Such is the times we live in. The world is literly burning down, and taking out the coral and oceans with it and there will still be people citing the doctrine of Resource extracting industries that they are not to blame.

If you think crypto is a bubble, then the resource game was the first of its kind. Promise of riches for all that end up getting funneled into the pockets of a few at the expense of all others is the name of progress.

The largest most profitable companies in this world exploit nature & poor communities, turning them into money and influence with alarming efficency.

Because often the response to claims like the one I made is to just hand wave it away as some kind of Armageddon situation. But it doesn't have to be. The USSR and the modern day CCP operate in an environment where certain levels of criminality are virtuous, but things are not so draconian or suppressive as the environment you state.
They’re pretty variable depending on your ear shape. For me the pros are the only option since the others fall out immediately (same for mkbhd).
You are forgetting Azure, which is much bigger than GCP.
The car is supposed to yield to pedestrian traffic. Which usually means slowly inching towards the walkers in an intimidating manner if they don’t hurry it up.
Sorry, I should have been clearer. The new benchmark data does not look like it is influenced by the language in a noticeable way (since we see 5x or 10x differences in the mean even when using the same language, and which provider is faster or slower depends on which location you measure at).

But it's very possible the old data may have been influenced by the language. That's not very interesting, though: as Fastly said, it's just beta performance. And anyhow this is a benchmark with almost no CPU work anyhow.
TL;DR characterizing the situation as mud-slinging seemed way off key from a disinvested party's perspective. Your mileage may vary, there's no absolutes, and you certainly have enough experience in the industry and being in the public eye that generic advice isn't necessarily valuable here, as our friend points out.

To your point, maybe it is a problem.

Who knows. Life is messy, and pitching absolutes that you pretend are clear to everyone else in order to intensify criticism of a person for having any thought at all, actually only makes it harder to everyone else. (this is response to our friend here, not you)
Yes, thanks for your concern but I do know what I'm doing.

Most days I wouldn't post a comment like the one above.

This was a bit of a "fuck it, just this once" moment and I'm not proud of it, but I stand behind what I said and don't feel the need to delete it.
Certainly. But if one is going to argue about the value proposition of Web3, it may not be insane to postulate that in the future a large % of the world will live under regimes where the ability to interact with others illegally will be a strong value prop. (Not just financially, but in terms of speech, etc.)
For additional context to my Canadian friends, it's not actually legal in the US. Various states have banned state and local law enforcement from enforcing the federal law.

Since it's still illegal federally, dispensaries can't use banks as their funds could be seized without a trial, and merchant services (credit/debit network access) can't offer services to those businesses as it would be aiding in a felony.
Yeah, it's so annoying. I always strip the mobile subdomain when I post links to wikipedia.
This is the basic idea behind the "lean startup" methodology. Seed VCs are totally on board with this strategy.
Fair enough, but people don't need a statistic to care about the risks of car accidents; people are averse to them.

I have ran a node for years. I gave up running exit nodes because of mentioned abuse. It is very easy to run non exit nodes.
I don’t know that juries are a paragon of a great system. The joke is juries select for those who are too dumb to get out of jury duty. (Yes, I know many people do so out of civic duty, but that’s to the same point of military service)

I think you underestimate the effect of a draft on unit morale. Units can become more undisciplined because commanders have limited recourse for transgressions and people dont want to be there in the first place. Imagine if you and your coworkers were uprooted to perform some difficult, manual, potentially life threatening task. Not by choice, but by conscription; what do you think organizational morale (and productivity) would be like? I’d much rather be with people who chose that path.

>I just think the problems should have been attributed to the war being fought and not the fact of the draft.

And yet you recognize the premium Western cultures put on personal agency. The irony of your above statement is that in a “popular and just” war (if such a thing exists), there’s no need for a draft because ranks will be filled with volunteers. If you’re old enough, you probably remember the long lines at recruiting centers on Sept. 12, 2001.
Yeeesh. Idk if it was intended that way, but this comes off very victim-blamey. So let's get an alternate take:

80% at night - drivers should be forced to slow down at night. They can't see and avoid pedestrians as well.

33% involve a drunk pedestrian - the implication of this is that without constant vigilance, your safety is in great danger. This agrees strongly with the "20% are elderly" stat. You ability as an able-bodied person to actively avoid cars is the only thing keeping you alive.
Look at my original example. The JSON punctuation just muddled the text format without adding any additional value. The point of JSON is the (very limited) type system, nested schema, and heterogeneous format (if array A has two elements B and C, they don’t need to be the same type). None of that seems applicable to what you want out of a UNIX utility.
Do we know that they're just using ARM cores without any custom work? Do we know this isn't similar to a "cloud M1" in terms of design work?

No, it reads mildly anti-fastly. I think I assumed you'd be talking to management about the tos since you weren't aware of it.
The youtube terms of service say that filing a false claim isn't protected and you can be sued by the creator. Being demonitized means ads are still shown over your content, but the revenue goes to the party making the fraudulent claim, so probably billions of dollars have been stolen cumulatively. Yet somehow we never hear of people actually suing to recover damages, presumable because of significant expense and legal risk.

This is an opportunity for a law firm of the future to automate away as much of the boilerplate as possible, amortize costs, and make it feasible for people to recover their money from these criminals. It might also fix the rampant abuse of contentid systems by big media companies if they are constantly on the hook for expensive legal fees.
No, that is a necessary but insufficient condition to come up with Web3. Web3 also requires the concept put forward by Ethereum of having an instruction set one can pay to run on chain. That would have probably been thought up and deployed independently from Bitcoin's price action. But both probably were necessary to provide sufficient foundational momentum to building things like DeFi.
After all this, you're saying the exact same thing I did?

Nice, thanks. Yeah, the few crypto events I had were thankfully much simpler and easily handled in re: taxes, so this was always an open question for me.
> I'm sure most people will agree. After it has happened. Then it's too late. Untill it happens it is definitely an externality to most.

Wow, that's a pretty negative belief about human nature. IME, everyone I know is concerned and serious about it before it happens, though certainly they take more risks beforehand and of course have a much stronger response after something happens (or even after a close call).
Wikipedia says

> Since 1979, the litre may exceptionally be written using either an uppercase "L" or a lowercase "l", a decision prompted by the similarity of the lowercase letter "l" to the numeral "1", especially with certain typefaces or English-style handwriting. The American NIST recommends that within the United States "L" be used rather than "l".

In European measurement contexts I've sometimes seen ℓ (with a script l), but I'm not sure I've seen plain l. (However, I live in the U.S. and might not have as much exposure to European references to liters.)
For many years now Bitcoin has been generally viewed by a large consensus to be a low throughput store of value, akin to digital gold. Many disagree with this ofc but it is a pretty mainstream view.
COVID is the disease, coronavirus is the pathogen.
I mean there’s very little you’ll find as an official spokesperson for Bitcoin but yeah, the dream of on-chain transactions being used for anything other than a funny speculative asset is pretty much gone.

It’s actually kinda crazy in a “voting yourself money” kinda way. Because as long as people believe that BTC should always increase in value then in the long run the returns should gravitate toward something like the weighted average worldwide inflation rate.

The downside of course is that unlike normal investments they don’t spur the real life economic growth necessary to sustain that inflation.
But how exactly do they "prove they created it"? The art itself is not stored in the blockchain, just a pointer to it (NFT), which means anybody can create that pointer.

This is exactly the same fundamental oracle problem as that discussed in the article: trustlessness etc applies only within the sandbox, not to anything outside it.

They aren’t even comparable. Sony’s being over ear design cancels noise way better, but Pro’s are much more practical for sleep and calls.
I listened to it about 3 mins in the past and that put me off listening to all D&D podcasts forever. Maybe I should give it another shot and listen for a full episode.

I don't know, it feels like the D&D movie (2000) where it's pandering to nerds. When I'd prefer something closer to Order of the Stick, in that it tells a great story first but still keeps the D&D humor.
I disagree. Banning chewing gum is closest to banning open urination. Restrictions on "freedom" such as not being allowed to dump toxic waste into lakes etc, stem from preventing tragedy of the commons - not from demanding obedience. The same goes for vaccine mandates.

In fact, one of the primary responsibilities of the government is to prevent tragedy of the commons. Everything else can be driven privately.

Most people don't need to. Most people use Tor when it's a) completely unnecessary, b) not interesting to the sort of well-funded attacker that could run this many nodes, or c) only needed to avoid identifying them to the service they're requesting from.
I think VOO is the real TIPS, at least if you live in a highly desirable part of the US.
They don't but that’s how people interpret NFTs. They think of NFTs as buying an asset that demonstrates authentic ownership of media.

NFTs conceptual value doesn’t map to anything that seems remotely valuable at present moment. There’s no mental model for owning this inmaterial thing that is pegged to a digital file that can be duplicated infinitely without your approval.
Many here have pointed out that the difference between 6.2% and normal inflation is not meaningful for businesses. And that makes sense.

I'm curious what if anything companies/founders could do in the event of actual hyperinflation?

FTA: “40% of SF traffic fatalities in 2019 involved drivers making left turns who didn’t see the person in the crosswalk until it was too late.”

If there are traffic lights, there should not be anybody on those crosswalks. Neither should there be “incoming traffic, including bicyclists”.

Good junction/traffic light design avoids having streams of traffic crossing each other (“conflict free intersections”). See https://beyondtheautomobile.com/2020/08/11/signals-for-chang... and the (linked from there) video https://youtube.com/watch?v=knbVWXzL4-4

Does not stopping completely, even if both roads are totally empty, not cause a big penalty in the UK? In Denmark you would get one mark out of three on your license if you so much as creep across that STOP line. It's full stop or risk a ticket (200 euro at a minimum) and 1/3 of the way from a new license (likely 1300-1800€).

While a bad intersection it seems to me that the culture is insanely bad looking at how many dangerous drivers are passing behind him in the short amount of time he is there. I'm shocked,really.
my restaurant experience and it happened more than twice were: drinks taking 40+ mins to arrive, kids food never came, food was wrong and 1 hour+ and cold. 4% covid charge on top of sky high bill. I don't think I'll eat out anymore, we are just resigning ourselves to cook every meal. No way I am going to waste money for a horrible experience that costs a fortune.

He mentioned that curving the two sides of the stop-signed road so that they don't meet the main road at the same point anymore is an option, but it would cost £100,000, and there was local conservatism & conservation at play that would nix even that fairly simple idea. A roundabout would cost a lot more and create more change/disruption, so I'm sure that's even less likely to happen, and thus not even worth mentioning.

The threat of devastation works better on countries that aren't already completely devastated by decades of internecine conflict anyway. It also works better against the non-theocratic adversaries that are legitimately concerned for their own corporeal wellbeing (Qaddafi, Saddam, KJU, Assad).
Bitcoin has principles the way most people mean the term. Ethereum does not. I've already given examples that make it clear.

Ethereum's algorithmic constraints are merely algorithmic constraints that can be changed easily, whereas bitcoin's key algorithmic constraints also are actually principles; changing them results in a non-bitcoin fork.

I'll take it one step further. I appears, surely, youtube's code is so refined now, when I am away from youtube for awhile they lure me back by making some older comments of mine visible to some people so likes from others occur. If I were not being shadow-banned, perhaps my comments would be rising up towards the top, can't have that as they are well-aware that I am one who disbelieves every narrative.

So you make a change to the culture - did it help? What does help mean here? Happier staff, better retention?

> You can make changes and see that you've had an impact

Well the obvious counter here is how do you see you've had an impact when the impact is so hard to measure?

> You probably don't need to go run a survey or something to prove it -- just make a convincing case, in words.

And yet I've seen the huge issue of wordsmiths with nothing to back it up with taking over and ruining teams.

Reviewer 2 is probably the only/best way to address this. More-so if they're a grant reviewer, of course, but paper reviewers will do ok as well.

Solar flare would be awesome for coders. Some huge percentage of enterprise applications no longer have source code (they're just binaries with the code lost to the ages).

I think it largely depends on what you consider a nightmare. Luckily, it's a very nice time to be looking for a job, so you have a lot of flexibility for what form of nightmare you're willing to submit yourself to.

Another factor to consider is how much $$$ you're looking for - if it's FAANG level salaries and you hate LeetCode interviews, you're in for a pretty bad time. If you're looking for a high percentile salary relative to other people in the US, there's some pretty good flexibility.

One final factor to consider is how much experience you currently have. I think less experience will correlate more with higher frequency of LeetCode interviews.

Self promo disclaimer: I started a job board that's pulling from the https://github.com/poteto/hiring-without-whiteboards repo and lets you filter companies by their interview process, while also showing the available jobs. I'm in the same boat as you where I'm very cynical of the current interviewing atmosphere, so created the website for people that may feel the same way. My website is https://nowhiteboard.org/

Cool app. The transcript was better than I expected.

My experience was quite negative though.
I tried to transcript the knife game song, but when it's picking up the speed, it skipped some words and I couldn't add them perfectly. Then I couldn't remove my errors because it can't edit more than 5 words at a time, and automatically select more.
I fought with the UI for more than 10 minutes and when I tried to download the video to get the (best I could get) imperfect result of my hard work, contrary to what you said ^^ it requested my email so I couldn't download it.

The timing of the lighting of the words is almost OK, but there is a noticeable increase in viewing experience when the words light-up at exactly the right time.

It still needs some UI bug hunting to make it usable but it's on the right track.
You got it right up until the point where you think it’s to pass information from top to down. It’s not. It’s to pass information from the bottom up.
Are you assuming that the “October measure” of 6.2% is a per-month figure (meaning 12 of them would be +106% compounded [1.062^12-1])?

That’s not how it works. The 6.2% is an annualized figure.

(If the one year outlook were for inflation to be >100% in the US, people would be flipping out; BTC would be $200K+; markets would sell off 40+%; Treasuries would be selling at a yield well over 75%)

Tor is not as secure as it is often thought. It needs to be redesigned and/or adopt some modifications from I2P's "garlic routing".

I suggest a complete end-to-end rethink of how anonymous Internet services are done. Instead of it being a tunnel for generic traffic, think of a specialised private protocol for input/output of information. Throw away the highly complex, insecure HTML5 that most hidden services are interacted through. Instead of slow, bloated HTTP requests, think of sockets that stay alive meaning traffic can be high bandwidth and low latency. We could even throw in some modern cryptography like ED25519 which would give some performance benefit. I had an idea for 'heartbeat groups' too which would prevent timing attacks at the ISP/wider Internet level.

If it weren't for the fact that I have a full time job and don't want the Five Eyes on me, I'd build it myself.
A very similar algorithm is the foundation for a certain very powerful psychological/spiritual technique called "Core Transformation"[1]. You start with a particular problem or issue that you want to work with and work your way up the chain of intentions recursively to reach a "core state" which then transforms the original issue.

It turns out that, seen through the lens of this process, human motivations form a kind of skein or lattice structure, which terminates (or originates) with a small set of "core states" that are transcendent: bliss, love, oneness, okayness, happiness.

The states are transcendent in the sense that they depend on nothing and are universally available at all times and in all places and conditions. They are intrinsically satisfying, and all actions and behaviors are ultimately aimed at restoring the presence of these states.

It follows that the vast majority of human activity is, in fact, yak shaving! Human history is the story of a massive, intricate indirection through layers of abstraction to attain goals that are already available.
