It's probably worth noting that Fra Luca Bartolomeo de Pacioli's dates are c. 1447 – 19 June 1517, shortly after Gutenberg and about 50--100 years after cheap papermaking (comparatively) first reached Europe.

It's hard to have double-entry bookkeeping without books.

I'm unsure if he used Arabic or Roman notation... Though the dedication page of Summa Mathematica in fact does include recognisable Hindu / Arabic numerals:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summa_de_arithmetica#/media/Fi...

Wikipedia's article has several illustrations, but none of the actual bookkeeping notation itself, which is ... a curious oversight. Continued on the double-entry bookkeeping article as well FWIW.

Inflation is a thing but the world is also much less classist, at least economically, today.

Back in my boomer parents era, my grandpa had to get a promotion for my boomer dad to afford expensive hobbies like photography or listening to 60s rock.

For my kids, hobbies are just clicking a free app on their school issued "free" tablet. Its hard for kids today to understand hobbies and lifestyle used to be very expensive and your participation depended on how much money your parents made.

It used be a sociological class thing, like on resumes and college applications being into home photography meant you were upper middle class for jobs and schools whom wanted to filter on that class membership. Now those hobbies mean a kid once tapped an icon on his phone, and has about the same hiring/application significance.

I would guess there are still mainstream-ish hobbies today that are still expensive, but I'm trying to think of what they are, if you cross off stuff cancelled by covid. I guess fandom of expensive streamed services, fandom for HBO netflix ESPN disney+ cbs streaming service shows is one of the few remaining ways to show off wealth in public. Fandom is kinda tacky anyway.

The wealth didn't need to go anywhere! That's kind of the point.

What's confusing is that pre-decline Rome, on the face of it, seems pre-modern in many ways, but this is just a simulacrum, because there was none of the productivity increases that underpin the modern world.

Example:

19th century London: big in part because there are lots of factories there!

100 AD Rome: big because of years of taxation routing grain there!

Yes, there was trade. Yes, cities did do a lot of self rule. Yes, the early government was pretty minimal. See Rostovtzeff for some fun with this. But there wasn't really much self-sustaining about the cities.

So back to the original question, there is no "stock" of wealth. The buildings are the results of wealth, not (perhaps baring things like aqueducts) the source of wealth. Without the political control over the many agricultural laborers and their output, the wealth just dissipates.

There is a lot more 0-sum stuff going on than the modern world, where conversely the positive-sum nature of things is not well appreciated.
The problem ist that USB-PD allows a lot of different voltages, and chargers have a different max current for each voltage. Many newer chargers are even programmable, where the source can request arbitrary voltages and currents.

Power supplies typically have supported voltages and currents printed on them, but in my experience the easiest way to figure out if it works is to just try it.

It used to be that you needed a large dataset and a custom architecture for each individual task. Now you can use a general model and a few examples, it will catch on much faster on what you want it to do. Sometimes it's just as simple as telling it in free language what the task is.

What took whole departments multiple years to achieve will become something regular people could do. We learned to live with internet and cell phones, we can learn to program AI that is by design especially easy to program.

> If we assume that lots of attention, licking, and grooming are the natural state of affairs and that lower levels of attention are a form of neglect, we can use this model to explore some of the biological consequences of neglect or abuse in children. Low rates of maternal attention decrease the production of thyroid hormone by the rat pups. This, in turn, decreases serotonin in the hippocampus and affects the development of receptors for the stress hormone glucocorticoid. Since corticosterone, one of our primary stress hormones, is kept in check by a complicated feedback mechanism that depends on these same stress hormone receptors, their inadequate development increases the risk of an excessive stress hormone response to adversity. For this and certain other reasons, lack of maternal attention predisposes the animals to have a heightened level of fear and a heightened adrenaline response. Some of the consequences of this are altered metabolism and suppressed immune and inﬂammatory responses, neuronal irritability, and enhanced susceptibility to seizures.

This is consistent with what I've read in the book Healing Developmental Trauma by Laurence Heller and Aline Lapierre:

“When, for a child, this need-satisfaction cycle is significantly interrupted, healthy development is disturbed, and the environmental failure triggers both tension and bracing in the musculature and activation and imbalances in the nervous system and biochemistry—all of which sets the stage for symptoms and disease. When basic needs are not met and the protest to get those needs met is unsuccessful, children come to feel that something is wrong with their needs; they cannot know that it is their environment that is not responding adequately. Therefore, they internalize caregiver failures, experiencing them as their own personal failures. Reacting to their caregivers’ failure to meet their needs, children come to feel various degrees of anger, shame, guilt, and physiological collapse. Tragically, to the degree that there is chronic lack of attunement to their core needs, children do not learn to attune to the needs within themselves. When basic needs are consistently left unsatisfied, the need-satisfaction cycle is interrupted, and nervous system dysregulation and identity distortions are set in motion that often have a lifelong negative impact.”
This seems like a much more effective nonviolent protest to me. You clearly don't like it, but maybe that's the power right there. Agree or not, you're thinking about it.
Is "bragging" really the motivation?

Because I don't understand what they are bragging about here.

Are they bragging about being a member of a class that can discard $500000 like it's nothing? Rather than donate it to a philanthropic cause? That the beneficiaries of charitable causes are outside their area of concern? That's nothing to brag about.

Maybe it's more about getting attention than bragging?
The label "Antiwork" doesn't representation the movement doesn't it?

It's really about fair labour, I don't think most people want to not work. I think most people want to work in exchange for a livable resource, be it wages, work/life balance, recognition, etc. There are plenty of people who are willing to work hard to have a mundane life. A simple car, a apartment/suburban home, an annual vacation, affordable healthcare, education for their kids, nothing extravagant.

The issue is today's corp slave trade their employees and it's at a point where it's not sustainable anymore.

Hence, IMHO, it's less about antiwork, but more about fair labour.
It's not just stuff and that is a cavalier dismissal of what is a huge problem.

> I would like to see more approaches like "why are people stealing stuff?", and I lean towards thinking that these people just don't have their basic needs fulfilled and they resort to crime.

They have their basic needs fulfilled. Crime is a way easier means to an end. They can make more selling stolen merchandise than they'd make in a 40 hour work week.

They steal stuff because it's thrilling and it's easy money.

Genuine question, not a comment on OPs implementation: What is the reason that people so often use some external service for creating task queues (often backed by some kind of db), instead of just implementing it themselves in whatever language they are using for the rest of their application?

Is it:
- They want persistence in case the system goes down, or the task queue service is restarted.

- They want to replicate their task queue service and want to be sure that the data is properly synchronized.

- The amount of tasks/time if simply too much for some standard library queues

- They think is is easier to add another dependency than implement it themselves

- something else

Roughly 30min ago there was music being played at 4625kHz in various receivers around Europe. Am I wrong in my understanding that if you can hear a radio signal, there is something being transmitted?

The only possible scenarios I can imagine where this is fake is either A) there is no transmission and the signal is somehow being directly injected into these WebSDRs who have all conspired; B) there are transmissions but they're very low-power and local near each WebSDR; or C) the transmission is actually coming from Russia's buzzer transmitter.

I find A to be extremely unlikely as it would require some kind of grand conspiracy. B might be possible with enough motivation but I fail to see one. C seems unlikely as I found the music's signal strength to vary differently based on location than the buzzer.

I tried to pick up the music with my own SDR at home and a shoddy antenna setup. I was able to pick up the buzzer and not the music, while some WebSDRs had loud music, so I don't consider C to be true. I do live in what could be a skip zone for the pirate's transmission.

If there is a critical error in my assessment, it would be helpful to point it out if you truly wish to curb this supposed misinformation.
That was the thing that bugged me at first, but other people on my team loved it. Some things bugged other people on my team, even though I love them. If a tool can manage to annoy everyone about the same amount, but in different areas, it’s doing something right.

And while it’s still kind of strange that `a = “foo”` looks different than `repr(a)`, after a while of using Black I don’t notice it anymore.
Try nero from PyPI instead, I’ll update it to this stable release shortly.
As far as I know current Python distributions are pretty available for older systems.
If a company sold me a device with a keylogger installed on I would never buy anything from that company again. I would also not let that device on my network, ever.
>It's not life-destroying because they "just" succeeded at getting him fired from one job, and weren't successful at getting him immediately fired from his new one?

It's not life-destroying because, as far as I'm aware, no one's life - including his - has ever been destroyed by it.

Your claims and the hyperbole of your rhetoric just aren't borne out by reality.
> It doesn't get really get more 'top of the food chain' than that.

Sure it does. Aside from giant birds, crocodiles, and leopards, early humans likely had to contend with bears, sabertooth cats, snakes, hyenas, Komodo dragons, and even other hominins. As prey, the past was not a pleasant place for humans and our ancestors, because they were prey, not apex predators. You know, apex means nothing eats it. Just last year an alligator ate a man in Louisiana and they will again. That sort of disqualifies our species as "apex." The alligator is an apex predator because nothing predates them. Making sense yet?
Thanks, that is helpful, esp I can google that to get more docs. One issue is everyone in the team needs to do so, but its probably worth it.
As far as consumer routers go, wouldn’t it be trivial to re-tool the usual port forwarding interface to simply accept connections to a specific address-port? That combined with a internal block-all-inbound rule would be quite hard for a user to footgun themselves horribly with.

From a quick search, UPnP seems capable of automating this for user convenience, especially with stateless addressing.

Two servers actually. they have damage to both servers, as I read it, due to never scrubbing the disks, and having physical hardware failures and poor power quality.

With the current regulatory situation that is accurate.
I read all the time about how great the latest technology like Docker and Kubernetes is, and how one should always update every 20 minutes or else you'll have your entire life, much less your identity, stolen by hackers, and besides, who wants to use software that's an entire six months old? And yet, trying to get anyone to upgrade to IPv6 and suddenly the entire world gets super conservative and "hey now! Let's not get too hasty here!" I can't quite square this circle.
Nowhere else on earth is hungry talent alone worth 500k.

What an immensely privileged position to be in. And what an unjust system it must be for this to be possible, for fiefholders to play patrons in this way.
> A nice additional benefit is the ability to handle wildcard email addresses
…
> When someone sells an email address or starts spamming it, I can cut it off.

If you have your Fastmail account configured for wildcard, or "catch-all" addressing, does it let you cut off specific aliases? G Suite/Workspace lets you do catch-all addressing but if one address starts getting spammed, there doesn't seem a way to make it bounce, you can only filter it out.

One thing Fastmail Standard accounts have over G Suite/Workspace is allowing an order of magnitude more specific aliases. When you use the address-per-site technique you describe you can easily hit the few dozen alias limit per-account on G Suite/Workspace.
There is no difference of opening a port in a firewall or a NAT (well, as long as there is a single machine that wants to listen on that port, at least).

And some kind of UPnP will still be required even if your internal network were using ISP-assigned IPv6 addresses for protocols that want to open multiple connections, like VoIP conferencing, bit torrent etc.

Of course, if you have an internal network where you actually communicate between your various machines, you won't want to use ISP-assigned publicly routable IPs, since those can change at any time, so you'll also need some kind of network address translation at the edge.
Ironically, this criticism is addressed as a nuance in his post.

You can do that.... but watch the markets tumble and the interest rates skyrocket... and the politicians and bankers panic!
> Personally, I don't understand the appeal of opinionated code formatters. If you don't want to discuss "taste" questions, then just don't, it doesn't matter what option you pick.

I think the appeal is that it avoids the discussions entirely (i.e. if it doesn't matter what option you pick, why even have the option? Particularly if these options will mean you divert away from the standard python style guide, which has been trying to standardize these choices for years so that codebases have similar rules.)

i.e. if your org has inconsistent python formatting between different independently-operating teams, it's easier to enforce PEP 8 than start a load of pointless arguments about what good looks like.
I’m surprised at all the people here saying that they can’t get IPv6 to ‘work’ on their home internet connection. In my experience, in the Bay Area, with Comcast cable and AT&T DSL connections in the last few years (5 or 10), it’s ‘just worked’ for any device connected to the router they provide, no configuration required.

I kind of assumed that this was true nowadays for most home ISPs.
Are you thinking of prefix translation?

To add onto this, I also found that Black works as a nice heuristic indicating to split up code when the formatted output isn't "pretty" into separate lines.
MP4 (H.264/H.265) is the proprietary one. WebM (VP8/VP9) is open and royalty free (as is the upcoming AV1).

Less commonly supported though, most notably by Apple and some TVs (quite import for that use case).

Yes, we wanna test something that is really in production. We implement it that it's behind very hidden url and regular path is blocked with feature flag then at launch date you just mark true to false and the working thing just also becomes available at main url
The startups in that article don't seem to be selling entire properties on the blockchain though - it looks like they're doing things like buying a property and then selling fractional interest in that property to different investors as tokens.

I'll believe that multi-sig wallets solve this when I hear frequent stories about regular human beings (not highly sophisticated tech insiders) who both understand them and use them successfully.
Totally agree. Makes me wonder what sort of back room dealing went on to select ID.me.

When people talk about food it seems they forget about nuance. Somebody catches wind that a high carb diet is bad and before long they're full carnivore and start proselytizing that eating a fruit will kill you.
Sounds like the main thing they're selling is exclusivity.
I mean yes, that's fair, I am. Broadly though, it's because they seem to be unified behind the idea of issuing unregistered securities and selling them to un-accredited investors because they don't seem to think the registration of securities is valuable.

I disagree, because, the Great Depression.

They're not setting out to solve a limitation around business organization. You can do basically anything you want out of a Delaware LLC or C-corp except sell the shares to an un-accredited investor without registering them. There's even a light-weight way to do that with Reg CF and Reg A+.

You want public voting? Ok, that doesn't require a blockchain and it certainly doesn't require a whole new legal framework for organizing a business. Twitter has managed to have polls for years.

Most people actually trying to build a business of value aren't trying to reimagine the concept of a business.

By all means, go with God, find a better way to organize companies. If they land one one, I'll happily use it. But so far all I see is grift, crime and frankly, little else.
