High input prices cause inflation, inflation causes central banks to tighten monetary policy, tight monetary policy causes financial crashes as the cash flows of assets are evaluated against higher discount rates.
The point is that the proprietary software has no access to the RAM or CPU and plays absolutely no role whatsoever in the device usage. I personally agree that it can be called "hardware" and don't care that it has another CPU.

The baseband is on the upgradable M.2 card, also has no access to anything. It can even be killed with a hardware switch. The best smartphone you can find if you care about it. Nobody says that other blobs are fine, but it's already a huge step to the freedom.
I hope Zero Knowledge proofs become widespread over the next decade to prevent having to give companies your data. With them you'll be able to prove you earn over X amount without actually letting them know what you earn.

But, we are doing this -- en masse. I get your jist, though.
Thing is that conventional farming, as you call it, and startups have a lot of in common. The goal is not to earn a tidy profit each year, but instead to build up massive capital for one huge payday when you get bought out. I suspect nobody really cares to see a profitable mid-sized farm as that kind of misses the appeal of farming. If you just want a steady income there are much better paying and less stressful jobs out there.
Particularly poignant for today:

Most farms are "family" owned but perhaps OP was trying to communicate that nowadays farm owners are rarely farm workers?

I get that feeling, too. My general comment is that web back-end stuff should be written in Go. Go is designed for exactly that. Goroutines are lightweight but preemptable, so you don't have the async vs. thread problem at all. There's only one way to do it. Most of the Go libraries you need for web back-end are well-exercised, because they were written at Google and are used internally.

Writing in Rust takes more engineering effort and is less agile. You can code yourself into a corner which requires considerable rewriting, or unsafe code, to escape.

What I'm writing in Rust is a metaverse client. These are not common yet. They have both the real-time problems of a game client and the unexpected content-driven loads of a web browser. The goal is to keep the frame rate constant as a stream of update transactions comes in, perhaps hundreds per second. The transactions modify the scene graph and change what's on screen. So refresh is in one high-priority thread, while updating is in other low priority threads. Overload bursts happen routinely and have to be dealt with, updating near and large things first. In MMOs, such overloads are usually detected and prevented during game design, but a metaverse viewer does not have that luxury. Existing clients tend to choke and stall on overload, but with enough CPUs working on the problem, that can be overcome.

It's a fun problem. It doesn't have the shape of most common applications.

If it can be updated by the user, even if the source code is not available, it is freer than if it cannot. Because then users can actually see the code, reverse engineer it, audit it, know they are running the exact version they expect, and potentially replace it with a free one.

This concept that "if it's in ROM and cannot be updated it's not software, it's hardware" is asinine, against actual practical freedom for users, and also a net security negative. This whole rhetoric that updatability matters, or that somehow lack of source code means "only the manufacturer can update it" and that somehow "makes things less free for users" needs to stop. Users are still in control of updates, the thing isn't magically phoning home (corner cases of stuff with network access notwithstanding). Having access to the blob is a net positive on all fronts for users. This whole policy keeps trying to use this excuse as a rationale, but the reality is the only thing it achieves is convincing people that they aren't running blobs at all by condoning devices where the blobs aren't evident to users because they're not in their filesystem.

This was all brought to its logical extreme of silliness with the Librem 5, which actively engineered an obfuscation mechanism for their RAM training blob to put itself in compliance with RYF, for absolutely no benefit to users: it's still running the same blob as it would've otherwise, and it's still updatable (you can even ignore the entire obfuscation and just flash your own bootloader that does it the normal way).
It's a cultural legacy of the old businesses that were human intensive. Now there is a lot of use of technology that is harder to see from the outside.

Yes, it originated there, though I guess it didn't last very long. It's a common rhetorical tactic used by partisans on the right - use the other side's own terminology to describe it, always with a tone of disgust, and repeat it until the sound of it becomes grating. "Social Justice Warrior" was similarly exclusively used by people describing their own political convictions when I first encountered the term.
> Vaccination reduces infection severity and length. Reduced infection severity reduces coughing, which reduces spread.

In practice this shouldn't make a difference, because anyone with a cough should stay home, but it's be a problem in the US where you're not guaranteed paid sick days. In Europe not so much, although there are currently problems with a lot of people not working due to being at home with Omicron, but that's temporary.

All in all it's an excellent situation. The hospitals are a bit under pressure now due to everyone running for tests, but it'll subside - after January things should be more or less back to normal (relatively speaking), if people want it to be (which I doubt).

And since kids have never played any significant part in this, mandating vaccines for them just seems like an act of foolish desperation.

I interviewed someone referred by my manager. He had 10 years working at one company and had probably not interviewed in over a decade. It was a pretty poor interview and I recommended no hire.

I was mentally preparing myself to agree with Sonos on something, but apparently the patent in question is for being able to adjust the volume on a group of speakers instead of having to adjust each speaker individually. It seems ridiculous that this is patentable at all. It seems like the sort of usability feature that would take five minutes to design and perhaps get implemented before lunch. Am I missing something here?
Maybe, as it says, "The survival rate is about 10%" even though large numbers of people experience cardiac arrest in a clinical setting where they had defibrillators for years. Lots of Cardiac Arrest incidents aren't survivable, if your heart actually stopped they can't do anything about that. But without measuring (the first step the AED takes) you can't tell whether the heart is stopped or merely stuck twitching and not pumping blood, in the latter case the defibrillator may fix that, hence the name.
Usually in those cases, even if you make mistakes they get accepted. The larger the clicks, the less annotated / voted those images are, thus less severe their penalization method for wrong markings. I have observed sites that newly introduce such captcha basically accept if I just click 1/3rd of the right answers. Don't click the wrong answers as they are fully/partially introduced on purpose. It's just that you don't have to click all right answers.
That's presumably the default in the US too, but the workaround is for companies to have you agree to some fine print, which nobody reads. When you request a mortgage quote, submit a job application, submit a credit card application, etc., they just bury in there "you're agreeing give us permission to use your SSN to verify the information you've given" and they're golden.

The only way around would be some regulation like GDPR, but then we end up with something like cookie banners that are only annoying and don't give you a reasonable option to opt out. Just like if you want to get a mortgage, you can't opt out if every single lender does it.
This is part of the problem with the argument around hospitals being overrun. People don't have any context with what it means.

In reality it's not hospitals being 110% maxed out. It's hospitals inching closer to capacity at 80, 85, 90% which then requires hospital workers to start taking into account triage. It means elective surgeries and people that don't need help right now end up getting pushed back, even if they still need help that day or will die.

Daniel Wilkinson died as a result of not getting treatment for something that is very easily treatable in a hospital [1] during the last wave. Multiple hospitals across multiple states couldn't admit him. This is what it means when the healthcare system crumbles: People start dying from otherwise treatable problems.

There is a lot of game theory behind why people mine a PoW cryptocurrency. Attempts to quantify “CO2 per transaction” are fundamentally flawed in my opinion.

Bitcoin’s pollution is not strongly correlated with its transaction volume.

It’s a famous rare collectible. People will mine it whether there is a high volume of transactions or not.

We're sexually dimorphic, but linguistic gender is not based on biological sex, and sex identification is merely one of a literally infinite number of potential bits of information that one may wish to convey with language. The fact that an attractive woman in her reproductive prime is referred to with the same pronouns as your grandmother and the Titanic is indicative of how useful pronouns are for identifying who may be mating.

I agree with the premise of this blog post. But there are downsides to having a small team. We're a bootstrapped startup with 15 employees. When we lose an employee (sickness, termination, voluntary) it really hurts us. We have a 3 person sales team. One sales person down means a 33% loss in our pipeline. When our accountant is out, that's the entire department.

50-100 seems like the sweet spot for having enough coverage in responsibilities and spreading risk. But maybe we'll get there and it will still feel like we don't have enough people.
Almost but not quite.

I listen to one of two audiobooks. They are books I've read half a dozen times, so it's more about comfort and consistency. There's the added bonus that I don't have any worry about missing anything if I forget to set a sleep timer. I prune my normal podcast feed regularly so the only podcasts I have are ones I don't want to miss any details

1. "Dune" and "Sandman" are the two I listen to the most, both are really well produced ensemble casts. For actual podcasts (not used for sleep), I enjoy The Intelligence from the Economist, Writing Excuses, Hardcore History, 20,000 Hz, 99% Invisible, and all the ubiquitous NPR Podcasts that focus on storytelling. I would say all but the first two podcasts mentioned might be good podcasts to relax to.

2. For normal podcasts I use PocketCasts, for audiobooks I just default to audible or Libby (Libby/Overdrive have increased my library usage 10-fold). If I have to worry about waking someone else up, I just use a single bluetooth earbud on the side I don't sleep on- otherwise my phone just plays from it's charging dock.

This comment thread is very quickly going to become a discussion about software patents in general, however in this case it worth also looking at the history of the case. My understanding is that Google partnered with Sonos back in 2013 to bring Google Play to Sonos speakers, during that partnership Google basically milked Sonos for info on how their platform worked in order to compete with them.

I suspect that the outcome of this where Google devices have to have volume controlled individually isn't due to a patent on that specific functionality, but due to something with the inter-speaker communication system that Sonos pioneered (multiple wireless speakers playing sound in sync with each other, with no audible delay). Google will have had to change how they have speakers talk to each other and the side effect is the lack of group volume control.

A patent on "speaker group volume control" I agree would be silly, but a parent on a wireless control system and protocol for multiple speakers that can be grouped together is far less so.
So while I'd agree that no-till/rotational farming is superior in many many ways, and while I would very much like to see its wide-scale implementation, I also note your final line:

>as long as you're not financially dependent on planting your entire acreage every growing season.

which to me suggests that it isn't "lazy/ignorant" farmers, but rather farmers who are economically entangled in the current system.

Maybe the place to start would be objecting to i.e. Monsanto, or to producer demands such as McDonalds who require only a certain kind of potato grown under certain kinds of conditions (so all the fries look the same).

You're not going to get cheap transactions using Bitcoin or Ethereum directly.

There are two wallets that are using newer tech to make cheap + fast transactions happen (while still being decentralized + secure):

- Argent - Uses zkSync which is an L2 that compresses transactions and writes them to Ethereum - costs about 25c per transaction right now.

- Dharma - Uses Polygon which is it's own chain that posts a hash of everything that happened to Ethereum at regular intervals - costs < 1c per transaction right now .

I find that forcing developers to record and publish every little mistake they made along the way has bigger downsides than the upsides of being able to follow along with their thought processes as a branch or PR evolves.

Similarly, I don't really care how many times you merged main in the course of developing on a branch. Those commits are just noise to me.

As long as only a single developer is working on a branch at once, I'm very comfortable with them treating commits as a work in progress, then doing an interactive rebase before merging to main to clean things up.

Even in the case where multiple devs are working on a feature branch, as long as they're coordinating properly (and using safeguards such as `git push --force-with-lease`), I find more value in having tidy, organized commits at merge time than a full history of the development process.

Highly recommend watching Russle Barkley's videos about ADHD.
A solution that works wonders for me, after watching Barkley and inspired by "Pact of Punishment" in the game Hades, is to set a penalty for myself.
E.g. for everyday that I don't do a leetcode problem I will pay my partner 50 bucks. Thats a painful enough amount for me.
I must add that this doesn't work for things in future, meaning in 3 months if I don't lose 5lbs I will pay 200 dollars; ADHD brain does not understand time well. Instead it should be planned out and executed in short time periods, daily or shorter. For instance: for every meal that I overindulge I will pay X. For everyday I don't go for a walk I will pay.
This requires integrity and a partner who likes their money ;)
If I get a PR to review I want the set of commits to be clean and represent logical changes. No “oops” commits.

What’s more, I also want only commits that relate to the feature implemented on the branch. Preferably no merges from the parent branch.

To get zero oops commits requires squashing in the branch. Note that this is independent of whether the branch is merged or squashed when the PR is completed. Squashing 10 branch commits to 3 is the important step. If those 3 are squashed to a single on the target branch is less important and is a tradeoff.

As a developer I’ll not care to maintain build/testable code on feature branches, which is my main reason for usually squashing to the target branch. For larger changes I merge (after cleaning up and interactively rebasing), but git bisect will have to use —first-parent to work.
If you are saying that 50% of the energy input is from nitrogen, and if the most economical means of supplying nitrogen is from fossil fuel sources, such that the vast majority of it originates from fossil fuels, then wouldn't it be the case that nearly 50% of the energy input of the system is from fossil fuels?

How would this input be "several fold less" than the energy output of the system?
