I definitely think I could, and I appreciate the boost!

I'm generally aware of some Python rules already through associates, and a lot of scripting/proper programming - so I definitely agree. I could pick it up quickly.

I personally just find it difficult to get the gumption to pick up development-style things anymore.

I can tolerate a good bit of (bash) scripting, Ansible, etc - but Python gets a little too close for me ('factories' to make objects of objects, etc).

While it would be useful, the amount of 'practice'/grey matter shaping necessary to get good enough to get there... harder to undertake (when my current habits have done 'okay')

Looking at the Bitcoin hash rate, it doesn’t look that extreme: https://www.blockchain.com/charts/hash-rate

I think NZ and especially China are the only ones left. I think NZ has relaxed its restrictions about 2-3 months ago and to be honest I'm a little surprised they haven't yet followed Australia's path with the exponential number of Omicron cases, but imo the very big question remains China, I have no idea how they plan to handle this going forward.

Do you have any evidence or even anecdotes indicating this is the case? From everything I’ve seen, Web3 hype is from the same people who are still excited about all crypto stuff.
Yes, I don't disagree with that. But I will point out that the literature of the groups that advocate these positions could objectively be called "Western sources" since they originate in the West, but obviously those are not what the people who produce those sources mean when they say that e.g. "Western sources are not to be particularly trusted when it comes to Cuba."

It is actually very hard to characterize a reliable source in a way that does not exhibit any sort of cultural or political bias.

> services could keep exclusivity for a year, for example, before being forced to offer their self-produced content to competitors

There was already a law to that effect, but much stricter, in the movie theater business. Movie studios were simply forbidden from owning theaters, thus forbidding vertical integration. It would make sense to expand such laws into other areas to limit anti-competitive market power abuses.

Instead, even these laws were killed: https://www.polygon.com/2020/8/7/21358637/movie-theater-anti...

Accuracy is very high when you are studying a metabolic pathway that is (near)identical in humans and in mice.

Yes. More precisely: animal models are accurate when the metabolic machinery in humans is also found in the animal model.
Is this that far out of the ordinary? Lots of countries have forced licensing laws where you can’t use copyright for instance to prevent your song from being played on the radio.

This is why the last large organization I worked (at least my group!) settled on pair exercises.

We had a known problem set that all candidates had to work and this consistency kept HR happy (although it was an uphill battle to convince HR that it wasn't a "test"). The problem was sized so it would be just barely possible to complete the entire thing in 45 minutes. In fact, I think in all the years we did it, only two people every completed the exercise, and one of those we suspect knew about it ahead of time.

However, the problem wasn't a blind "do this on a whiteboard" exercise. We didn't really care whether or not they finished: rather we wanted to see the process they took, the clarifying questions they asked, where they got stuck, how they asked for help, etc.

The candidate could choose to work in complete silence, or work with the interviewer as a team exercise, or a mix of both. The point of the exercise was to see if they could (a) program their way out of a wet paper bag and (b) do so in a way that didn't completely alienate the people they would have to work with. Leetcode? Obscure algorithms? We couldn't care less.

It was surprisingly effective.
A company would probably not give you the time of day, but there are hordes of garage hackers with the equipment and knowhow that you could hire on a consulting basis and get some PCBs made and stuffed with parts.

$10,000 sounds like a nice tidy price if you're trying to get a small quantity of boards built and shipped.

You didn't mention how much you have designed so far. Is this just an idea, or are you all the way to a schematic with bill of materials? The closer you are to the latter the cheaper it gets. And if you DO have a gerber/BOM, there are turnkey services that can build the boards for you outright, like PCBWay.
> We did try to reduce the permissions as much as possible, but I believe at this time every permission is required by some feature

I appreciate that. And I guess it is partly the fault of the browser that you can't ask for just permissions that the user wants to use. From my point of view the set of features you chose isn't worth giving you the permissions. However I can see that for other users they do want these features. It seems that there isn't a perfect option with one extension here.

> but ultimately when someone does leave a comment or share it...

Yes, but there is a huge difference from "site I left a comment on" and "every page I visit". For example if I have a secret document that is protected by an unguessable URL I am not going to leave comments on it, so it would be great if it wasn't sent to your service. Of course once I do leave a comment it makes sense to send it to your service so that you can fetch metadata and other features. (Although it would be cool if there was an option to never reveal the URL as well.)
Nothing - it just won't have reached the front page if the headline was "Bitcoin hash rate is reduced by 1%" or whatever

How exactly did it overreach? Every country in Europe had data protection laws prior to GDPR. All these shitty sites ignored them.

The US will eventually have similar laws as well (CCPA is one if them)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Think_tank

Generally speaking, a group who spends their time "thinking". They will often be posed with questions or scenarios and try to develop models and answers around that. Explore some policy concepts, the consequence of some technological development (or the absence of that development), etc. The more prominent ones that pop up in the news in the US are often focused on economic, domestic, or foreign policy areas, but that's not the only thing they work on.

They're the kinds of groups you may go to to ask, "What if we had a UBI of $20k (in 2022 dollars) for every US citizen (regardless of age)?" and they'd develop various models, policy proposals, and possibly experiments to be conducted to analyze it. They may be asked to do a post hoc analysis of some policy or action to determine efficacy (or inefficacy), and so on.
The blocks use the same energy whether they are full of transactions or not.

So it has nothing to do with any organization encouraging transactions or not.

It wouldn’t stop demand when considering a competing theory that all the transactions are speculation, so nobody is missing anything if one place wont accept donations, or that place using their platform to reverse policy on accepting crypto.
Nitpick: The GDPR says it applies to persons who are "in the Union", which seems it would cover non-citizens who reside in (or are even just visiting) the EU, and would not cover EU citizens who are not in the Union.
When I worked for a huge electronics distributor in the EU I got assigned the EDI hot potato by accident and kinda grew to like it. I got to talk to other companies's IT people that handled it on the their side instead of business facing sales or management people. Started with loving the XML formats and hating EDIFACT but that got reversed real fast. One of the projects I'm still most proud of from that time is consolidating all of our EDI systems into one, coherent (and beautifly designed I might add since no one interfered because no one cared ;) whole that used EDIFACT as an internal format to represent documents. That enabled developing integrations quickly by just writing a translator/parser between our format and whatever God awful format the other party used.

One thing I do hate with a passion still is the AS2 transmission later that some vendors used. My god, what a shitshow that is. No stable clients, discrepancies between implementations and all for what? Essentially transferring files. Ugh.

> wave can be explained entirely by human immunity.

It's also the fact that, to put it bluntly, many of the people who were the most susceptible to be sent into ICU or to die because of Covid have already had that happen to them. Not sure if that scenario is included in the definition of "herd immunity", to be honest, just wanted to point that (cynical) truth out.
Appreciate the feedback. We'll work on improving the clarity in our messaging.
If covid-19 has taught me anything it's that I want absolutely nothing to do with bats or their habitats/waste stream. Previously I had zero appreciation for what an exceptional immune system the only flying mammals had evolved and how problematic that can be for other mammals.

I like these ideas.

What I think people miss is the "designed storage", for instance in the office setup.

There are lots of places space is carefully planned and efficient.

I think of cars (cupholders, phone chargers) and to a lesser extent RVs (sleeping + clothes storage; kitchen; basement). I'm sure there are other good examples where planned efficient use of space is convenient and makes life lots easier.

They do scale and you merely have to witness the insane amount of black-market trade between relatively low tax Paraguay and Brazil/Argentina to see that. The border between Argentina and Paraguay doesn't even have passport controls most the time, let alone customs.

Also just because crypto can't be spent by most local vendors doesn't mean it's not valuable. Stocks can't be spent either but if you had a traditional bearer certificate like in the old days (paper stock with no owner except by merely holding the paper) it was just fine for trade and people did just that in the Weimar Republic when they had hyperinflation.

Worst case you can just spend the crypto in foreign location, import the goods and sell them locally.
You forgot typing documentation, emails and chatting on Slack.

Also, you might be underestimating how dumb it looks to both technical and non-technical people when a highly paid engineer can barely type.

> I have absolutely non-zero desire to go through this every year, unlike my parent commenter though.

Many people get sick every year or every other year. Their illness is like you described: 2-3 days of being "knocked out" and about a week to fully recover.

It's not that I "desire" to go through that every year or two, it's just life. I expect that's why people responded incredulously to your post: for them, getting sick occasionally is normal.
This made me lol!

I have a story, names protected to protect the innocent (and guilty).

Many moons ago I worked for a company. I was a Senior engineer and we were hiring for a Principal engineer. We had a candidate highly recommended by someone a couple of levels up in the company come in. I was one of the people to interview him. I was a very, very strong NO! (he was incredibly condescending and rude, did not answer any of my questions as he deigned me beneath him). A couple of other engineers were also a strong NO! for similar reasons but he got hired. It is always possible he was a genius but would have been absolutely hell to work with.

He showed up in pajama bottoms on the first day of work (not a huge flag, but still). When he was introduced to the rest of the small company at a meeting he stood up, did a sarcastic, dramatic queen wave and then sat down. Everyone was like WTF!

He stopped showing for work a few days later. When his boss called him at home he said "He didn't feel like coming in". Eventually got fired for not showing up.
Yeah, it's unfortunate that the movie industry has held on to DRM so hard.
At the same time, I find cruel to tell a guy who’s dying that he’s going to make it. Also, often, not listen to his last wills “because he’s gonna make it”. Sometimes you just would like to go in peace, tell the good old stories, and say “That was a nice life. Thanks.”
There is a government agency that goes around trying to teach farmers how to farm in a way to bring fertility back to soil life, and have even parterned with people farming with notill to talk to conventional farmers.

Despite going around making presentations for years, it is still a hard sell to farmers.

Examples (and I am paraphrasing not quoting):

"What if my crop goes bad? Or hail? How do I deal with pests?"
"Polycropping means that you'll have some kind of crop even if some of them don't do well, or the market crashes on one of them"

"I can't run my farm and make a profit without the subsidies"
"I was able to get off of subsidies and my farm is more profitable and resilient than it had been before."

"I'd still have to get manure from somewhere and prices will go up"
"I run a livestock operation on the fallow fields. They help fertilize the fields until I put crops back on them. I sell both crops and livestock."

And so on.
Yes DO does. Generally slightly more expensive than Hetzner, with a few more AWS-like features.
Sounds like you're trying to play it like Zork too.

It's better to treat it more like collaborative story telling. It will let you "do" whatever you want. You don't have to 'check inventory'. If you want to shoot someone with a bow, you say "I shoot the knight with the bow". And you've done it.

It never contradicts you and says "You can't do that, you don't have a bow." It just rolls with whatever you've just said.

And it gets things wrong, sure. It sometimes has characters say things that I'm like "No wait, I was the one that said that, why are you acting like you said it?" Or contradicts what just happened. Or has you move into places that don't make logical sense (like exiting a detached garage at your house to enter a small room, etc), but correct it and go on.

But one thing it lets you do is either have it retry, or you can just click and edit their response to something you would rather it be.

"But why don't I just write a story on my own if I have to edit it to be what I want?"

Because it comes up with shit that I would never think of on my own. I fought an evil Super-Man in the bottom of the sea, and he chased me into a classroom, and saw a dog behind the desk, and got distracted from attacking me and wanted to pet the dog.

Even better, later we won a trip to the Louvre. The Louvre welcomed us as if it were a towering person, put on a fancy dress, and when we entered, Mona Lisa came back from the dead to give autographs next to its painting, the third floor had Poussin paintings running around as if in a horse race, and another floor let you walk into a painting, where we entered one with Jesus serving a man and a woman dinner, and Jesus offered us each two plates, one with a pea and one with a feast, and the signs heaven and hell under them, and whatever one we ate was the one we went to.

Some of that was me guiding the story a little, but I wouldn't have thought to direct the story that way if not for some of the unexpected things generated by the A.I.

I've played Zork. Zork has puzzles to solve, something AI Dungeon can't handle, but AI Dungeon has a lot more freedom.
My understanding is that Firefox has supported in-browser blocking of third-party ads, trackers, fingerprinters, &c., for a while now[1].

> * Machine learning for ads is done locally; can't be evil

There are too many moving pieces to this to dissect in a single comment. But to roughly sum them up: just about every adtech company that promises "privacy preserving targeted advertising" via ML uses some information-theoretical definition of privacy that doesn't align with normal user's intuitions about the word "private." We saw this with k-anonymity schemes, and we'll see it again when these schemes attract more scrutiny.
