1. IMO it ends in inflation and crisis or stock crash and crisis, it's created a very unstable system addicted to fed stimulus. Possible of course that the fed can keep printing and try to prolong the agony a little longer.

2. For the last few months and more strongly recently the Fed has been signalling that they are going to taper stimulus, hence the rocky ride in the US stock market (driven to spectacular highs over the last decade by Fed purchases of treasuries and even corp bonds).[1]

3. US stocks in particular have not been valued on fundamentals in a long time - the indexes are propped up by a small group of tech stocks which are very overvalued, even world indexes are imbalanced in this way (50% US, 2% Apple for VWRL for example).

4. Well so far, they will doubtless have some wobbles on the way and may even reverse position completely as they have in the past (see 2013 and 2018 withdrawal of QE below [2]). This prevarication IMO just makes the eventual shock when they have to withdraw it even greater, and/or devaluation of the currency worse. They may choose to devalue the currency further so that nominally stock prices stay level, but that leads to inflation...

5. I don't think the two are linked, save that commodities are also linked to monetary and fiscal policy which has bid them up to unsustainable highs and led to unrest around the world (after 2008 and now again as price inflation rises). Sorry if that was unclear, I meant the Fed policies were starting to feed through to inflation.

To be fair to cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, this is precisely the sort of market distortion and financial repression it was created in reaction to and attempts to solve, it's just unfortunate it was unsuited to use as a currency and has been taken over instead by speculative carpet baggers intent on fleecing others.

Coincidentally? I am thinking of access to non-blurred images and face detection algorithms.
Very good points. Agree with most of them - especially the lack of interfaces. I'm currently working on a ~30k LOC Julia codebase which was mostly written by myself. This is split into ~80 packages within a monorepo. I've never ran into problems with tests taking too long as tests for a single module take a reasonable amount of time to run.

I'd really love a PackageCompiler that would "just work" though. Julia 1.6+ made a lot of progress in pre-compile times. However, nothing beats being able to easily release a binary...

- Focus on your fundamentals; learn how to do basic stuff like manipulating data structures, flow control and how to write clean understandable code really well. Forget about the 100s of frameworks and which language is better, that stuff doesn't matter.

- Build real stuff, but realise you're still learning. You won't build a whole application or website with bells and whistles just yet. Instead use that to figure out what you need to learn either now or later and where you want to take it.

- Don't feel stupid. Impostor syndrome is a real thing and even the most experienced developers experience it in some form. If you can't figure something out, take a break, take a few steps back, get help (even if its explaining to someone who has no clue), or try to cut up a problem into smaller pieces.
That's because ``t.test`` returns a MethodType instance rather than a FunctionType instance, which is invoked without the self.
The problem Hawala solves is turning currency at one end into spendable cash (probably denominated in a different currency) at the other end

Crypto doesn't solve this (except in very limited circumstances where recipients can buy everything they need with crypto). It's just a layer in the middle, and as it's a layer which requires additional exchanges, it's not more efficient except where it provides a loophole in foreign exchange regulations or where parties with a vested interest in crypto have chosen to subsidise the exchange costs.
The mentioned examples don't have reasonable alternatives in many scenarios.
Yeah, it's not in the same table in the database as the regular accounts, so they don't have "accounts".

There's still a list of names and a bunch of data. No question.
It is indeed tiny. The backend for my app currently handles 500 qps for 300$ in GCP. I guess traffic is the biggest chunk for OP.
Håkon Wium Lie, the author of CSS, and fellow implementers were very aware of the TeX box model

>6.6.4 Inspiration from other formatting models
In the early design phases of the CSS visual formatting model, other formatting models were frequently consulted for inspiration. In particular, TeX [Knuth 1984] was often brought up in white-board discussions.

As one of its foundations, TeX has a well-defined box model wherein all objects, including individual glyphs, are contained in boxes. The spacing between the boxes can be controlled through TeX commands. In addition to optimal spacing between boxes, TeX also allows maximum and minimum spacing to be expressed. This is referred to as glue (although Knuth suggests that springs is a better term [Knuth&Plass 1981]).

The visual formatting model in CSS is based on a box model, and all elements, both block-level and inline, are turned into boxes. Thus, CSS goes further than most other style sheet languages in creating boxes. For example, DSSSL and P94 do not use boxes for inline elements. However, CSS did not adopt TeX's glue. Although the issue was discussed, it was decided against in order to keep the VFM simple. Glue is very useful when breaking paragraphs into lines, but CSS leaves this problem to implementations. CSS allows, but does not demand, inter-paragraph line-breaking optimizations. Each box in CSS is, however, potentially richer than the boxes found in TeX since it can contain a padding, border and margin bands. CSS also borrows other features from TeX, including the em and ex units.

https://www.wiumlie.no/2006/phd/#ch-css

Håkon also goes into great detail on the historical context and technical requirements surrounding the development of CSS.

I think the reason the CSS box model differs from the TeX box model is because of the different problems they attempt to solve and various contextual difference the technologies developed under. Crucially, it's not because the authors were unaware of the TeX box model or because they thought they could do something better
There was a time before current sleep issues where this was true.

You could buy some laptops, install a decent distro and be on your way.
Nowadays sleep issues are affecting most recent CPUs, I had a pretty poor experience on any laptop.
I picked a Surface 2 because there was a community effort (linux-surface) and I still have the same sleep / freezing issues I had on day one, despite my model being covered in green checkmarks on the support page of the project.

Unfortunately OSS is people working for free in their spare time and you can't expect much.
Honestly I wish a company would come up and make a paid linux distro with proper support for one model.

I'd be happy to pay for an operative system that works and it's not Mac OS or Windows, as they both suck pretty bad in their latest iterations.

My ideal UX is the configuration of KDE I've used for years or my Sway setup, not window managers without tiling support and limited proprietary file managers which are designed for noobs.
The Planet49 case has not much at all to do with that. They were using tracking cookies that they also shared with third-parties, i.e. "non-essential cookies, i.e. not was OP suggested, and they were using a pre-checked checkbox for consent. The CJEU (and German BGH) decided that having such an "opt-out" does not constitute active consent.

PS: You might be misinterpreting that what the court said about "personal data" (aka Question 2). The crucial bit here is this

>That interpretation is borne out by recital 24 of Directive 2002/58, according to which any information stored in the terminal equipment of users of electronic communications networks are part of the private sphere of the users requiring protection under the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. That protection applies to any information stored in such terminal equipment, regardless of whether or not it is personal data, and is intended, in particular, as is clear from that recital, to protect users from the risk that hidden identifiers and other similar devices enter those users’ terminal equipment without their knowledge.

This just means that cookies containing personal data and cookies containing no personal data have to be handled the same. This still means essential cookies are still fine. It just means there is no difference between putting some static text, random string (which could be an identifier), or the users home address (personal data) in a cookie. Planet49 tried to claim that their tracking ids were not personal data and therefore they do not need any consent, and they failed, that's all.
Not OP, but I do want to note, there is a difference compared to windows: Windows has a stable driver interface, which makes it at least possible to have drivers that are basically guaranteed to be future-proof. Linux has no such stable ABI, and frequently does breaking changes.

Both approaches have their upsides, but I've very rarely had drivers stop working between various windows release. Of course, there are exceptions to the rule here - Yes, I also have had some drivers stop working since Windows XP. But those are rare, and getting rarer as time goes on and MS locks the kernel up, preventing drivers from doing stupid things.

On Linux, the problem only exists for out-of-tree drivers, but those will break fairly frequently for all but the simplest drivers.

As I said in my sibling comment, I don't know how I feel about a stable ABI - I do fear it would make the situation worse with more out-of-tree/proprietary drivers. But it is worth keeping in mind that it does have its upsides.

Of course, MacOS being what it is, it chose the "worst of all worlds" scenario: Proprietary drivers with no ABI stability guarantee. It's not really worth discussing as a point of comparison, MacOS has the worst driver story from the lot, only saved by its intended minimal target hw support.

So-called Web3 applications are not pure Web3 - they have many centralized Web2 elements still present. The transition to Web3 will naturally happen incrementally, given it's an entirely new technological stack that has to be built out.

Also, there are benefits to even partial adoption of Web3 by applications. For example, providing a decentralized ownership graph gives the community more power to fork if the centralized server-provider abuses their power, for instance.

See what happened when Steem was seized by a billionaire to be made into a corporate appendage:

Token ownership, that could not be censored by the new owner of the application, is what enabled this coordinated defection.
The early producers of bitcoin were not entrepreneurs. Early production of bitcoins didn't require special equipment and would not incur any significant costs at all. Note that over 60% of the bitcoins in circulation right now were produced before 2013. This means the adoption of bitcoin disproportionally benefits these early producers who didn't take any risks at all. A change in the monetary system should not produce a redistribution of wealth, why should it? It should be neutral in terms of wealth allocation. This is why I see Bitcoin as a scam. It's a plot to transfer wealth from late investors to early investors, wrapped around some ridiculous libertarian rhetoric.

A lot of websites make parts of their revenue from ads. This would be almost impossible for all of them.
According to the blog post half the money goes to their CDN (Cloudflare) which is a good decision. And about $100 for the database hosting.

I don't think they are overpaying for what they are getting. $400 is not a lot for a proper site that serves a lot of bytes. I just don't think it's that impressive either -- it's just yet another website serving static assets through a CDN, with low QPS too, so I don't see why it's noteworthy.

Nothing prevents a browser from doing this. But it does nothing unless websites respect it. So far many websites haven't been cooperative, as evidenced by the amount of shitty cookie consent pop ups we all have to deal with.

All this talk about renewables replacing nuclear but nothing about the non-existent large scale storage needed for the equivalent the base load nuclear provides. e.g. If wind/solar is unavailable for 8h each day, don't we need a 24 GW battery to provide the base load of a 4 GWh nuclear plant?

I don't think anyone is saying nuclear is a good energy source. It's just the most viable option given the our needs - and it actually exists
> You also don't need permission for session cookies.

Not usually, but if you use session cookies to do tracking you still need consent for the tracking itself. You can set the session cookie by default, but before you do any extensive tracking (more than technically necessary) you still need a consent dialog.

Of course this is exactly how most websites use session cookies, but I've also seen server side tracking frameworks that abuse session cookies necessary for operation.
fair enough, however they juggle the buzzwords.

If they didn't but cared about their business (they know I hope) and make hard requirements to IT, that would help. IT should then come up with solutions to those real-world problems. We're not talking just about hobbyists, do we?

That's what Eric Evans talks about in DDD as I got it.

Well, yes? ENS is a GoDaddy-like domain provider on blockchain with all the root keys to themselves. At least that has a use-case unlike the NFT JPEGs.

You can explain it right in front of their face and they will not listen since they are driven by the price of a cryptocurrency. So the time that they only listen is when it is too late and they whole market collapses.

I bet there's a market for a truly adaptive mobile keyboard. It could track when you go back and correct typos and learn over time where the user's fingers expect to find the keys, then put those keys there as well as manipulating their size and shape for maximum accuracy. For example, I often hit the spacebar when I'm trying to thumb the N key, so it could move the spacebar further away from the rest of the keys or even retract the section of it near that key.
I’m not sure they’re illegal. If they are, EU institutions should be taking action against ... themselves.

https://www.echr.coe.int has a small, non-intrusive banner about at the bottom (good), but their cookie policy does say they “generate anonymous analytics such as the number of documents downloaded.” Hopefully that’s not per user — if so that’s pretty much best-practice.

But clearly there’s a lot of variation even among EU institutions in how they approach cookie prompts.
I’m not a lawyer, so take this with a grain of salt. But I have implemented gdpr for several companies.

First, you do not need consent for anything deemed essential to your site. Furthermore, you kind of get to say what is essential and what isn’t, as long as you can reasonably defend it.

For example a shopping cart is certainly essential. Previous purchases, page views, etc all essential.

“Page views per session”, most likely not essential (though you can make the argument they are), but if you’re not installing an identifier on the user to track them (for example, they’re signed in and you’re aggregating as such), then you don’t need to ask for consent.

If this sounds like there are loopholes that’s because there are loopholes. Concretely, tracking consent dialog are one of the looser parts of gdpr.

So what I usually tell clients is: You do not need a consent dialog, unless you use a first or third party analytics library.

If you add a third party analytics library (google analytics, Facebook pixel, piwik, plausible, …), [edit: or third party ads, they come with their own tracking], do not load it until you’ve asked for consent.

Ask for consent once per account or per logged out device.

Give the option to accounts to revoke consent.

oof -- that should have read 'open access' and was intended to pertain specifically to the scientific publishing ecosystem. my bad.

APCs are article processing charges. They are the fees the author (or sometimes the institution, if they have negotiated a blanket deal for all of their researchers) pay the publisher in exchange for the article being made open access.

> But even ten thousand fucking dollars sounds a lot less than what those publishers are making now, so isn't it still much better?

Publishers wouldn't be transitioning so many journal to Open Access if it was hurting their bottom line, and the for-profit academic publishing industry is about as profitable as they come with margins approaching 50%. They can do it under the guise of a principled stand. But it can create some perverse incentives. Also, previously they made money from subscription fees, so the bargaining power of whole university systems would negotiate rates. Now it for the most part falls to individual researchers, who don't have that economy of scale type bargaining power, which removes that check on inflation. A few Uni systems have cut similar deals to cover APCs for their faculty as I mentioned earlier, but it isn't yet the norm. /rant

Startups are also duplicating the work of each other, and succeed against big companies because this makes them more agile.

NFTS provide no reason to trust the developer about the artificial scarcity; there's absolutely nothing technical stopping them making, say, in-game clothing originally marketed as an expensive NFT the default player skin, or not allowing accounts with linked NFTs to log in. Sure, the NFT holder still has their unique alphanumeric string, but from a gameplay perspective nobody cares.

And from a developer perspective, if game engines were written in a way which made the holders of a certain token impossible to exclude from the game or possess items whose properties couldn't be adjusted for gameplay balance or aesthetics, that would be a bug, not a feature.
