> Same as claiming that Covid caused a lot of deaths when doctors in my country have been caught writing off car crash victims as Covid deaths

> But feel free to keep citing the need for supporting evidence in an age where there are strong financial incentives to take one of the sides in this debate

I can't speak to anything about your country or your experiences, but you've used an absolutely non-falsifiable (+ ludicrously non-scalable) anecdote as your "counter-argument" or whatever, while simultaneously denigrating the validity of any real supporting evidence that anyone might show. You call this a "debate" - what room have you left? Can I provide stats on the highly-monitored vaccine distribution in the US regarding death? Yes, sure (.0022%).

But to what end? When you also claim:

> No small amount of people died immediately after getting the vaccine."

What is "not a small amount", I guess? Percentage-wise, 0.0022% sure seems small. Hell, maybe it's 50x worse than that in reality, which would still be just around 1/10th of a single percent! But, again, how can we have a conversation when you yourself refuse to provide any evidence for your beliefs, and pre-dismiss all other evidence due to financial incentives? None, as far as I can tell.

No surprise at the MS non-response here. Anyone forced to use Teams every day can see that it's being maintained by a skeleton crew (at best) on the dev side. Every single day I miss basic features (like global message linkability) that I came to love in Slack, and suffer 101 little bugs and annoyances that never seem to improve much.

MS clearly thinks Teams is "good enough" - enough of the feature checkboxes ticked that they can focus mostly on aggressively marketing it, making it seem crazy to use a separate third-party chat platform instead of Teams if you're using Azure.. even if does happen to be a buggy bloated beast, with almost unusably wretched mobile apps.

If there's just one area I wish we hadn't switched to MS-brand dogfood after making the move to Azure, it's chat/calling. It's a deceptively tricky domain to get it right in, and one where you really want as little friction as possible for all users.

"We should have stuck with Slack." - every team that ever switched to MS Teams.

A big reason for that was that Valve decided to make their games run on Linux.
Have had 2 kids in the last decade in Switzerland and we only had a visit or two and it was mostly about providing councelling, not helping you in your daily task as a proper kraamzorgster.

Keep in mind that these kinds of systems are not necessarily compatible with some cultures/usages. My gf has a friend who is leaving in the Netherlands and was getting crazy about having that krammzorgster around in the house all day long while her mother was already here for a few months. It looked like it isn't even optionnal and they couldn't just tell her to go elsewhere. They are mexicans.
> particularly a compositor impl to go along with it

Well, there is a wlroots impl, so I've just added a couple lines to wlroots to invoke this support from an env variable without having to modify the actual compositor :D

https://github.com/unrelentingtech/wlroots/commit/5b8308651c...

but the wlroots impl isn't merged either, so I think there's kind of a mutual dependency here. Either your MR or the wlroots MR should go in first!
You didn't read enough: they will be using the default os webview so Edge on Windows, Chrome on Android and Webkit on Apples.
four doses seems excessive
No, the system is designed for centralizing everything in one process, and biggest pusher is uninterested in cooperating with anyone else.

And ability to have global hotkeys is not fancy nerd customization. Writing a plugin is also a much more harrowing experience when any bug might take down your entire graphics stack due to above mentioned centralization by design.

If you had a button you could press which would magically make all weapons on earth disappear, what will you have achieved?
You would have just transformed the power structure and taken the might away from those with physical weapons, and delivered this might to those with big muscles and the ability to coordinate with others like them to give you a good beating.

But all that aside, I talk about magic buttons because such a law would be impossible to enforce, and certainly not globally.
another example of a single dc in a single AZ rendering an entire region almost unusable. This has shades of eu-central-1 all over again.
AWS doesn't follow their own advice about hosting multi-regional.

When us-east-1 is sufficiently borked the management API and IAM services in all regions tend to go down with it.

Static infrastructures usually avoid the fallout, but anyone dependent on the API or otherwise dynamically created resources often get caught in the blast regardless of region
>Times of Israel reported that the Israeli government has banned the sales of Pegasus to autocratic regimes, as well as to the governments of Poland and Hungary

This may sound a little paranoid but I always treat declarations like this with a grain of salt.
Since you categorically state that "the whole thing needs to be pulled apart" and attribute all sorts of evils to what is essentially just an open cryptographic protocol that anyone can freely use or not use as they please, I'd say it's you who is more closely edging towards being unable to rationally discuss bitcoin. Many things can be arbitrarily defined as bad ideas without having to be banned and something doesn't need to "better human society" (according to your definition of how that's decided no less) in order to have legitimate reasons for existing.

Just put one monitor over another and you get the same effect (?)
Exactly. MOST companies are priced out of deep nanometer nodes these days. So they go for these nodes instead because many are still selling 50-100 nm products so there's cheaper room to improve merely to 22-28 nm.
The prevailing wisdom throughout the last couple of years was:

“ditch your on-prem infrastructure and migrate to a major cloud provider”

And its starting to seem like it could be something like:

“ditch your on-prem infrastructure and spin up your own managed cloud”

This is probably untenable for larger orgs where convenience gets the blank check treatment, but for smaller operations that can’t realize that value at scale and are spooked by these outages, what are the alternatives?
> In countries with unstable currencies they are useful stores of value (Venezuela, Turkey and Zimbabwe right now)

Also, Cuba and Argentina. While Bitcoin may be more accessible to people in these countries, they could also store value in USD, or other stable assets.

> By making online retail anonymous

I really don't understand the persistent myth that blockchains are anonymous.
> Consciousness causing the wave-function to collapse isn't a very popular idea these days and there are alternative explanations, though as far as I know there isn't any evidence that it is involved or if it isn't. The wave function collapse happens regardless of whether a human or any conscious being is present, all that is needed is something does an observation. Imagine a scenario where a QM experiment is done, and the result is recorded by machines and stored as a data file. Let 100 years pass then distribute copies of the file to a million people. They will all see the same thing.

I'm not sure. https://nutritionj.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12937... says that isn't the case, but I have no idea how reliable that journal is.

Overall, there is a weight of evidence in favour of vaccines (especially mRNA vaccines) being effective, and very little evidence for the various options that the antivax crowd like to put up as alternatives.

I liked the story and the impromptu web server!

Two comments:

- using "ping -a" creates an audible ping so you can find the server if you're by yourself without having to look at the screen.

- No need for cat:

Right I don't dispute any of that. However, you're just making the last guy's point about semantics.

I'm no socialist, but I think a common interpretation of the american dream (or prosperity in general, really) is that a hard, reasonably intelligent & frugal worker can one day employ what they've earned to enable others to to meaningful work. I.E. they can own a small but meaningful part of the economy above and beyond what they require for sustenance.

Common investments have ballooned disproportionately to the value of goods and services they provide to society. The companies aren't making the world that much better, but the people who own them are reaping rewards as if they are.

There's no real price discovery anymore. Don't low interest that stimulate the economy fundamentally mean keeping inefficient businesses afloat?

The classes that rely on wages and salary are getting priced out of financial mobility. I'm not super familiar with programs outside the US, but our dual mandate of 'stable prices and max employment' seems to translate to 'keep the poors working as hard as they can, and make sure the basic feed (market basket of goods) is cheap'.

Stuff like housing, cars, health care, and higher education (stuff that really matters) either isn't in the market basket or seems to under-measure an average person's lived reality. Tons of people have heard of the 'burrito index'. Seeking alpha is mostly trash, but even a quick glance-over of this guy's graphs is telling:

>Any Spanish speaker can communicate with a Portuguese, French and specially Italian with little effort because they are so similar.

For any native French speaker without prior exposure to it, Spanish is just as incomprehensible as Russian or Dutch.
My prediction: it will take years for this to pop in the absence of a general economic crysis. The crypto coins gave just struck the most anti tech circle of my friends. They are watching youtube videos of how to mine on mobile phones besides buying the most obscure coins they can find.

So it looks to me like there's plenty of potential "investors" out there who can sustain this thing for years to come.
This article is so cringey. The author is using Tesla as an example of a bubble stock, for which he is sure Offers no attractive returns in the future. He dismisses a “naïve” student who presents the opposite picture.

I will bet anyone $1,000 this author will look like the idiot in 5 years while the student was right all along.

I sometimes struggle to condense my thoughts while speaking, which can make for some uninteresting long-winded stories if I’m not careful.

But it does get better with deliberate practice. Knowing the issue is half the battle.

To be candid, even this blog post was on the wordy side. I understand where the author was trying to go with the piece by the end, but it might have been more engaging if reduced to half the length or less. Being concise is important for making specific points.
It is unbelievable the difference in development velocity and quality of the final product if you compare Teams and VS code, both from Microsoft. Both apps are built on electron.

Teams is dog slow, VS code is probably the fastest electron app in existence.

Teams is full of bugs, and it seems they are unwilling to fix even security vulns (from TFA). VS code is free of bugs, even though I use it way more than Teams.

Teams is not fixing even security bugs, and VS code's update cycle is so frequent that it is annoying. I am surprised how long their version notes are.

Really strange.
So, it is this:

How is Bitcoin unconfiscatable? Just confiscate all wallets. If they are encrypted in some way, they would still be inaccessible to the person. If they can be recreated, the person can be monitored to determine how to recreate the wallet and then be drained.
Hmm that is remarkable - the table says the USA has 120.5 firearms per 100 citizens, the highest, of any country, and #2 on the list is Serbia with 37.82! So, the USA has more than 3 times as many firearms per citizen as any other country on earth, if that table is to be believed. (I don't know how incomplete the list is.)

And that global map is..interesting too - with the exception of Canada and Cuba, the Americas are really homicide central, and to a surprising degree.
I think the same. Especially when you see in investing forums that many people are tilting 5% to crypto.

Nice try Veritasium, but I’m afraid that as clever as these pen wiggles are. the defining characteristic of computers[cience] is the calculation of discrete, discontinuous functions…

if sunday:
store_closed
else:
store_open

These analog “computers”, despite their historic name and ability to compute continuous functions, don’t meet the bar for what it means to be a computer.

It’s like saying a spring balance is an atomic computer because it adds up the masses of all the atoms on the balance to give you a mass in grams.

That’s not to say that non-electronic logic circuits haven’t been built in the past. They have been built with fluid,
marbles, redstone etc. but I don’t know if they were ever used in antiquity to perform calculations. All the examples I know of were built in the computerized modern era.

(Let’s not get started on whether a machine with separate memory for data and code can count as a computer.)
I have tons of this kind of data due to my side project, StatusGator. For some services like the big cloud providers I have data going back 7 years.

There indeed has been an uptick in AWS outages recently. You can see a bit of the history here: https://statusgator.com/services/amazon-web-services
I didn't hear any reports of that happening in the most recent outage. The console was inoperable but you could work around using regional console host names.

There is an analogy with data compression: if you remove a byte, in for example a zip file, and then try to expand it, it might work and give you a different result (it likely doesn't due to a checksum error). I think something similar was used in the SHA-1 collision attack (shattered.io) to generate different jpeg images that have the same checksum.
The Bitcoin situation reminds me of one wing of current U.S. politics. It's a complete fraud that's been obvious to a lot of people for quite a while now. But countless people have become so married to it and have allowed it to become a core part of their identity that they're no-longer capable of seeing reality clearly.

It comes with all the same kinds of personalities too:

- The angry commenter who just wants you to know that _you're_ the idiot, not them

- The "just show me the facts then" perpetually recursive denier

- The few who manage to benefit from it and are amplified as a signal that _everyone_ will benefit

- The few at the top actually making all the money, funding the further manipulation of the weaker minds at the bottom

Yeah, it's all a Ponzi scheme. A cult. All that.
> Does the lightning network need Bitcoin to work or is it just Venmo?

It is built atop of bitcoin and provides as much safety as bitcoin itself, with one single exception: you cannot be offline for more than a week.

Not true. In fact, those programs are only barely more expensive than "podatek liniowy", which got introduced decades ago and which is essentially a subsidy for the wealthy for being wealthy.

Full disclosure: I've never actually done it either and I'm no expert...
Yes, but I think it's elastic compute that's down, which hosts a lot of AWS and Heroku's own infrastructure, hence the large blast radius.
No one cares, including Amazon. This webpage isn't profiting off them. There is no valuable IP here being stolen.

Amazon has much bigger legal issues to focus on than some satire.
> My "Tor 0day" blog series focused on one specific scenario: Can someone watching the network traffic determine if you (specifically you) were using Tor?

Tor never claimed that it can hide if somebody is using tor. It only claims that it can hide what you're using tor for.

This "specific scenario" is very explicitly out of scope so claiming "0-days" seems extremely dishonest marketing.

What am I missing?

So interesting. I never thought this was ANYTHING but a piece about the magician Teller. "Bank teller" never registered until your comment.

What's much more interesting about your comment is that is evidence of some of the points Teller makes in his piece. You were totally misdirected. You were sure of one pattern when another one was being used. You walked away, indignant and in disbelief.

That's my goto solution for a simple server if I'm testing something locally but it has issues dealing with concurrent requests in its simple form.

For example I ran a simple hello world test service on Kubernetes once using Python's http.server.

Just having 3 Kubernetes health checks happen on regular intervals would routinely cause the server to respond with errors. I think what ends up happening is if you have 2 requests coming in within a short enough period of time one of them will fail. You have to use a more complicated threaded http server if you want a zero dependency solution.

Which SPACs don't have a sponsor? In which SPACs do non-financial sponsors take less than 20% of the total company value? Would you invest in a company that has no defined product, service, or business model, and puts all their eggs into the basket of a private company that you might not have ever heard of, in a business relationship between the SPAC and acquired company that is never fully disclosed in which the share price is almost assured to drop at least 1/3 the day after trading and in which there is no long term evidence of value creation?

These companies aren't like Coca-Cola that started as a small business and then grew, delivering value along the way. There is no way for an investor to "look at the ingredients" of a SPAC at the time they invest in the SPAC before the merger.
