Social media (twitter), dating apps, job site profiles (skill accreditation NFT's), "metaverses" (probably overlaps with social media), the ability to even get into a given group chat (NFT required for access).

Just think of NFT's as a digital receipt (incl. tickets or club membership), certificates and then think of use-cases where proving that you have one of those would be useful. Of course you can argue that the entire blockchain aspect isn't necessary but that's a different conversation. Or if this is a good thing or not.

Also, are click through agreements really binding? Imagine if the terms said “by visiting, you agree to pay us $100,000 in 12 months”
Worth noting, for many people there is a significant difference in experience with edibles vs smoked/vaped weed.

My recommendation is to not overthink it. If you're curious at all, go spend $7 on a single pre-roll, light it up, and try it out. There's plenty of unpleasant-ness in it for a first timer, but if you like being high, then you'll probably want to do it again.

Dosing for smoking is pretty easy; take a few puffs and wait ten minutes. If you don't feel what you want, take a few more puffs. You don't need to understand your mg dose unless you become pretty habitual

> Banks do not take money from other accounts to cover operating losses

Banks don't keep money segregated in accounts.

Banks have reserves, and accounts basically record the right of people to draw money.

When they cover a fraud loss from one account by increasing the balance for that account to make the owner whole, they are doing exactly what crypto.com would be doing. Neither involves taking balances from others accounts, but both increase the risk of inability to cover accounts (including those of other people) as a result. Now, yes, banks provide consumers with more protection against the risk this creates, and are regulated in ways which make them less likely to do it to an extent which would create as much risk as a hype driven crypto exchange in the first place, but in terms of the basic mechanics, it is not any different than what has been suggested.

The model of money actually being held segregated in an account works for things like lawyers holding client funds and a very few other specific things, but it doesn't really capture what goes on with banks at all.
This is one of the very few times I agree with an online assertion that money laundering is a plausible explanation.
You need to explicitly allow a site to access a device, it should pop up a dialog and ask the first time you initiate it: https://web.dev/usb/

You've got the same trust problem for any other exe you download and run though. Any steam game you play could reprogram your device to show profanity for example.
>Not the specific issues you mention, but the problem with this approach is that just occasionally "blatant lies" turn out to be true.

More often than not. Just look at the politicization of COVID. In the last couple of months we have seen a complete 180 on messaging around the lab leak theory, the vaccines don't prevent infection after all, vaccines don't prevent spread by the vaccinated after all, CDC director admitting that at least 40% of COVID hospitalizations weren't because of COVID but because people went to the hospital with something else why also happening to have COVID...

I could go on. All things that would get you "fact checked" just a few months ago (and hell probably still will get this post flagged). It's nuts.

If you really want to get angry just do some searching on Japan and the much maligned horse dewormer. Millions of people sentenced to hospitalization when there are multiple treatments that we know (now and then!) that could have prevented them? Many of these "fact checkers" were (and still are) in the middle of peddling politically motivated BS instead of actual science.

People are literally dying because of it - and still folks here are advocating for better fact checking. Simply amazing...

> This company is literally at the apex of the crypto industry

Cryptocurrency was not even supposed to have these pseudobanks called exchanges leading this space. It wasn't even supposed to be an "industry".

People were supposed to mine cryptocurrency on their own commodity hardware and use that to transact amongst themselves.
You mean that being on call all the time and responsible for deciphering why someone else’s service broke and fixing it is a draining occupation? Who could have predicted that?

I feel like I’m personally in an awkward position. I’ve fought both for and against SRE-type teams at one point or another. While every company I have ever worked for has had some good developers, they’ve always had awful DevOps that never seemed to know or accomplish anything.

I honestly don’t think any of the DevOps mindset works long-term, just like “full stack” developers doesn’t.
This might all be true, but it's independent of waning demand and overinflated share price that tanked (why CNBC really cares). The real story is even good products can reach saturation. It will probably happen to even iPhone. If you take a step back and look at any business as a growth machine, you have to ask where the growth is going to be. You can say they are a better software company or content company, but that really only extends them into a hyper competitive space. There is an infinite amount of choice with software. It really boils down to the hardware + software combination that gives them unique value in the market. The trouble is a single purpose product with a single purpose subscription is very tough. You need a really strong use case. Kindle unlimited has "reading" as a use case. XBox game pass has "pc gaming" as a use case. These are all pretty substantial use cases. Probably bigger than biking indoors. And yet, even those subs are going to have a long and slow growth curve over their existing bases.

EDIT: I mean saturation in the context of pull forward demand due to covid. Not saturation in that people will stop buying. There is always upgrade cycles.

I realized recently that some people have a view of education that is much more competition-oriented than my default worldview. E.g. the set of parents who want to make sure their kids do well relative to all the other kids in order to have a higher chance of success in the competitions later on in life (college, jobs, social status, wealth).

Fairness (in the sense of trying to create a level playing field and make sure nobody has unfair advantages) is important to the extent that something is a competition.

This means people who see education as competition will care about fairness - either they will want things to be truly fair or they will want any unfairness to be in their favor.

So from this point of view, special classes for kids who are already doing better can be seen as an unfair advantage (especially because there's plenty of real bias involved in determining which kids actually end up on those classes).

I think we need to fix the biased selection process and make it more possible for more kids to benefit from advanced learning opportunities, especially kids whose parents don't have the resources to take them out of public school to do something more individualized.
My predition is that within 5 years there won't be "PC gaming" - it'll all be cloud rendering. And within 5 years it'll be an even split between screens and goggles.

When you operate in a commodity business you want to impede the market's price discovery mechanism (in this case by making it harder for prices to be aggregated).

The same issue and battle is playing out for US healthcare as well due to the recent rule forcing hospitals to make prices public.
In typical EU cities the default housing option is a small 2 bedroom / 1 bath flat. That makes it awkward to have more than one child. Admitting more immigrants further increases competition for very limited housing supplies. Building more housing in those cities would probably be a good idea but realistically it's not going going to happen on any large scale.

Unlikely. Explicitness and the binding between the code you see with the eyes and the keys on the keyboard shouldn’t be violated IMHO. Ligatures add ambiguity (“what’s this symbol?

Yes. A few years ago decentralized exchanges did not exist, now one of the largest exchanges is fully decentralized..Obviously simple payments could always be made in a decentralized way but creating actual applications wasn't possible until recently.
Earmarking revenue just gets worked around. If an agency's budget is $100M from the general operating budget, and $20M earmarked revenue suddenly comes in to that agency, their share of the general operating budget will simply be reduced to $80M.

It's the same reason why lottery revenue or (in California) bond approval propositions are typically earmarked for "noble causes" (schools, firefighters, parks...). It's a cheap promise to make, and the share of general operating revenue allocated to these departments can quietly decrease as lottery or bond financing replaces it, completely working around the spirit of the earmarking.

It sounds trivial to say but control of budgeting decisions is obtained through control of budgeting decisions; earmarking constraints are just accounting games to make spending more palatable to taxpayers.
You're misunderstanding. I was responding to the idea that simply shutting of the mains will protect from burst pipes. It wouldn't; all it would do is trap the water inside the existing pipes with no outlet. Completely draining (and potentially backfilling antifreeze into sumps) will protect pipes however but that was not what was being suggested by my reading. That said homeowners in this sort of situation may not have pipes built to completely drain anyway; nor would they necessarily want to as that would have a negative impact on sanitation.
Interesting. I was updating it once a day or so and this still happened.
Laws, at least in many European countries, are prefaced with a preamble, introduction, or Vorwort, that explains a bit of the history, the motivation, the underlying principles, the philosophy, the practicality, and the guidelines for interpretation of that law. The words, as written, are not to be taken, in any case literally. Moreover, a literal interpretation contradicting the spirit of the law is unlawful, and that is one of the principles of many legal systems. Using a loophole that contradicts the law is unlawful; imagine the law says you have the right to water your plants in your balcony; however, you only do it when the neighbor below is sitting at their balcony with the intention to bother them: you are abusing the law and committing an unlawful act.

Curl is kind of the swiss army knife of the web so I don't think a long manpage is out of line.

Yeah, no. We had this fight when Obamacare was being hammered into shape. Universal didn't happen because conservatives in both parties refused to do anything other than say "the poor can go to emergency rooms for treatment".

Now, it's a bit more complicated than that, and single payer was never on the table because Obama decided to pre-capitulate in the futile hope of being able to tag the ACA as bipartisan, but it's only gotten worse. If a literal global pandemic doesn't bring people to their senses, I'm not sure what will. There's just too much money being funneled to incentivize our politicians to do the wrong thing (Sinema being an obvious example).

The genetics of modern Italians show absolutely no trace of the immigrants we know were present in Rome. Any impact left by the population of Rome was indistinguishable from the existing genetics of the Italian countryside at the time, but we know that the actual population of Rome was very different from that of the Italian countryside.

From a genetic perspective, cities are just somewhere you go to die.

It only "made it out" because (thankfully) not all communication has yet to be fully gatekept through "fact checkers".

In the world you are advocating for it would have never made it out.

If that doesn't scare the utter crap out of you I would strongly advocate you are GROSSLY ignorant of history and need to do some serious learning - especially about how a certain party in Europe happened to come to power before world war II. And if you don't think what we are going through right now isn't a precursor on that level - again do some serious reading (preferably from books with copyrights before the 1990s and not online) about the rise of said party. The parallelism going on right now is pretty breathtaking when you stop and really look around.
> which is to have a central data store that then is persisted between changes to the view code that generates a view from that store

You may think of it that way conceptually but the language and VM don't think of it that way. It's all just objects in memory in the heap. Architecturally, there's no real separation between persisted and non-persisted state.

> Does the app crash? Or does it automatically restart with a fresh slate (maybe this falls under the "some kinds of structural changes that necessitate a full restart that wipes state away" you mentioned)? Or is the change ignored?

I'm not an expert on the details, but I think it simply won't do the hot reload if it determines that it can't do so safely. It's up to the user to then choose to do a full restart and wipe the state if they want.

In the absence of a legally enforceable vaccine mandate that does not allow for medical exemptions, no. It's more of "at your own risk."

ESPHome uses WebSerial[2] to flash microcontrollers via the browser, saving the user from having to install a whole development environment and whatnot to do the initial firmware upload.

Super slick from a user POV, just connect the device via USB cable and hit the flash button.
