No. Spreading the costs over millions of taxpayers makes the cost you pay into the system way smaller, plus gives the government a huge contractual power when dealing with pharma companies.

The thing is, in smaller companies, where there are few applicants, this can be solved by interviewing people (as in "talking to them", not with LC puzzles which can just be memorized).

In larger companies, and for well paid positions, where there can be hundreds of applicants for each job, that just isn't feasible, so HR has no choice but to apply some sort of filtering.
Cloudfront's bandwidth pricing is outrageously high at $0.08/GB (up to $0.12/GB for some regions). Meanwhile, Cloudflare doesn't even charge for bandwidth.
The phone itself might have access to the a-z, but the people using the phone might not be comfortable using it, or even being able to recognise it.

They could be as comfortable with the a-z as westerners being comfortable using (say) Arabic script would be.
This is a good, well-thought out critique. While much of it rings true, I can't say I completely agree:

Wrt. static type checking, JET.jl does the job for me. I agree it still feels too immature with slowness and important edge cases it fails to consider. More importantly, the ecosystem itself needs to fully embrace type stability for it to be optimally useful, since otherwise you will get a shitton of false positives from functioning, yet unstable dependencies. The good news is that all of these things are improving quickly for JET.jl - it's getting faster and more robust. It still feeds immature since it's actively being developed.

There is also the linter, which is available in VSCode. It's pretty good. Nowhere near the level of rust-analyzer, but still decent.

You can easily have error types in Julia - see the package ErrorTypes.jl. It's not standard to use it, but I use it in my work code, and it works quite well.

You can absolutely write tests next to code and just run one test - see InlineTests.jl and ReTest.jl

HOWEVER:

* The latency is still terrible, and it really, _really_ hinders development. I don't see that being significantly solved in the next many years, only marginally improved. This can reasonably be a showstopper for some people. You learn tribal knowledge to lessen its blow (wrap things in modules, use Revise etc), but there is no sugarcoating it: It blows.

* The lack of statically enforceable interfaces is a real problem, and I think this will NEVER be solved in Julia. There just doesn't seem to be any real motivation from the core team, and no agreement in the community on what such a solution even should look like.

* The lack of separation of tests is very annoying as well. That might literally be impossible in Julia since part of its promise is that you can dynamically change definitions that affect other modules. It's what contributes to its great composability. But it also means you need to test ALL of Base if you change one thing.
There's literally another random person I've never even talked to on this thread saying that he had troubling relationships.

I've spoken to many people that say the same thing.
I believe the idea of Web3/Crypto is that it's decentralized, so there's no Google or Facebook to take a cut or control a narrative.

'"Tokens align network participants to work together toward a common goal — the growth of the network and the appreciation of the token." That's great if what you're trying to do is create an ecosystem of tokens that appreciate in value all the time. What percentage of systems can be modeled that way?'

That's the problem. "An ecosystem of tokens that appreciate in value all the time". The perpetual motion machine of finance.

Bitcoin has actually been able to pull this off, more or less. Etherium, maybe. The rest, not so much.

The NFT thing is winding down. NFTs are basically Axie Infinity, OpenSea, and the little guys. Axie Infinity is crashing. SLP is down to $0.02, from $0.35 at peak a few months ago.

OpenSea is hard to measure. There's wash trading to pump up prices.[1] NFTs have no overall market price. NFT markets stall, rather than crashing - high asking prices, no sales. There's a lot of that on OpenSea. "So far, most new NFT collectors on the secondary market have yet to recoup the costs of their purchases"[2] In other words, the issuer makes money, but the suckers who buy NFTs lose. Many of them don't realize they've lost. Someday they will find out, when they try to liquidate their Bored Ape Yacht Club collection.

I kind of liked the idea of NFTs as part of an asset portability system for virtual worlds. Goldman Sachs even endorsed that. I was thinking of this for items in the US$1 - US$100 range, like game items. The transaction costs would be too high if it took a blockchain transaction to walk through a portal, even for the cheap blockchains.

Some big part of all this is probably going to come apart in 2021. Definitely Axie Infinity. Maybe Tether.

This is not accurate anylonger - the new way is to form a PMA with two people. Then you can sponsor your own kitas.

While you don't have any equity in stocks, you are also immune from loss there. It becomes a cost - you can form a PMA from 25-60 juta and do an investor kitas fro 18 juta (million.)

You also don't need to give up 70k liquidity, on the risk that it may not come back and for dividends which are 100% taxable in the country (about 23% AFAIK.) because you must report revenue annually.

70K in stocks w/ dividends OR form a corporate structure for about $3000.

The other alternative is b211a/social visa, which is 60 days and about 1 million a month after per renewal up to 6 months, meaning, 4 renewals at 4 juta/million IDR and then 3 million to apply - so 7 juta total every 6 months MAX. 14 annually.

You may be missing the point on security and energy. Think adversarially. If the energy was 1000x for me, it’s 1000x for my adversary too. It’s important that we outspend the adversary if we want secure money.
How are you going to take my means of production (in my case, my electronics manufacturing and design lab) and use it for something else (un-deny the access)?

Or say I have a full fledged industrial scale wave soldering, mass PnP, full inventory of millions of dollars worth of components. I need it to feed my family, I'm not going to just hand it to you after I gained it through consensual trade fair and square. Doesn't that require coercion? I'm not just going to give up my goods I worked hard for, what's going to happen when the comrades see the loaded barrel of a rifle protecting that which feeds my family? I think a lot of people needing to feed there families are going to have a lot of rifles, and they're not going to be very happy about someone coming along to "open up access" to means of production of their business.

When you take my means of production, you deny ME access to what I gained without coercion, by using coercion.

This all just sounds like a violent way of less efficiently allocating capital, under the guise of non-coercion. Access to property should require consent, otherwise you have coercion. Seems to me free market trading of private property fits a lot more neatly with the oxford definition of anarchism.
From https://wiki.mozilla.org/Donate_Bitcoin:

> Does giving cryptocurrency result in more of my charitable donation going to transaction fees?

> No. Bitpay’s service fees, at a flat 1%, are actually lower than credit card or Paypal transaction fees.

How does that answer the question? The question was about cryptocurrency fees, which is not answered. Or is BitPay eating the transaction costs, if so, how is their business model viable? (Bypassing the issue that using BitPay is nowhere near decentralization and defeats the entire purpose of cryptocurrencies)

> What personal information does Mozilla require cryptocurrency donors to provide?

> In most cases, Mozilla requires only an email address [...]

That seems false, the form is asking me for Name, Address, Phone number and more AFK details if I try to donate. Again, antithetical to the original purpose of cryptocurrencies.
You have spent 3 years trying to cancel Alex (a man you dated for less than 3 months) after he broke up with you realizing you guys were both incompatible, and you are up on this site at 2am posting every 15 minutes about a man who didn’t love you back. Look, I’ve been there. It’s hard. I’ve loved and lost too. But please, for your own sake, move on. Why are you trying so hard to ruin people’s lives? Will it make you happy seeing someone’s downfall or will it make you happy seeing someone heal and be redeemed, or better yet, yourself healed and redeemed? Work on your own emotional health—-you’ll be much happier than trying to change someone else. Work on you. You have a right to be happy and in what you deem is a healthy relationship

I can only imagine what this must have been like to work on.

You see the exact same thing in core banking. Many are still using the same old tired solutions from the 80/90/00s. It really gets in the way of innovation when a nightly processing cycle is required to mutate some business state. There have been improvements, and some big players run their own in house stack, but the smaller end of the market is still quite antiquated.

These kinds of complex systems fascinate me. We have to integrate with them a lot from the outside, and over time you start to get a sense for what a more ideal system might look like. One day in the not-too-distant future I hope to get a chance to work on something like this. Dreams of writing a shiny new core in C#/.NET6 and running it on linux/x86/arm dance through my head occasionally.
It is very old wisdom, though. In the traditional art of healing with herbs, there were no strict formulas either. Like this plant for this sickness and this for that. It was usually a mixture always mixed for that one patients unique condition.

I am pretty sure modern medicine knows that, too. That fine graining therapy to the individual provides better results. But that approach is simply too expensive as it requires much more time for every patient.

>Because if you could just "vote to be a state" why does that stop at DC? Why not the three houses next to mine and me vote to be a state?

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

Article IV, Section 3, Clause 1:

New States may be admitted by the Congress into this Union; but no new State shall be formed or erected within the Jurisdiction of any other State; nor any State be formed by the Junction of two or more States, or Parts of States, without the Consent of the Legislatures of the States concerned as well as of the Congress.

So it seems unlikely that you would be able to become a state by voting on it yourself.

The Northwest ordinance sets the minimum population size of a state to be 6000 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northwest_Ordinance therefore I doubt your household has the requisite number of people living in it, even if you combine with the households of two or three of your neighbors, to succeed.

>Congress has to approve it because becoming a state incurs an externality on the other states

I did not say that they should become a state automatically when they voted for it, but rather that they should not be forced to become a part of Maryland if that is against their wishes. The obviously still need to follow the process required to become a state.

>To give your idea credence,

My idea should be quite easy to understand, and it was not the one you outlined here.

Don’t confuse "being paid for your popular content" and "people paying actual money for your content". On Quora you get paid for your popular content even if nobody willingly gave you money: it’s just that the website is now full of ads and you get a small percentage of that.
I think they mean mute the mic, do the actual sudo then unmute. A proof of concept script that I have hacked together from some other things I have (untested because I'm on my mac not my linux laptop atm) would look like this for linux

#!/bin/bash
set -euo pipefail
#Get current mute status
SINK=$( pactl list sinks | sed 's/Sink #//;q' )
current_pa=$(pactl list sinks | awk '/Mute/{print $2}' )
current_cap=$(amixer cset iface=MIXER,name='Capture Switch' | awk -F= '/: values/{print $2}')

#mute it
pactl set-sink-mute "${SINK}" 1
amixer cset iface=MIXER,name='Capture Switch' off,off > /dev/null

/usr/bin/sudo "$@"

#put it back the way it was before
pactl set-sink-mute "${SINK}" $current_pa
amixer cset iface=MIXER,name='Capture Switch' "$current_cap" > /dev/null

I think you might only need the amixer part to mute the mic but I'm muting the speaker as well with pactl.

No hand waving. One needs to outspend the energy (hash rate of the network) to undo transactions, censor or reorder transactions. The (probabilistic) finality of the transactions is contingent on the energy spent. It’s not a complex idea.
I just liked your comment. I accept ETH and BTC, thanks.
No, it's the constantly changing messages. It's at the point where nobody believes anything the politicans say.

Now we're two full years into this and the restrictions are the same or worse than when Covid first hit.

Huh?

Don't hold it against your colleagues. A lot of this knowledge isn't obvious to anyone and people chiding people for not knowing would be the last to come up with solutions themselves. This is just insecurity and bickering.

Google has been a publicly traded company with a massive scale. If the technical problems aren't interesting to you, I doubt it is worth it to work there. The culture of such companies are always the same. Detached to minimize problems, don't make personal problem a problem of the company. Good colleagues can make you forget this for a while of course.

That therapist disappointed me in how they handled the situation, but I did not lie and genuinely made an effort.

And that was not a therapeutic relationship – I asked him to mediate Alex understanding the harm he had done to me. And this was after Alex reached out to me again months later.

I think BTC & ETH (not random shitcoins) have a place and I honestly think they're better unit's of currency than fiat.

However, unfortunately I would now say that it's been co-opted by US-centric grifters/charlatans/hustlers.

The grifters need to go, but the crypto community doesn't really seem to want this to happen, as if the movement has been co-opted by these exact types of people.

Sidenote: I would hazard a guess that the people memeing about "oh my energy use" haven't looked into it with all that much detail. Fiat is MUCH worse in this position.
Is that true? I don't doubt you, just haven't seen any numbers pointing towards that being true is all. If you have some resources I can check out, I'd be very grateful.

In terms of "Total Market Capitalization", Bitcoin currently sits around ~39%[1], which feels unlikely if "66% still buys mainly Bitcoin". But again, you could be right.

I think the big difference here is that a house is an actual, usable thing. Stock is, roughly speaking, part ownership in a real thing.

Yes we do have RSS Builder, very handy :)
Yeah I can see that. How about something like

Having to use the local machine as an intermediary is a bit hacky but I know something like this is how emacs handles remote files (IIRC it also uses gzip).
You’re referring to Unix time, which is generally acceptable (if too small). The GP I think is referring to the art of storing Jan 1, 1970 8:11 as the number 197001010811 —- YYDDMMhhmm format, but as a number rather than a string. Which isn’t really that bad, since it’s ultimately the same as problem as Unix time, but it’s definitely an unnecessarily abusive encoding that’s distinctly worse than Unix time for no real gain

You miss the point that the transaction fee is paid by the sender. If I am donating to Mozilla then I send my cryptocurrency, pay the required fee and then Mozilla gets the sum I sent. In this case bitpay take 1% of the donation and probably bundle them all up and pay Mozilla at the end of the week/month in cryptocurrency (1 transaction so only 1 fee) or in fiat.
Yes, you are basically out of luck. Apartment complexes in the Bay Area are generally built on lots that are, for one reason or another, undesirable for single-family homes.
