I don’t think this deserves to be downvoted. Crypto is an asset class. During uncertainty and sell offs almost all assets sell off in tandem due to either deleveraging or flight to safety (of cash), and crypto isn’t special here.

Over long horizons, the argument that crypto is a hedge against inflation or weakened purchasing power of fiat currency makes sense. But during acute corrections that matters very little, especially since very few people are actually paying for real world goods using crypto.
Zombo.com stopped Firefox development for a day back in, oh, 2011 or so. Somebody noticed that new tests were failing and the tree ended up being closed for new commits while the problem was investigated. Turns out that a month or so prior someone added a test that loaded zombo.com, and the site had gone down. This may not have been a coincidence, as all the racks of test machines had been running that test nonstop and effectively DDoSing zombo.com for a month.

Anyway, that's why the test servers are now firewalled.

SawStop. You can expect suddenly a lot of tool manufacturers who would have assured you ten years ago that this technology is either dangerous or compromises the saw's usefulness, will over the next ten years offer substantially the same features as the first patents run out.
I have read the standard, and I don't believe your comment to be true. Can you point out the exact section that backs up what you're saying? (And if you say the "compiler mafia" did remove it, then can you point to an older version that says it?)
Have you considered the long history of racist misuse of science and its "just asking questions" defenders?
Commenting to save; this is prime advice right here.
It is not. The mercury in (some, but not all or even most, these days) vaccines is ethyl mercury. Here is an article that explains a bit more of the similarity with dimethyl mercury, though - they are both organic mercurials:

>Both ethyl mercury and Hg2+ are very neuro toxic compounds. However, ethyl mercury is more rapidly partitioned into the hydrophobic (fatty) tissues of the central nervous system and is a more potent neuro toxin than Hg2+ based on this “partitioning factor”. It is this partitioning factor that makes organic mercurials such as dimethyl mercury so neuro toxically lethal (this is the compound that caused the death of a Dartmouth University chemistry professor after she was exposed to a drop or two on her gloved hand).

>The concern with organic mercurials, such as thimerosal, is that such compounds can be perceived as “pro toxicants” just as certain pharmaceuticals can be classified as “pro drugs”. This means that the original compound, e.g. thimerosal, is less reactive giving the compound time to partition into certain areas of the body before it breaks down releasing the ethyl mercury and then further releasing Hg2+. However, while attaching ethyl mercury to thiolsalicylate makes the ethyl mercury less reactive it most likely allows increased partitioning into the central nervous system before the ethyl mercury is released and thereby, increases the neuro toxicity per unit ethyl mercury involved

Because carbon is the negative part of using fossil fuels? If this improves enough there could end up being no problem whatsoever with fossil fuels.

Wow, this is exactly the same type of computer (all-in-one Compaq Presario 486) that I first installed Linux on. Slackware 3.x, if I recall correctly, disk images downloaded at 14.4kbps and loaded onto every spare floppy I could find. I don't think I even got X11 going because that was a lot more disks!

Yes, but they are overengineering a simple problem. A mechanical bounce free switch is a no problem at all.
> Nobody's saying "tamper with the evidence to demonstrate favourable outcomes" here.

Yeah, so you have badly misread my point, and you're arguing against something completely unrelated to what I'm saying.

Of course you can add randomness to the results to hide individuals without messing with the results in aggregate. That's obvious, and I'm not disputing it. The issue is that that's a PR nightmare. Nobody here might be saying "tamper with it to change the outcome", but I guarantee you that people out wider media will accuse the CDC and Pfizer of doing exactly that. I can see the chyron now, "CDC ADMITS TO MANIPULATING DATA".

Organizations like the CDC need to think not just about how their message will be heard, but how it might be twisted and abused by bad faith actors. You are absolutely right about how you can safely introduce randomness, but you are completely wrong about how that will be handled by the public after bad faith actors get their hands on that fact.
That scenario doesn’t seem very sustainable. The other heart center can hire new doctors, or pay more wages or whatever. Does it really need legislation?

4. There are numerous technical reasons not to use it
It's a cash out opportunity for some but for others it's a medium of exchange. There are also quite a lot of ideological people.

If you believe that Bitcoin has a bright future and even may become a global currency, it's a bad investment move to sell your bitcoins at any time. Sure, you can argue that you can sell high and later buy more for less but that's timing the market and no one can actually reliably do that and as a result if someone believes that BTC will be huge in the future will never sell. When the mission is accomplished, they will use it as money to purchase goods and services.
Is this anything like the canonical distribution called microk8s? https://microk8s.io/

On the naming front, why is everyone calling it MicroX. There can be only one Micro. https://micro.dev
Do their records go public after a number of years (guessing many, like 50)? It would be interesting to have discussions like this enter the historical record and be available to researchers too.
As the first comment in this tree pointed out, it's not, in fact a "a carbon capture plant". It's an oil refinery with added facilities to capture the CO2 that the refinery emits. And now it turns out that it captures less than half of the overall emissions. Which is better than nothing, but not nearly good enough.

> isn't cpan pretty much the grandfather of "oh there's a library for that"?

The TeX CTAN in 1992 [1] was clearly the inspiration for CPAN a year or three later [2] (in both name & thing). So, maybe CTAN is the great grandfather? :-) { My intent is only to inform, not be disputatious. I know you said "pretty much". }

To be fair, C has an ecosystem. OS package managers/installers are a thing. There is surely a list of much >1 "core libs/programs" (terminfo/curses/some text editor/compilers/etc.) that would be in most "bare bones" OS installs upon which you could develop. One certainly depends upon OS kernels and device drivers. IMO, at least one mistake "language" package managers make is poor integration with OS package managers. Anyway you cut it, it is hard to write a program without depending upon a lot of code. Yes, some of that is more audited.

As the "lump" gets giant, dark corners also proliferate. There was a recent article [3] and HN discussion [4] about trying to have the "optimal chunkiness/granularity" in various ecosystems. I agree that it is doubtful we will solve any of that in an HN sub-to-the-Nth thread. I think that article/discussion only scratched the surface.

I will close by saying I think it's relatively uncontentious (but maybe not unanimous) that packaging has gone awry when a simple program requires a transitive closure of many hundreds of packages. FWIW, I also often write my own stuff rather than relying on 3rd parties and have done so in many languages. Nim [5] is a nice one for it. It's not perfect - what is? - but it sucks the least in my experience.

My issue is with you saying:

> legislative changes in order prevent that worse version from happening in the future.

I’m not convinced legislation achieve your goal having already seen HIPAA in action in law, the systems behind the scene, and the ways in which compliance works. Is it better than nothing? Sure! Does it actually create truly secure systems? I don’t think so.

If liabilities are severe where companies could go under or people go to jail, then I’m still not sure that would be enough to secure systems because you’re always a 0-day away from breach. But if the result is twitter going under or their CSO jailed, all I think that happens is you remove global competitiveness.

I agree with you more should be done. But perhaps in different ways. For example, requiring everyone to take basic security classes before you can be a software engineer might help. Creating societal incentives where bug bounties are required, white hats cannot go to jail or be sued, DARPA spends big on defensive security strategies, and stating the US will take cyber attacks the same as physical attacks are ways that I think would produce better outcomes (but would risk war).

Folding Dueling Knights – Origami Time-Lapse
Such a needlessly extreme example, sometimes it might mean just working on the backend after doing nothing but frontend for your career, sometimes it might mean not assigning a feature of a certain complexity to the person you know likely grasps it instantly and assigning it to someone who you're less sure about but wants to do more. It can be just as much about figuring out and cultivating the potential of your workforce and that can create greater efficiency over time. There are certainly opportunities where this can be accomplished, because if everything is mission critical, business itself is doing something wrong. The amount of opportunity and the nature of such will vary across businesses, and perhaps an engineer may need to go elsewhere to search out further challenge. Your statement that "Minimizing one challenge frees mental processing power to worry about bigger issues" presumes a level of uniformity.

> Basically getting paid at the same rate rather than an increased rate is repairable harm (by paying money if the nurses win), forcing downtime at their clinic is not.

It could matter. It just depends on how cheap your intervention is. If your intervention is cheap then you intervention will be worth pursuing even if it's saving people who will only live on average a couple more years. If your intervention is very expensive then it might not make much sense.

Small tanks are really difficult to manage. It’s possible to grow coral in a 1-2 gallon tank but it’s extremely difficult most people fail eventually.

5 gallons is like the minimum for a few small fish but 40-45 gallons is a really easy size to work with. Overfeeding, evaporation and overheating are going to be your top problems in small tanks.
Depends on the motivation ;)

I still have my Contura in a box in a closet. Along with a PCMCIA network card, the docking station and the 20MB RAM upgrade. Used it up until ~2010 when I got a similarly tiny and inexpensive EeePC. Was a nice small, cheap system that worked well enough as a dumb serial/telnet/ssh terminal for network management tasks. It was only a little bit slow to start an SSH session. Even started up fast with Linux or FreeBSD. OpenBSD was rather slow to boot.

I didn't have much reason to bother with X11. Text utilities always got the job done, including for web browsing needs thanks to links.
Yes it is. A betta should have a few gallons. Requirements depend on the fish species and the total number in the tank.

I’m not sure a bowl (even a big one) is appropriate for any species of fish.

>I love the aesthetics of that era so much: Efficient usage of screen space, clear borders between different elements - brings back happy memories!

the GUI design of this era was really something else, its hard to describe but the UIs felt so discoverable, the basic core features were presented up front and easy to use, intermediate features could be found in widgets surrounding the core UI, and a whole set of advanced features within the menus once you've mastered your surroundings. It's as if the UIs of the time were designed to create an efficient learning path, at the expense of some information overload when first using the application.
That common claim has a lot of asterisks/caveats, however: stress has many bad health effects and alcohol can reduce stress, but it does so while inducing many of the same phenomena that make stress dangerous (e.g. cardiac issues).
I had a fairly similar physical reaction to overwork, interestingly. Thankfully an ER tech took a bit of extra time to ask me if my stress levels had changed recently. This led to rapid re-evaluation of my life choices, and me quitting shortly afterwards.

The central question for Dynamicland is one of "media for thought," and therefore the specifics of this or that programming language (or "code") can't be that important.

What is important, however, is taking a more holistic approach to understanding how people think and how media can help in that process. People actually think with their whole bodies. There is a kinesthetic component to thinking that is important. Computing today -- be it the desktop or the tablet -- has given us tunnel vision in a sense.

I hope this gets rapidly overturned/reviewed. I don't understand how one company can be granted an injunction against another for hiring people who have left that company (based on the claim that it would hurt the previous company).

I liken it to being able to sue your competitor for buying the last widget in the open market that you also needed to manufacture your product. In what way is that an enjoin-able action?

But maybe my legal understanding is poor.

Cities are hard because it's kind of a function of services and space constraints. If there's only so many square meters within 15 minutes of public transit, for example, that's gonna spike prices--as long as public transit is desired. You can look at Los Angeles for a different set of rules--super sprawl, heavy prevalence of cars and traffic, various environmental/cultural concerns, etc. City planners know all this and the zeitgeist now is the 15 minute city (or whatever number of minutes) to try and reduce these inefficiencies of scale and become less car-obsessed.

But all that aside, I'm not really talking about housing prices. I'm talking about the boom and bust cycles.

But you are gatekeeping the phrase, to the point of taking the term so literally that it becomes devoid of meaning.

To me, “off grid” simply means being entirely self reliant for all aspects of your well-being, for a period of time.

Bobbing around in a tiny plastic boat in the middle of the enormous Pacific Ocean with literally no possibility of connection to any other human is just about as off grid as you can get on this Earth.

Just because they reconnect to the grid occasionally to top up and download, doesn’t invalidate this. The truth remains that they are “on-grid” far less than most of us.
I don't agree that societies don't reproduce. A society grows as its population of humans increases, and eventually the population grows large enough that it splits into multiple societies, e.g. the depletion of local resources via overpopulation leads to diasporas setting up new societies elsewhere, and these new societies tend imitate the familiar structures of the original society. IMO, that's reproduction.
