> This is essentially a few decades after the fact.

That’s literally 75 years after the fact. Scholar put Mathew between 80 and 110 years after the fact so a century as I correctly pointed.

I understand you don’t like being faced with the fact that the gospels were written with a clear political agenda long after what they depict and that the canon is mostly an exercise in late Roman politics. The fact remains.

Let's not forget that eugenics was not an exclusively right-wing position. Many socialists were pro-eugenics: the Webbs, Shaw, C.P. Snow, Haldane, and many more. Eugenics was widely supported by many academics of all political stripes in the early 20th Century.

This definition includes open faced sandwiches so long as their contents have the appropriate aspect ratio and you hold them via the bread. If you needed two pieces of bread to make a sandwich then that would rule out everything served on a roll. Pizza is an open faced true sandwich, pancakes are not.

That said, just because something has a word in the name doesn't mean it's a subset of that category. Strawberries aren't berries, english muffins aren't muffins, prairie oysters aren't oysters, black pudding isn't pudding, etc.

> Contrary to popular belief, there is generally huge demand spike for USDT when crypto market has flash crashes, not other way around.

This is not contrary to popular belief at all. Tether almost always prints a few billion around large pullbacks, and the cynical view is that this is to stabilize markets by buying the dip.

> More USDT got issued because there was opportunity to make 0.1-0.2% on each new USDT since demand for it was that high (i.e. people were paying real USD to buy USDT at a premium, imagine that).

Uh yeah this is not at all how stablecoin premia get arbed. If you'd like a real answer, I'd be happy to explain. But I get the feeling that you're pretty invested in crypto and just want answers which align with your beliefs.

> anyone not working ends up exploiting others

I think we should keep in mind that what they might be doing at work is exploiting others.

Most of the jobs I've had, I left because once I got to know the inner workings of the company I realized that it wasn't about solving real problems, but instead about justifying the ability to profit from a privileged position.

I don't have a lot of data here, but I'd estimate the percentage of people employed in the full time exploitation of others at about 50%.

Whatever else is true about cryptocurrencies / blockchains, "beyond reproach" is not one of those things; I can't think of much in technology that I've seen come in for so much reproach. Which is fine, I agree with you that nothing should be beyond reproach, but it just isn't true that there is no healthy full throated pushback on these technologies.

Not really, lots of companies are sharing space on charter vessels at the moment, and trunking networks are pretty well developed.

Lots of retailers are doing exactly what this article describes, it’s not just Amazon. In fact, I know a company that only ships c5 containers a day that is renting space on a charter vessel, so you don’t need Amazon-scale to do this.
This makes me think; what if you shorted USDT?

There seems to be almost no scenario where USDT becomes more valuable than the USD, and the worst case is it continues to be worth the same.

But there is a fair probability it becomes worthless, meaning that you gain from it.

While you need to pay premiums in the interim, for something with an indefinite timeframe, that risk seems fairly minor for the potential reward.

While Plato presents it as a principled stand, it remains that Socrate's death was the result of a judicial conviction and thus isn't exactly a voluntary suicide.
That's simply not true. I had three different laptops from 2010 to 2021: an Acer Inspiron (I think that's what it was called), a Dell Latitude, and a Surface Pro 3. All used different chargers. The Surface used Microsoft's proprietary magsafe connector, and the others used different-sized barrel jacks. I currently have a Dell XPS 13 which charges over USB-C.

Oddly, the Acer charger was the same as for an Acer 27" monitor I had, which came in handy once or twice.

I wish I would have partied more in high school and studied more in college. I didn't learn until too late that getting into a good school (at least back in the late 90s) came mostly down to raw intelligence and a bit of luck. The competition wasn't nearly as intense as it is now.

In college, I partied too hard at a time when I really needed to buckle down and improve my study skills. As a result, I dropped out, joined the military, and wound up down a much different life path than my collegiate peers who stayed the course. Things worked out fine in the end, but I feel like I would have had a more personally rewarding path if I would have stayed in school.
My dad would make open face peanut butter and cheddar melts. They were incredibly good. Nobody I've ever told believes me though.
Not an expert in Russian history by any means but I think that the instinct to associate Kievan Rus with Russian (and not necessarily Ukrainian only) history is also due to the fact that the Orthodox faith came to Muscovy Russia via Kiev, where it had been brought by the byzantines, of course.

>AirPods are a niche Apple product, not sure what point you are making with them.

This is such an HN comment, it bothers on the cliche.

Apple has generated more Airpods revenue this year than Nvidia has period. Apple has generated 2x Airpods revenue than ALL of AMD or Square or Spotify. Just Airpods. It's 5% of their revenue (and these are $129 devices competing with $1000+ devices in their portfolio for the revenue pie).

How is a product that generated $12B in revenue in one year niche? I'd take that niche. Literally every person on the street has them in their ears. Imagine a startup with $12B in revenue and >120% YoY growth and margins in the 50%.

I'd argue Airpods might be the second most successful Apple product ever after the iPhone.
Actually I meant you make the "public" e-mail address totally random, like "ksdjfksjlfdjasljhflsk@whatever.com". That address then forwards to "yourname+ksdjfksjlfdjasljhflsk@whatever.com". Then both your client and mail server will know both the "public" part of the address, and who it's supposed to really be delivered to. This enables spam filtering on a specific alias, or killing a specific alias. Additional support would need to be added to handle these features, and also automatically translating replies from your mail client so the From: address continues to be hidden.

This idea mostly already exists in proprietary e-mail relays like Craigslist email addresses, but it would be nice if it were a standard.
I think AirPods by themselves would be a fortune 100 company.

All built-in storage in the phone should be erased as part of the intake process, the minute the phone arrives at the repair center and they take it out of the box.

If microsd cards didn't suck so much, I'd prefer phones to have no built-in storage at all. The Raspberry Pi is nice that way. You have to insert a card in order to use it. Phones could be the same way. Then the phone's RMA instructions would tell you to remove the card before sending the phone in for repairs.

Which is how we forget our mistakes and make them again.

It's not, though, that's just the somewhat circular premise of your argument. Nobody is forgetting this guy. He's on the Nobel Prize site, on Wikipedia, in the scientific literature, etc. Fiddling with a stained glassed window doesn't change any of that. Society changing its mind about whom to honour, how and where is a thing that happens all the time.

The problem is this: Having someone be simultaneously notable for something good and notable for something bad doesn't cancel out and make them notable for nothing.

Installing or removing a stained glass window is not really taking a position on this supposed 'problem'.
widdler is meant to be more of a private wiki. if you want to share a specific tiddlywiki with the world it's as easy as copying the html file to a webserver - it will then be static content (users can edit it locally, but the changes won't be sent back up to the server).

My current use case is: running on a vps and exposing a password protected space for me to jot down various things.

> Then why did this guy have one to begin with?

Because the college wanted to celebrate itself and demonstrate how it has notable alumni. So any alum of any defensible level of notability would have worked here. Nobody looked at the story of Sir Ronald Fisher and decided he need a window somewhere; they looked at the yearbooks of Gonville and Caius and found who could fit on the windows.

If we can at least be honest about that, then we can conclude that the college has a vested interest in claiming that the guy is stained-glass-window-worthy, and therefore the fact that he has a stained-glass window now is not a reliable argument that he ought to have one.

On a related note, always be careful to look at the documents that come with things like stock grants that you may receive in addition to salary. There is frequently this same kind of legal language there which may not have been in the original employment contract you signed.

My current company operates this way. The employment contract was pretty generic and didn't really have much IP-related language in it. But the first stock grant had a document that was quite a lot more specific. Fortunately nothing as onerous as described in this Twitter post, but still, it was good that I read all the documents before accepting the grant.
That would leave approximately no one from more than a century ago and almost no one from the last century, especially if you're going to exclude anyone who might be considered a bigot by modern progressive standards.
> Tether doesn't have any defense

I am not defending Tether, quite the opposite. My only argument is in favor of Circle, and even then admittedly in terms of "Circle at least provides a better sense of legitimacy".

> I get that you want someone to pump your bags.

Sure, I will make a fortune by shilling USDC. /s

Anyway, you are right. I was under the impression that Circle was doing proper audits, and if that is not true, we need more people and exchanges pressuring them to do or to stop using it.
No, what we should be doing is figuring out a way to solve the root cause: that YouTube has this much power in the first place.
Likewise on the welcoming of any bit of research! I ended up in the hospital about a year ago and found out it was the result of Crohn’s (34 years old).

Another hospitalization, countless diet attempts, medications, and biologics, finally found something that worked, other than prednisone.

If there is one thing I realized, it is that the effectiveness of treatments really is dependent on each individual’s biology. Possible foods that trigger me were completely fine for others I had spoken with, and vice versa.

It’s encouraging to see as much research as there is and makes me hopeful not just for myself, but for others with the same condition (many who have it far worse than me).
Your first point is misaimed. They don't just note the historical worldwide rise in refrigeration goes along side a worldwide rise in Chrohn's. They compare the timing for Chrohn's and refrigeration for different demographic groups in different countries and even, if I am reading this correctly, at the level of individuals. The other things you list will not vary in the same way at that level of detail, although one must of course be wary of multiple hypothesis testing, forking paths, etc.
One of the progressive HR departments I'm familiar with recently celebrated Messrs. Sanger and Anthony (Susan B.) either in full knowledge (presumably given they passed over celebrating others they found problematic) or totally ignorant of their histories (which given their sensitivity, seems unlikely). If the latter, then it looks like it could depend on the person whether they are "forgiven" for their sins. Sanger, for those unfamiliar, was a eugenicist.

Also, mr Sharpton is known for his past history of bigotry and the great majority of people pretend he never uttered bigoted words is not only on TV but is celebrated as a civil rights leader.

All selective breeding is eugenics. If you believe in aborting babies with Down Syndrome, you're a eugenicist. If you believe in choosing a sperm donor based on genetic fitness, you're a eugenicist. If you selectively breed cattle, or your dog, you're a eugenicist. There are rare but debilitating genetic diseases that can arise from mixed race procreation as anyone who's watched Discovery Health may know. Before people judge, they should study the topic and motivation thoroughly. Eugenics does not means racist or genocide, nor does it mean a eugenicist is motivate by hatred or racism. The word for that is racist. There's a whole field of Genetic Counseling that exists for the purpose of eugenics and catering to the biological health of offspring that have emerged since our science has advanced enough to understand the role genes play in biological, physical and mental health. Read up on the topic. It's quite revealing.
Yes, I’m cool with that.

Good paper. If true I wonder how it could be combatted effectively. It's hard to do without refrigeration. Perhaps its related mainly to fast food, where the consistent refrigeration is less sure.

CD has also been associated with Mycobacterium paratuberculosis, because that is implicated in the similar Jahne's disease in cattle and sheep: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4894645/

Lastly, I also wonder if refrigeration has a role to play in Multiple Sclerosis. It also has strong relations with modern lifestyle and latitude (temperature). The suspect virus in the MS case seems to be https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epstein%E2%80%93Barr_virus aka mononucleosis / glandular fever.
Temporal correlations are a family of things, since there are many degrees of freedom to choose what to compare with what.

A very simple test is the "Granger Causality", which tests whether one timeline significantly predicts another one. You can formulate more complex models such as time series a predicting b with a certain lag.

Ultimately, the idea is most often to remove unrelated factors (such as control variables, seasonality, self-influence i.e. autoregression) and then measure how well one series at t(0) predicts another one at t(1), while optionally doing some sort of hyperparameter optimization for the lag (i.e. determine which lag works best).
Sure. Cloudflare can give away free services as a marketing effort. AWS gives away 1TB/month of cloudfront bandwidth, 1 million lambda calls per month, 1 million SNS notification per month, 25GB of DynamoDB capacity, 1 million Simple Queue queries per month and plenty more. So does google.

But what, again, is the pricing of cloudflare's "competitive CDN offering"? That seriously all I am asking for.

If you are going to go on about pricing (cloudflare does) have the courtesy to list yours publicly and don't have gag orders in your agreements.

The context of all of this is Amazon supposedly obfuscating their pricing to waste budgets. With cloudflare, you can't even FIND their pricing and will need to talk with a salesperson.

Anyways, for those stumbling around with this, minimum I've heard cloudflare doing is $24K per year on their paid stuff, and then they added Argo at around 10 cents per GB in the pay as you go offerings. Cloudfront is 2 to 9 cents per GB, google 2 to 10, fastly is around 8 to 12 cents, keycdn 4 cents etc. Not claiming AWS or Google are the cheapest, but pricing is pretty darn upfront.

Also have heard of folks getting busted by cloudflare if too many folks in asia/non-USA use the service, this seems far fetched, but AWS does charge differently by geo area so not sure if cloudflare has some rules like that tucked away.

Your formulation leads to "freedom is obedience," which is absurd. Freedom is about being able to do what you want. It's one thing to say that absolute freedom is not ideal, it's another to say that restriction of choice increases freedom.
