I’ve heard that pickups got so big in the past decade or so because of Obama-era emission regulation. A bigger truck was classified differently and not subject to such strict guidelines, so when the old 3/4 and 1-ton trucks couldn’t possibly meet the new rules they got bigger to get around them.
I worry that researchers will use one strain in their studies and incorrectly assume marijuana is not able to produce the desired effect. I don’t use it anymore, but in the past I was hyper sensitive to the strain I used and the effects couldn't be more different depending. To any researchers doing work on this, please account for this.

> Talking about taking away things that people like, like airplanes and red meat and gas stoves just get people up in arms. Start with the low-hanging fruit: crypto has no value except to speculators and criminals and tax evaders.

What distinction are you drawing here? Both flying and crypto have a handful of rabid fans who use them a lot (and seem to enjoy it) while most regular people barely think about them at all, except to get vaguely irritated when they hear them passing by.

(I'm in favour of punitively high taxes on both, FWIW)

Yes. But if you do that, then you need to be willing to fix new warnings (or ignore them) when you update dependencies. After all, if an update adds a new warning about something dangerous you are doing in your code, but shouldn't be, wouldn't you like to know about it?

Like many answers in life, hell is not coded in Java or JavaScript, hell is coded by other people coding in Java or JavaScript.

Some things in life just turn into hell when you ask for everyone’s interpretation (politics, government, programming). It’s not fried chicken which most people cant fuck up even if they tried. Stick the damn chicken in the fryer, and whether you over-do it or under-do it, it’ll be fine with some ketchup.

I imported from 1password. I found the following problems.

- Some items did not import correctly at all because the 1password export format did not quote values (CSV). This means that if I have a password with a comma in it, I get two broken entries. This is more of a 1password issue though.

- 2FA tokens did not import and would have to be manually reset. I guess this is to be expected though.

- Some fields had different names than bitwarden was expecting, so values were imported into the wrong destination and had to be manually corrected.

This was a while back so I'm not sure if anything has been improved.
I've really noticed that people rage that Javascript and npm removed so much of a barrier to tech.

Try publishing a dependency for Java. Now try doing it for JS.

Everyone was able to do highly concurrent workloads. Something that was extremely difficult before Javascript.

Sure, this use of "cringe" in the adjective position is Gen-Z (I guess) and in a way itself "cringe". But overall I found the sentence to be (while clearly a run-on) perfectly readable.

Saying the president of El Salvador is ‘cringe’ is so low effort it’s insulting.

So you're reading a would-be BuzzFeed clone site called "Futurism" and you're surprised to find your intelligence insulted?

“testserver4.mycorp.example” (no trailing dot) is not fully-qualified and as such could refer to any number of things of differing identities, e.g. “testserver4.mycorp.example.atthomenetwork.com”.

On the other hand, “testserver4.mycorp.example.” (trailing dot) is fully-qualified and is not an ambiguous identity.

Driving is absolutely avoidable. Being willing to drive might help you get a better job - but so might being willing to drink.

(Far more importantly, drinking is actually enjoyable, whereas commute-style driving is a chore. Considering a job to be somehow more important than a social occasion is putting the cart before the horse)
Yes, I would strongly agree that Hobbes' Leviathan is worth reading for its own sake but also it's an aboulte must if one is interested in or studying Western philosophy as it holds a key place in the canon of philosophical works.

In my view the Leviathan is an accessible work even for those who've never previously studied other philosophical works, and as you say, its prose is beautiful. Also, I find the way Hobbes lays out his thinking quite logical and the order of his chapters reflect that.

As others have mentioned, the Leviathan was written at the height of the English Civil War. The state of unrest no doubt forced Hobbes to examine a broader more expansive view of the world - of law, politics and affairs of state than he may otherwise would have in more peaceful times.

It seems to me that one should be familiar with the Leviathan before moving onto say John Locke and other Enlightenment thinkers.
Is there anything in the article or the supposed architecture that leads you to believe it is inefficient? Might we suspect that using multi-tenant cloud resources may take advantage of economies of scale and be quite efficient?
There is robust data that the risk of first-hand smoke is not a linear relationship between cancer (and other bad stuff) and dose--no amount of smoking is safe.

To be frank you are uninformed on basic statistics as well as medicine.

You are doing the standard thing that many educated people do when they think they are smarter and more informed than they are. You dress up a bad take as if you found some secret (CDC's hypocritical language) and assume that a mathematical relationship exists ("obviously exposure to bad stuff carries linear risk"), when it is actually more complex than that (if we can call a binary relationship more complex than linear lol).

Root Insurance cuts 330 jobs, citing pandemic strain
I wish it were acceptable to complain about stinky purfumes and body sprays. They fill the air with volatile organic compounds. Plenty of people are happy to chuck on something smelly while hypocritically complaining about other types of smells. Some cause allergies (hayfever) in me to the point I have to leave an enclosed space or suffer consequences. I know friends that get headaches from them.
It's not pseudo-profound. It goes to the heart of what social behaviour is and provides another angle for interpreting the personal experiences shared by the researchers. There's nothing shallow about it.
Agreed it’s impossible to hash out new ideas over videoconferencing. It’s so slow and grainy! Who can actually break new ground without other people nattering in the same room? Not everyone has even a 56k modem! Sharing germs and viruses is an absolute requirement. And if I can’t have a chance meeting with you at a wate rcooler to discuss what happened on Jay Leno last night, how can I can possibly start new initiatives?

I mean, I get why in-office work is unpopular, but for some tasks/jobs I think it can work well. So far, if you need to set up furniture or infect with other humans with your viruses and assorted bacteria and sometimes exchanging feces on our hands because we don’t wash them properly, nothing replaces being in the same room.
He’s mad about the lack of text next to the start menu items.

Myself I finally caved and told it to move the start button back to the left corner. It’s just so much easier to flick your wrist back there and click than to figure out where in the center-left it is currently. I did almost get myself wired to hit the actual keyboard start button more though.

Many things we did early on were of dubious value. I used to wear gloves in the grocery store. Totally pointless. I still know people who are anxious about getting takeout, so they microwave / reheat all their food, "just in case" it has covid.
Many countries (Japan, India) have used therapeutics prior to hospitalization. In the states therapeutics have been demonized as "horse medicine" and people have been told to say home and take NyQuil until their oxygen levels are so critically low they have to be admitted.

There has been a myopic focus on vaccines and they have performed by any estimation terribly. Any questioning this no matter how qualified are instantly demonized as anti-science. How many lives could have been saved if all options were on the table? Instead we see censorship on a level most of us never even thought possible.
There’s a great take on the economics of web3 by Matt Levine on Bloomberg:

https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2022-01-19/washin...

> “This is, essentially, a pyramid scheme,” said Dror Poleg in an infamous post about Web3... “A Ponzi. But it makes sense. It will be the dominant marketing method of the next decade and beyond.” I don’t like it! But I am not confident that he’s wrong.

Web3/crypto reminds me of those early 2000s Hummers. Before they came out I thought they were stupid as fuck, wasteful, and a poor sign of the times. I was right.
> Apple doesn't have the authority to shut down Meta's business.

This is a silly statement that has nothing to do with reality.

Apple has the right not to be forced to work for Meta.

If people want Meta so much, they can choose an android device, or Meta can license Android themselves.
I have a couple of S1 MP3s but I haven't seen a new one in 15 years, and the old S1 MP3 hacking community has died. Moreover I don't know where to source the chips. Similarly, I have no idea where to source the TI-83 calculator chips; does TI even sell them to third parties at all? How much power do they use?
For nearly everybody who is not European trying to send money to other Europeans, cryptocurrencies are the easiest way to make international payments. For example, I have at various times sent money from the US to Turkey, with bitcoin I was able to send the money with very low fees and it arrived in under an hour. To the best of my knowledge crypto is the cheapest and fastest way to send my friend money, though as transaction fees fluctuate we have occasionally changed which currency we use.

So, "not one has produced anything of use to real people" should be amended to "not one has produced anything I personally consider useful".

How can you be so sure that you are correct, and that the people willing to invest $12.75B are incorrect?
So would this be a form of "virtue signaling"?
I think there’s good political backing for DAC because it’s a solution that doesn’t really interfere with power structures. The issue is we have limited capacity on the CC infrastructure side, not the energy side. If we had the CC infrastructure you could already sell CC credits in California.
Welcome to English!

Infamous refers to something that is "well known for being bad!". A classic example would be a (well known) pirate! If the tax you are talking about is bad (I'm pretty sure it is) and well known (also, yes), then "Infamous" is a fine word to use

Notorious is a similar word - well known for something bad

Famous works if it isn't bad, but it usnusually used for people, and I would imagine "the highest threshold" of well-known stuff - so expect people to argue with you: "I haven't heard of X, so it must not be famous!"

Renowned and prominent are fine alternatives to "famous"

My personal favorite is Preeminent- which carries the notion of "#1 best". "My king is the Preeminent leader" - there is NO OTHER leader that can be king

Again, welcome to English, enjoy your stay!

This article is about providing IaaS for free, and isn't that anti-competitive? The big cloud providers and Heroku do it, and I think it makes it a bit harder for OVH, vultr, hetzner and others who don't provide freebies like this.

I had a VPN buster bot on an IRC channel I was moderating because of some persistent troll who kept switching between every VPN that is out there.

Apart from using a deny list that you can find on Github, you just look at the size of the subnet the IP is coming from in WHOIS output. VPN IP adresses are part of very small subnets unlike legit ISP ip addresses that come from wide subnets

Serverless pricing model doesn't have to be transferred to your customers.

If you know them well and their usage patterns, you can predict with confidence how much each customer will cost you. With granularity to the level of a feature or even a particular action.

This allows for extremely precise and safe unit economics planning. I couldn't be happier with this benefit from serverless.

In a server-based infra you have many fixed costs: servers themselves, unused capacity, and your time to maintain it, which is certainly expensive, since it competes with attention to the product or maybe sales and customer support.
I was racking my brain trying to figure out how they did PCI over USB 2 and then just had the modem show up as a USB device. Maybe USB-C would have made some sense, sorta. Had no idea that the mini-pci-e connector could also just be used for USB.

That's what I had assumed but wanted to double check since "accessible" is ambiguous. However, it's not all that convincing of an argument. Several languages are installed as easy as a browser is. And loading a local file, such as code included with a book, in the developer console quickly goes beyond accessible.
I'll bet there's a version on the app store within a month.
This nearly $13B could fund hundreds of thousands of failed restaurants. The cool thing about a failed restaurant is that while it's operating, people have jobs and other people get fed. Failed restaurants have positive externalities. Other failed business ventures at least give people jobs. But this? It's just gambling.
If that's all it takes to put web3 at risk...
Can that completely hide that real sender (me@gmail.com) without setting up a SMTP server? Seeing "me@gmail.com on behalf of me@example.com" or ending up in spam would be a deal breaker.
And that's the biggest doublespeak lie about it.

The web is already open and decentralized by its very design, and that openness and decentralization is a major reason for its incredible success.

Web3 people want that stuff not to work. They want you to be unable to right-click save. You can already openly save, modify, and share images. Web3 people want to lock it down and charge you for memes.

It is the biggest, greediest grift in recent memory. If you are working on this, don't be fooled by all the empty words about "decentralization"; you are working on DRM for giant hedge funds who are trying to take over and own the entire web. Its current openness is their enemy.
This is true, but we aren't going to bill per request. We really can't, since we support arbitrary UDP and TCP services.

I don't really want to promise anything we haven't shipped yet. But my perfect cloud service (a) charges me when VMs are alive and (b) gives me the tools I need to create/remove/stop/start/suspend/resume VMs based on either network activity or metrics.

One flaw of Fly.io right now is that it's relatively expensive to run a side project in 10+ regions. Most apps benefit from 10+ regions, but $50/mo to try it out is prohibitive. We want to make this more accessible.
The "selling" point of web3 is that it turns the users themselves into VCs and promises them if they buy in early on something that takes off, they'll get rich. Like if the first 100,000 users of Facebook or Uber got a share of the company.

In practice this basically just incentivizes users to treat web3 projects as if they were a MLM schemse and sell them as hard as possible to anyone who will listen.

Plenty of people like this setup for obvious reasons, but it's virtually indistinguishable from a pyramid scheme wrapped in a layer of technical jargon.
