I don't think you understood correctly.

A wise leader surrounds themself with people they can truly trust in. In this message we see a glimpse into the dynamic between Bill Gates and Nathan Myhrvold, and my main takeaway is that Bill truly trusts Nathan here, enough to be vulnerable and speak openly about his worries.

While it's humorous and perhaps even enlightening to think of him as a "child king", I don't think he was only "seeming hurt" here or manipulating (unless you count all forms of emotional appeal as manipulation). Being honest and straight is a very effective way to lead those close to you.

It's also the leader's job to worry about threats like this and direct the attention of his advisors.
Maybe there's a way to programmatically update the diffs the page? have each section tagged as a build or something.

>Your entire point rests on this premise and once we accept this premise we acknowledge the entire government is already compromised.

I agree.

>Once that happens why does the central bank matter

I guess it matters because public awareness is necessary for us not to allow history to repeat itself. As Ford once said: "It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning."
Why wouldn't this be true for older people too? In the case we should encourage everyone to go to work sick.

Having worked from small consulting shops up to big tech, there’s a pretty wide range in skill sets for devs.

Even big tech has shit engineers but it seems to have a higher percentage of good ones. They get paid more because of the impact of their work and how much the company values them.

A group of good engineers can make miracles happen. A team with one rockstar and some mediocre people are going to struggle to make the same impact. That’s why you pay to attract groups of good talent. It’s not about individual contribution but the work of the whole team.

I couldn't disagree more. Today's American society has way more liberty than it did in 1912. Blacks, women, Native Americans, LBGTQ+, other minorities: all live better today than whatever period you want to choose. Native American children were forced from their homes into institutionalize schools. In NYC tenements the police conducted midnight raids to force people to be vaccinated for smallpox (a worthy end but a terrible means). Women didn't have the right to vote. As others mentioned, Jim Crow ruled the South. There really is no comparison.

While MDMA is nice and can be used as alcohol substitute (Alexander Shulgin called it his no calorie martini) I don't feel like it is safe for regular consumption.

I do it maybe a couple days a year for special occasions or if I really want to go hard at a club/event, but I would be very worried about it's neurotoxic profile if I did it regularly.

Probably an unpopular opinion but cocaine is a lot safer for regular use, atleast when it comes to neurotoxicity. Addiction profile is definitely higher than MDMA though anecdotally speaking such a problem has not been an issue with me or any of my friends (really the only drugs I've seen people really seriously struggle with is opiates).

My issue is that they often don't give you the "none-of-the-above please let me speak to a real person" option--or they hide it.

Ah, I was just quickly reading on the J2EE wikipedia entry and didn't see "Objective" anywhere on there.

You're absolutely right, thank you for clarifying!
I do a lot of work in this area (my most recent project was 3d printing a mold to make a silicone mold to make a reece's peanut butter cup) and he's totally wrong about filament not being strong enough to act as a load-bearing bracket, given the size he has. Most people would just increase the fill to 100%, but that's not the way to increase part strength. Instead, you increase the number of horizontal and vertical walls. I would also avoid PLA (strong but degrades quickly and has wonky failure modes), instead using ABS or (my preference) PETG.
DNS is decentralized in only weak ways, NOT with respect to the naming authority.

I mean the DNS root, which holds all authority, is not decentralized.

You only call it decentralized by looking at the aspects of the system besides how naming authority is structured!

I think nobody cares about your "standard" definition at all. The naming authority is the part of the system that matters (and is big business).
Thank you for making the effort to experiment with the diff style. Now that people are seeing this documentation and appreciating the output, maybe someone else will come up with a way to automate it for future authors.
I never read the Latin, but that's a good question. Explicitly using pronouns at all is unusual in Latin, so if he did it was almost certainly for effect.

In the same way that war is just politics by other means, yes.

Wars are about logistics. If you think business is hard with the current disruption of our just-in-time economy when most actors are actually trying to cooperate, think about your competitor subverting, buying or bombing your third party communications service providers.

I’ve had approximately 52,000 side projects which have generated roughly $500 in total over 20 years. I could start posting for each of those projects to give a more accurate distribution ;)
I spend a lot of time thinking about this too.

I think a way to do this and still allow private or restricted feeds is to take advantage of the fact that URLs are encrypted under HTTPS. Have the RSS served via FastCGI or a dedicated handler that verifies read permissions for a URL token against a permissions database.[1]

I think you'd want the permissions database to affiliate auth tokens with email addresses or mobile numbers.

When you request to follow someone, you input your email address or mobile number. If they approve your request, you'll receive a link to generate a feed URL with your auth token included. You can then easily input that into your feed reader of choice.[2]

If you lose the feed URL/auth token, you can request a new one using the same email or mobile number. When and only when the resulting link is activated will the old auth token mapping be replaced.

--

[1] This design is inspired by Slashdot's old auth system, which allowed you to log in via a saved URL. While that was probably horribly insecure over HTTP, you could restrict it to an IP/subnet. In any case, now that HTTPS is widespread the security concerns are substantially mitigated.

[2] An issue I haven't figured out is how to prevent feedly, inoreeder, etc. from caching private feeds.
It's completely unrealistic Elixir (or anything else - Julia, whatever) will replace Python as the main AI/ML language, that's what I wanted to convey. I agree I was being a bit too snarky but what I said is true and was an answer to what OP asked.
You can't be that sensitive while reading internet comments, you'll have a rough time.
As for my past comments on Elixir - I tend to remain factual. I used to have a hard problem with the way the Elixir community was crapping all over Ruby to poach mind share but I moved on. Ruby also did that to Java when it was starting so that's life.
> Why is cryptocurrency software development different, to you, then the rest of tech?

In the rest of the software industry, there is at least a plausible resemblance to traditional economic incentives: you build software that people pay for (or otherwise extracts value from them, like adtech). The "value" of the product, company, &c. is some function of the company's financial health, public speculation, and the expected size of the market.

It's difficult to say the same for DeFi: nearly all of the products seem to be in the "Uber for Dogs" category, except that the "Uber" is an extremely slow distributed ledger with no discernible benefits. The value appears to be solely in speculation, divorced from underlying technical value.

And here's the thing: the market can speculate all it wants. But the underlying economic reality is that cryptocurrencies aren't meaningfully competing with traditional alternatives, and the market is built on that: we see ridiculous valuations for "$SERVICE but on $COIN" not because `$SERVICE` is worth that much, but because speculators are riding the speculative wave of `$COIN` and using `$SERVICE` to pump that speculation.

It's bold to say that this is the "correct" way of interpreting this information. I for one, think it's infuriating. Part of being the best at anything, means doing one thing, and doing it really well. With respect to cybersecurity software, to compromise this ideal at all is highly questionable. To do it to mine cryptocurrency is just ludicrous.
Yeah, at the one I'm familiar with it's (as far as I know and not necessarily limited to) may-need-intensive-care; intensive-care; out-of-intensive-care; and isolation (the covid+, but only there for the broken leg example).

> Ultimately, if you project a complex situation onto R^1, it can't be too accurate.

Absolutely, and it's all too easy to make 'obvious' armchair policy..! I was just a bit surprised since my assumption would be it counted the relevant wards (if it were up to me, I think that would be the first three; only not the isolation-but-there-for-something-else).
If interference with private transactions is fundamentally authoritarian, I still don’t understand how you see any sort of state as compatible with liberty.

Yes yes, “keeping the peace” but how is such an authority deemed to be legitimate? Who gets to define due process? How are they funded if not by taxation?

At the end of the day I don’t understand how you aren’t just an anarchist.
If you're lucky. I used to live very near to a cathedral that started practicing change ringing Christmas carols in about October, generally with more enthusiasm than skill.
Neither one of those hypotheses accounts for the four weirdnesses described in the article. So they don't seem like very good hypotheses.

Similarly "it came from an animal" that we've never found two years later is not a hypothesis that accounts for the information we have about the first COVID-19 outbreak either.

To me that sounds very much like OJ vowing to find the real killer, but somehow he never did.

Does medical malpractice makes homeopathy better? I don't think so.

I saw and wrote with plenty of people online telling me that they take vitamins and homeopathy and that this enough against COVID.

A family member did not get vaccination because of her homeopathy person.

There have been numerous stories over the last 20 years of people getting scammed out of there Money.

Homeopathy is so good that no one was ever able to proof that it works. This fact should be enough for a modern society to not believe in it. Still plenty of people do.

Funny enough in Esoteric cycles if it worked it was them but if it did not work it was your fault. Not a nice bunch of people they are...

> If inflation decreases the real amount owed by debtors, it also decreases the real amount that is owed to creditors, and therefore decreases the value of their investments.

I'm sure that's upsetting for wealthy people with investments

For the mom working 3 jobs at Macdonalds, as long as Macdonalds continues to pay an inflation linked salary, her debts being whittled away, that's great news.

Now if Macdonalds can cut salaries relative to inflation, that's a whole other problem.
To give some broader context to the request: There is a pretty rich tradition of popular Chrome extensions being sold to third party companies who leverage existing browser permissions to add in advertising or other junk. This is not a technical problem, it's a social problem. You cannot credibly commit to not selling the extension. Options within the extension don't solve the problem because the new owner can ignore them and rely on the browser level permissions. The only way to mitigate this problem before it happens is to ask for limited permissions, ensuring the new owner would need to request higher permissions should they engage in the problematic behaviour.
>"Hiding the numbers makes it less obvious if one is being taken advantage of, which is a reason employers have made it taboo to discuss pay. "

Posting wages might make it easier for companies to match their offers to others, leading to a sort of collusion, and salary stagnation.
The median dev income in the US is about $110k. I'd hardly call that "too lucrative".

I make under $100k. Before getting married and having a kid I setup an LLC for my honey business and worked about 16-20hrs a week at Lowes. The honey business makes a couple hundred a year (plus honey for us), and $750/month from Lowes doesn't help too much. But many side projects don't make that much either.
ActivityStreams specifically is the RSS-like part. ActivityPub is more of a "push" standard that builds on the former. You need it, e.g. to federate across servers with instant delivery of content (no need for polling with its added latency), or to have a standard "post content" workflow for an app to support an arbitrary choice of server. But ActivityStreams is the more basic standard.
The best process I went through was for a job I didn't get, but had me do a take home project that took about 4 hrs and they gave me a $300 USD amazon gift card. The biggest problem is it has really limited my tolerance for a lot of BS interview requests that previously I might have considered.

This reads more like am emotional outburst from somone with a belief system than an actual opinion. It's hard to argue against belief systems.

If the end result is getting to chat with a human, that's fine. But so many of these are just a different interface to search the FAQs, and the end result is to link to the FAQs. That's useless.
I agree with you.

I don't think the market is good at validating any ideas or research. Salespeople will talk up their product to no end and over promise. The only thing the market validates is the ability of people to sell crap

Being able to sell something doesn't necessarily mean that thing is good or correct in any way
It is quite offensive to suggest that anyone is “hoping for doom and gloom.”
Part of the issue is you're in a small (relatively) market. In markets that are large enough that ultimately shift corporate behavior everywhere, you'll actually see this improve as a result of what NYC is doing. Imagine how many companies are HQ'd in NY, or have sizable presences. It's a shocking number.

Similar to how California's emissions restrictions are implemented everywhere in the US vs making a separate California-only car, HR will start posting NYC compliant jobs everywhere vs figuring out whether or not they're required. Especially true if LA or SF hop on the bandwagon.
I just recently noticed the delivery optimization feature in Windows 10. It sounds similar to what you are saying, sending Windows update to other PCs on the local network.
Theia is - for now - a hypothesis, not an established fact.
Think about what this means in practice -- 2 things will happen. (assuming companies have to honor exactly the salary that is advertised)

Companies will:

1) Advertise lower salaries than you're able to otherwise negotiate (if you're a high performer) because they have to advertise this to everyone. People who could've earned more will lose some potential earning due to this measure, or they will not apply to suitable jobs for them that might have paid more on negotiation, and/or

2) Jobs will go unfilled for longer, and people who could've been hired for less will go unemployed or unhired for longer, because companies advertising a job with high salary will have to wait longer until the right person comes along for exactly that salary.

On the other hand, I could also see this becoming to the companies' advantage, as now they're able to openly collude and set standard (lower) wages for certain jobs, that no applicant will be able to negotiate above.

All to say, this is not the slam-dunk policy that you (or those policymakers) think. Lots of unintended consequences that I don't think that they even know yet.

And to help even more customers the antivirus could spread between computers using the local network, or by emailing installers to all your contacts.
I think what would be more effective is to require companies to publicly post salaries for their existing positions, once every 6 months, like:

Support Executive - 30K - 45K

Marketing Manager - 50K

etc. It would reveal someone's salary if there's only one person working at that title in the entire company but I do not see any disadvantages to that.

I think it would enable all employees to negotiate a fair salary, and job seekers to find a fair compensation easier.

In terms of range - why could not the law say "max cannot exceed 130% of min"?
I can understand your reason for saying this, (useful things often sell well) but a market only validates that people are willing to pay for something, not that it is ‘valid’ empirically.
The consequences only highlight the problem. We're currently in the first stage in a transition towards allowing the end user to express their wishes about tracking which then companies need to respect.

It only shows how disrespectful almost all companies are by attempting to shape the end users opinion on this law by attacking them with dark patterns.

If France is now expecting companies to equalize the opt-in and the opt-out behavior, they're essentially attacking these dark patterns, which is very welcome by almost all end users.

I hope that there will come a point in time when I can go into the settings of my browser, tell it what the default behavior (answer) should be and possibly even express interests in certain ad categories to whitelist them, like "biking". It would be a granular "Do Not Track" option which must be respected by the website.
It's no more a scam than the dollar, yuan, or euro.

It's as trusted as the system backing it. Can it be trusted enough that you at least can see when it's being manipulated? Can your current system? Some countries benefit greatly, some maybe little to none.

When every transaction flows publicly that's already a different starting point than what we have today.
"This is not a (purely) money distribution problem."

Agreed, it's a much deeper issue in modern society.

But treatments like those you mention are not a complete solution. They're a sticking plaster on a wet wound.

Society will need to change at it's core and the issues show worse in places where the biggest changes are needed.
Who is "we" though? I certainly had no part in a European democratic process that led to these laws but I still have to get nagged by popups every day.
