a circular argument example unintentionally, my bad. But yeah, I agree with you - I wouldn't use wallets for auth really unless I'm making a web3 app. You *can* use this authentication scheme for other sites if you wanted, but you're right in the fact that the question is "Why?" Your target audience isn't going to have a wallet, why use it for authentication? Unless we reach the point where more browsers have native wallets built in, but even then, I'm not sure I'd want to do it for a traditional web app. Even though I find it cool personally that I can auth in this manner, if the target audience for the service has no idea how to use it, then it's not a good idea.

And I just wanted to say that I personally don't think the whole web will transition to this model, despite me working in the field. The current web isn't really going anywhere, I don't really have pipedreams of everything under the sun getting decentralized, but what I see is the potential for creators to make something cool and it's a neat emerging field to explore as a developer.

And one more time, just because I mentioned it in the first post, ETH is ridiculously expensive right now, but there are alternatives. It's awful for anything other than pretty minor distributed computing currently. There are some really neat projects out there that may be able to get around this by using off-chain distributed computing on ETH, there is a product that I've been meaning to test out as a dev but haven't had the chance yet as I've been focusing in learning the Solana ecosystem for the past few months instead of Ethereum. But it's an emerging space and I think we'll continue to see a lot of innovations over the years; even in the past 2 years we've seen a huge influx of innovative projects.

> Now you say "yeah, auth isn't any better but you might as well do it this way given that your web3 service is using ETH for whatever other hypothetical thing."

Edit - And I did want to reply to this actually. The value I find in this as an authentication method is it does make it incredibly easy as a developer to integrate. I've worked with SSO before that's also super easy as well, however that relies on centralization of trust in an entity such as Google. Even if it is just minor, I do like the idea of being able to provide authentication that:

1. I don't need to store passwords or handle them whatsoever

2. I don't need to rely on an external arbiter of truth such as google / facebook

I have used webauthn a bit, not as a dev, but as an end user and it's really awesome. I would imagine it's not terribly difficult to integrate and would satisfy both of those above desires for my own projects. But yes, in crypto world, might as well use the keypairs everyone already has.
ObXkcd: https://xkcd.com/488/
I'm not sure you fully got the point I was trying to make.

Despite all the claims from crypto advocates about crypto freeing us from existing power structures, I think the truth is actually the opposite.

Crypto entrenches existing power structures, where capital = power. You can see that formalized in various decentralized organizations where votes are allocated by token count, or in other words, more capital means more power.

Crypto is an effort to preserve the status quo, not to change it. If the "web3" were to succeed, moneyed interests would still be controlling everything, with the only change being that some early crypto adopters would also rise to their level. Crypto advocacy comes down to an attempt to rise to the ruling class by serving it, not to topple it.

That's an internal inflation effect, one that appears to have been amply priced into the current value of Bitcoin. Which is perfectly reasonable, since everybody can see that the future quantity of Bitcoin is fixed and/or diminishing, thanks to lossage.

In other words: like the US economy, Bitcoin can have both inflationary and deflationary forces internally. But the overall economic picture of Bitcoin is intrinsically deflationary.

Don't get invested in subreddits. Most of the original mods that cared about their subreddit are gone or have put modlords in their place. A modlord being one that lord's over many subreddits, typically for a financial or social gain, of which you will be banned at the sign of any criticism.

Reddit corporate does not enforce their rules on subreddit mods. It's a show. You can have mods harass you and they'll do nothing. Only go into it with the expectation that this is like any other image board. Make new accounts, use vpn's, else a mod will cry and reddit corporate will treat you you as a felon regardless.
Depression is a chronic, and sometimes terminal, illness.
It is already disrupting the internet as we know it… NFTs, DAOs, trustless contracts, peer-to-peer payments w/o reliance on a central payment processors — these are all new concepts that the web hasn’t seen operating at a global scale, accessible with little more than a thin layer of JS and a browser extension.

Perhaps this disruption won’t last, or won’t succeed in replacing traditional systems, but obviously in 2021 it has succeeded in capturing a lot of interest & discussion (and a lot of $ value, too).
Solaris didn't (still doesn't?) allow processes to allocate memory when none was available. If a program called malloc() and RAM+swap was full, the call returned an error (and ideally the program handled it). IIRC, the BSDs are the same way as well by default.

Linux is the main Unix-y system that allows over-allocation.
> Does Traefik autodetect the containers from the Docker socket?

Given the overall expertise you've demonstrated here on HN time and again, I'm sure you are aware of this but a general warning to everyone else reading this might be in order: Careful with exposing the Docker socket to Traefik, see https://github.com/traefik/traefik/issues/4174

Because when you study complex systems and how they fail from famous examples (Chernobyl, Challenger, Air France Flight 447, etc. etc.) to (for me) personal experience addressing software systems downtimes... what you find is single causes are quite rare. What you do usually find is a dozen independent things, all of which need to be fixed, any of which if it were fixed would have prevented the failure.

Attributing "cause" to any of them is an exercise in preference of importance. Do you pick the last one that happened? Do you decide which one had the biggest impact? Do you pick the one that was the easiest/hardest to find? It's a silly exercise to pick one. You will find that the failure was caused by a concert of things working together, the only reason to pick one is a personal preference for there to be one thing to pick.

A common pattern is the "straw that broke the camel's back" in a relatively small aberration or mistake which pushes a system from a working state into a phase change to a non-working one revealing all sorts of structural deficiencies. Do you say that last straw was the "cause"? Only if you're particularly short sighted.

I've experienced this personally many times. No we didn't have 3 days of downtime because there was a 5% performance regression in the last release, we had 3 days of downtime because systems A through G were constantly on the edge of collapse and nobody noticed until all hell broke loose.

But my bank still does 2 Factor Authentication only through SMS and doesn’t even offer some kind of Authentication App as an option.

Additionally they have strict password rules in place, a basically broken password reset form, and a comically short maximum password limit.

Some amount of the “hot money” — maybe not millions, that’s too unwieldy, but a good amount — can be used to purchase closed-loop gift cards, on websites that allow purchase with BTC. If those cards are from major retailers like Target or Amazon or Walmart, the cards can be used to buy merchandise which is in demand and holds its value well, most likely electronics, which can then be sold on eBay or through Buyers’ Clubs for most of their retail price. But that’s a lot of work and a lot of inventory to manage, so it’s more likely the gift cards would then be sold for about 70-80% of their face value, usually on a site like Raise.com or GiftCardGranny or similar, or even at the automated kiosks that are starting to be available in some chain stores, with the laundered funds being delivered by ACH a few weeks later.

1. What possible reason could they have to lie about it?

2. It’s likely that this information could be confirmed in other publicly available information.

3. They were the beneficiaries of a gigantic positive shock to demand for their services in the last half of 2020 which continued through 2021 so the number seems very plausible to me.

I think Mojang should reconsider its objection to adding an auto-crafting system into the game. There are legitimate concerns that, if it was too easy, it would make one of the defining aspects of the game obsolete, but I think it could be balanced so that users wouldn't bother doing it for simple items like pickaxes.

As an example, the "auto-crafter" block could be powered by chorus fruit, which means the player would not have access to it until after beating the Ender Dragon. That would also mean that truly automating crafting would also require an automated chorus fruit farm, which would give the system a minimum space requirement.
There's also no biological reason 8 billion individual hominids evolved under different conditions and upbringing and nutrition should share the same intellectual capacity, any more than all 8 billion would be equally good sprinters or have the same skin tone or oxygen capacity.

The brain is just another blob of flesh, and what we understand of its capacities suggest it's at least partially inheritable. You'd have to ignore a lot of evidence to believe that all humans are intellectually equal. If there is variation and there is mutation and there are different pockets of populations, there are going to be evolutionary differences between them. Then in terms of sexual selection, we'd have to believe that intelligence as a criterion for mate selection is equally important across cultures, and also impacts offspring fitness the same across all cultures and environments -- vs, say, disease or sun resistance in the tropics. Otherwise, differences would naturally arise over time.

The tricky part is coming up a way to define, much less measure, "intellectual capacity" across different cultures and ways of knowing. IQ tests are pretty biased and arguably a useless measure of evolutionary fitness in many human cultures. Even if you could create the perfect cross-cultural IQ definition and test, administering and collecting such a thing would be nearly impossible in a world where many countries don't even have proper birth records or thorough population censuses (even a basic count, without in-depth testing).

We already know that, within the upper and lower bounds, there can be great variations of "intelligence" WITHIN populations group, as well as smaller differences between them. But we lack the methodology and cultural transparency to be able to accurately measure whether the cross-cultural error bars fall within the intracultural ones. That's not for lack of trying, mind you... many careers have either risen to infamy or else have been destroyed for daring to suggest such things.

In other words, it's not that all humans are equal, it's that we're SO diverse it's hard to group us into neat little groups, whether by race, ancestry, skin color, intelligence, or any other genetic factor. Because the underlying genes themselves don't work that way. They're always changing and competing.

The principles of egalitarianism are a cultural ideal (not shared by much of the world, mind you), not necessarily scientific observations. The scientific input to the ideal, if anything, is not that "the are no differences between groups" but "there are so many differences that these groupings don't really make sense; there are a million other equally valid groupings".

Does anyone have a neutral example? All the examples I have of military people who are in or adjacent to this part of Amazon have been disastrous. Full of themselves and not particularly high performance.

In my experience, ex military people are just like any other ex government office people. Mostly afraid to be known as having made mistakes, a bit too cocksure, and leaning on their “when I was at X”.

Maybe it’s different in different sub sections of the armed services. However, the local characteristics make sense considering the environment they were in (I only know two combat veterans). After all, similar mistakes lead to the Navy routinely bashing ships into each other.

I think it’s likely that the rubber meets the road very little in the US armed forces. Perhaps the people experienced in that have different characteristics.
This makes no sense. With US involvement, Taiwan and South Korea become proxy wars with China. Without us, they become regional conflicts affecting a few million people, not WW3.

With US involvement, those conflicts never happen. Hence why they're not happening now.

After a hypothetical Taiwan annexation, Okinawa is next. The PRC have made their claims clear. This is the bloodshed the US is preventing.

You may be fine with the idea of millions dying because you hate America or whatever. I'm not. Also the fact you think I was alluding to the US allies nuking each other following an American withdrawal shows you really don't understand the situation there at all.

Common and property law rely on locating the assets and the owner and then establishing jurisdiction to sanction and recover the assets.

Decade old best practices for using crypto assets circumvents all of this. Ignoring the best practices leads to the assets being seized in the first place as well as persecution of the thief.

Using the best practices prevents seizure from an independent private thief or the state actor thief, so you see its not even about the government and its inflated sense of relevance.
