Well, the history of actual 50% attacks on cryptocurrencies in the past few years seems to suggest that effect of a 50% attack on the value of the cryptocurrency is... pretty close to nil, actually. Admittedly, a successful attack on a major cryptocurrency like Bitcoin or Etherium is likely to have far different impact on cryptocurrency society than one on a minor cryptocurrency, but the ability of the community to twist every bad news into "this is good for Bitcoin" should not be underestimated.

Replying to myself because maybe there's a startup idea in the above comment: convince one or more of the the big social platforms to let users opt out of default moderation, and "subscribe" to thirdy party moderation. (Moderation-as-a-Service?)

This would open up a market similar to how you can use different spam reputation services with email, or different blocklists with ad filters.

It would also take the wind out of the sails of people blasting the social media companies for over- or under-moderation. Don't like what's being censored? Hire a different set of censors.

This just historically inaccurate.

Older US cities have many of the same characteristics as cities in other parts of the world. Those characteristics can vary, from small single-family homes tightly packed into a walkable neighborhood to large scale apartment dwelling with city squares and boulevards nearby.

Americans used to build cities this way. Whether it was Moses or the emergence of a general dislike of each other, or a multitude of other possible reasons, we generally no longer do.

Moreover, many of those older city neighborhoods are considered extremely desirable to live in, even today, so much so that they have become very exclusive areas available only to those with plenty of income or wealth. That doesn't imply that most Americans would necessarily make that choice even if they could, but the continued elevation of housing costs in the best of these "old world" neighborhoods suggests to me that your thesis is at best incomplete and at worst just incorrect.

murder per capita is an important statistic for a city, but it can be misleading.

for one thing, it depends a lot on how city borders are drawn. for example, baltimore city usually shows up in top five lists for per capita murders, and indeed it is an unusually violent place. but unlike many (most?) american cities, baltimore county is completely separate from the enclosed city. if you calculated murders per capital for baltimore city and county as a single population, it would still be bad, but it wouldn't be in the national top five every year. a corollary to this is that murder rates can vary much more neighborhood-to-neighborhood within the same city than they do when comparing entire cities. most cities I've been to have at least one or two dangerous areas to be avoided if possible.

second point: even in "dangerous cities" upper-middle class professionals are unlikely to be victims of violent crime. they generally choose to live in safer enclaves of those cities. realistically, property crime is a greater concern for this demographic, which does not scale linearly with violent crime and is not restricted to the "bad neighborhoods" the same way. interestingly, "safe" cities like seattle and SF actually have higher rates of property crime than baltimore.
Some things that alternatives to nation states are going to have to work out.

- They are going to have to figure out how to cater for nation states monopoly on violence and all the coercive power this gives them. I think this is a bigger thing than some people realise.

- One way of demonstrating this might be to demonstrate they can deliver outcomes that are better for people than the efforts of nation states can provide. I don't think we have seen this so far and I am skeptical that this will ever be the case.

Diffusion of power amongst international corporations? I think we are experiencing the high tide of powerful corporations that can play one jurisdiction over another. I think nation states will increasingly and successfully to defend themselves, in groups if need be, against these players. For similar reasons, I don't think we will see change coming from the crypto currency movement, or for other decentralising technologies to make this happen. I think the only alternative in the short to medium term for competent national governance is a failed society and regression in measurable human outcomes.

Supranational bodies? The authority of UN bodies seems to be draining away, they are hollowed out and their purpose become obscure.
I tend to think of the following as "states-in-waiting" -- centrally organized groups that can fill political vacuums.

- Several large religions (Catholics, Mormons, certain Baptist conventions)

- Mexican drug cartels

- Several multinational corporations (though internal bureaucracies of many in F500 are stagnate and wouldn't respond quickly to a power vacuum)

- Certain sub-divisions of governments (in the US: states, large municipalities, military bases, land managers)

- Certain volunteer organizations, like Civilian Air Patrol, Girl/Boy Scouts

These organizations have strong hierarchy, clear incentive constructs to align to their mission, and can typically respond quickly to external opportunities.

Books like Dies the Fire by S.M. Stirling walk through sort of an uber-case of this kind of scenario from a scifi/fantasy perspective. And that another organization fills a void is not crazy -- we've seen it in history (Catholic -> Roman empire, post-American revolution, KKK and fraternal orders like Masons/Elks post-US civil war, several places in the Philippines, France, and others in response and following WWII occupation, and so forth).

Power is slippery. There is no divine right to it. People do well when it is held stably and respected for what it is. People do poorly when it is mismanaged, and will tend to support the strongest claim when there is a vacuum.

I don’t see how anyone can have this opinion. If you are producing code for which VS was designed (.net for example) it is obviously and definitely one of the greatest IDEs ever produced. If you are having to fight with VS, then you may not be using it for one of its main use cases. I certainly don’t think it is perfect (git support being quite annoying at times) but to say that it isn’t an incredible achievement is ridiculous.

It does. Americans, and Chinese Americans themselves sometimes don't realise that Chinatown America is absolutely not characteristic of China, nor modern, nor at any point in history. Instead, it's a strange universe on its own, with its own history, and customs.

To me, when I talk to Chinese Americans, Chinese Americans feel as Chinese, as American football is football.

Germany still has significant radiation in wild boars (and mushrooms) from the Chernobyl fallout:

https://www.umweltanalysen.com/en/wild-boar/cesium-137-conta...

> From September 1st, 2017 to December 31st, 2019, muscle meat samples from 376 wild boars were delivered by the forest services (Bodenmais 129, Dahn 123 and Zusmarshausen 124). So far, 355 samples have been measured for Cs-137 activity. The Cs-137 contamination of wild boars fluctuated seasonally depending on the availability of individual food components within a study area, with the variability of the measured values being up to three orders of magnitude. The values ranged from 0.6 Bq/kg fresh mass (FM) (Dahn) to 16,704 Bq/kg (Bodenmais).
Far before cars, people left those cities for more space and fewer neighbors. It’s the foundation of our narrative.
> Manhattan meets Maui

I think that is a stretch beyond snapping point for Hong Kong. Most days in Hong Kong I could see the air pollution obscuring buildings in the distance. It's AQI is terrible https://aqicn.org/city/hongkong/ . There are nice mountain walks and nearby islands but it is extremely dense and urban. It's one of the places Ghost in the Shell used for reference!

Also the narrative here feels mostly from the mainland China point of view; having to go and deal with "problematic" Hong Kong. But problems between Hong Kong and the mainland began when Beijing used its influence to restrict Hong Kong's traditional democracy, so only "approved" candidates could be voted into office. And since then it's increasingly clamped down on the freedoms Hong Kong previously enjoyed, most recently doing things such as removing the Tiananmen Square memorials (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-china-59764029). At this point the writing is on the wall and bit by bit Hong Kong will brought in step with the rest of mainland China.

Unlike the author I found the Hong Kong bureaucracy fast and effective. Enforcers "sometimes able to look the other way" sounds like corruption to me and people with better guanxi being able to bend the rules. I'd rather have the laws fair, clear and applied to all equally (though that's always going to be a gradient).

Despite all that, it's undeniable China is on the rise and that's going to be the dominant story of this century. There's potential for that to be a great boon to the world and I hope that's the reality that comes to be.

However, I'm not sure if other C++ IDE beats VS. The thing about VS is: I started to use VS back in VS2012, and for EVERY version that follows, it seems to be slower and slower. The last version that I stay put is VS2017 and I still have it installed.

I have very good experience about Jetbrain products so maybe I'll try their C++ product as well, but so far I heard it's not very good for large projects.

> American suburban living is fiscally unsustainable and supported by massive borrowing.

These are city dweller opinions, and they're not going to change continued suburban and rural development.

Suburbanites shouldn't have to pay for city subway and potholes. Those are city problems.

Suburban and rural land is cheaper, the air is less polluted, and the low crime environments are ideal for raising families. If people want to live there, it's their prerogative.

You can buy a 2,000 square foot house for your family in the suburbs at a cost lower than a 700 sqft box in the city.

With remote work, it's not even clear that cities are an essential construct anymore.
C# GAMEDEV (HOBBY/OSS):

I'm making an OSS C# game engine. https://github.com/NotNotTech/NotNot It's an ECS engine very similar in features to Unity Dots.

I just finished the graphics/io bindings it will use: https://github.com/NotNotTech/Raylib-CsLo

I have a stable income from my SaaS business so this is more than just a hobby project for me. I'd like to turn it into a viable oss project plus a commercial option some day.

My vision is to create a top-down spaceship game with it, and create a simple gamedev framework for kids to learn C# programming with. using the feature needs of both of those to drive engine development.

What other IDEs do you rank higher than Visual Studio? (Emphasis on IDE and not code editors). I'm going to assume C++ or C# dev.

I don't think most building alarms account for a collapse that isn't the result of some other event like fire or earthquake, partially because keeping the alarm system running through the collapse is hard and partially through the mistaken assumption that the initial collapse would be loud/energetic enough to alert everyone in the vincinity.
I don’t understand what you are refuting.

But I live in Pacific Heights, one of the most desirable old world communities in America, and it’s mostly empty and full of ghost capital homes.

People like it for a while but they leave for the suburbs pretty fast and go looking for elbow room away from others. And it’s mostly because the energy under the surface of the beautiful homes is rude, selfish and inconsiderate. From the owners to the workers that come to service the homes. Regardless of class we are really angry people.
Isn't this exactly like that "god complex vs imposter syndrome rollercoaster" meme? First you think you know nothing, then you feel like the best of knowing something, but then another thing happens that you know nothing of, etc.

I don't think this should be straight up attributed to narcissism. Just "doing your very, very best to get things perfect" is not a trait of a narcissist. Better yet, they usually say they are, but have 0.0 credibility of doing that, and will try to disprove any hint that would, basically, hurt their ego or image.
I have a script that chooses the next track to play in a directory.

It does more than just shuffling, because if I skip a track before it has ended, its rating will decrease depending on how quickly I skip it. The next track to be played is determined by its rating and how frequently it has been played (it is valued more if it has been played less).

I don't get distracted by words/artwork etc., nor do I have a player that gets in my way. I just have some shortcuts to pause, show track info (in case I want to share it) etc.

That would be true, except large parts of the current C++ process are broken. The process advocates for papers, biasing towards people with personal quests and a lot of free time.

Constant catastrophosizing drives engagement, it's that simple. This is the reason you'll never hear 'stay calm' messages that are not tempered by a 'but'. Anger and fear are powerful emotions, and the media will hammer those buttons as hard as they can (unless given a powerful incentive not to), the effects on society be damned.

You're talking about the specifics of this library. As you said in your original comment, that would apply to any C++ library using shared_ptr too across the API boundary.

A different non-GC language wouldn't change things, because you'd have the exact same trade off if the same decision was made.

The only major difference is that Rust pushes you to Arc but C++ doesn't push you to a shared_ptr.
Wouldn't variadic generics make working with tuples of any length easier[1], as const generics did for arrays? If that is the case, then I don't see how Rust not being C++ matters in this case.

Right answer. Wrong reason.

Conventional armed might grows much more slowly than does economic productivity and trade. The relationship and relative power have shifted. "Men with guns" and "killing a nation state" that has a modern economy is a fantasy.

This is not to say there is no reason why the fantasy persists: Men with poor social and economic prospects will harbor that fantasy. But they are powerless, and guns will not change that. It just makes their fantasy uglier when they try to make it real.
