"can't arbitrarily raise rents without collusion."

???

There's no need for 'collusion' - term is 'inflation' - which will 100% happen when we start printing money at that scale.

It's unavoidable, almost by definition.

Housing costs are already skyrocketing and this is moving into rents already, at least largely in part because of of massive Fed Stimulus. In the short run it might be better to just give some cheques to people, but not over any period of time.

Yes, exactly! I read that article on Snopes and know exactly what you're talking about. Thanks for offering another example of it.

My hope is that we'll all wake up to these tactics and stop letting politicians and media organizations lie and manipulate us for their own gain. It has gotten to the point that I don't believe anything anymore, regardless of who says it, unless I see a full, in-context video of the event. Even then it can be iffy due to editing that isn't obvious.
This is the kind of thinking that is wrecking a business I’ve just quit. Management consultant decides that we need more customers so instructs us to open the product up globally. We explain that this is likely to be both expensive (lots of testing needed due to the usual geographic differences), but more important, based on our collected data and the use case (geographically local content), this expensive change is statistically likely to result in only a single new customer (literally, one).

But “every customer counts” so other activities which are likely to result in more customers are put on hold to capture a single customer.

The problem in these cases is often that the management consultant doesn’t consider the resource limitations and opportunity costs of their decisions, particularly if they come from a much larger business. If you have only one lead engineer, then getting them to chase discarded parts (or, in my case, a single customer) makes no economic sense at all.

Quite often, the problem is not a focus on measurement per se, but rather the very human problem of focusing only on those metrics that support the analyst’s intuition.

DevOps Engineer ( Staking Engineer )

https://bit.ly/ethcapdevops

Looking for a multiskilled DevOps Engineer to join our team to help configure, maintain and automate our infrastructure for Staking, focused primarily on Ethereum 2.0. We would like to fully develop and automate our staking solution, with proper monitoring and fault tolerance infrastructure to minimize the risks of protocol penalties.

If you are interested in scaling up your career while helping the Ethereum network to scale and transition to Proof of Stake (PoS), this role is for you.

This is a full-time remote-first position, with team members in Toronto and Montreal, Canada.

Ether Capital strives to be the single biggest Ether (ETH) accumulator in the capital markets. We plan to generate an attractive yield off our balance by participating in Ethereum network infrastructure. We intend to use the net proceeds to develop unique IP for the crypto ecosystem and traditional finance.

Ether Capital is a publicly traded company based in Toronto, listed on the NEO Exchange under the ticker “ETHC”.
Almost all rocket attacks come from Gaza. The remaining ones are from Syria (actually Iranian Al Quds units stationed there) and Lebanon (the Palestinian Iranian-funded Hizbollah).

The option is there to conquer and reoccupy Gaza. It would be terribly expensive in terms of human lives and the occupation will be very difficult to keep, but it would solve the problem of the rockets.

Ditto for Lebanon and Syria. From the 2006 war, often considered a failure for Israel, there were nonetheless very very few rocket attacks from Lebanon.

So defensive weapons could also be a perverse incentive, since they discourage military action that is more direct and more effective for the long term.

It's a very difficult problem. People are motivated to launch rockets because of grievances and because they see an advantage to do so. Israel has rewarded these kinds of attacks more then one time (e.g. loosening the blockade on Gaza) and the world has become quite convinced with the Palestinian narrative.

Israel's options are limited to defensive weapons (with a lot of problems long-term) and offensive ones (very expensive in terms of lives, government popularity, PR, etc..)

The public line from Musk for a while has been "LiDAR doesn't work in inclement weather, so L5 autonomous driving can't rely on LiDAR"

Obviously his stated motivation and actual motivation need not be the same.
They never get called out on it because the overwhelmingly liberal media all read it (don't downvote me, you know this to be unequivocally true). It's as simple as that. Everything has fucking turned political.
>freedom

[freedom] Is a very nebulous concept, I guess it's up to your interpretation as to whether our topic concerns freedom. But sure, it's probably not unreasonable to bring up the comment of freedom, I just wanted to make clear you were the one that introduced the notion of freedom. I find discuss on word 'freedom' are often incredibly difficult to get anything useful out of, because it's such a difficult word to define and work with.

I was talking about command economy of the compelled currency USD, which holds a priveleged legal position in that unlike any other currency in US I have a legal duty and responsibility to transact in it (taxes are the most obvious of these).

The combination of the compulsion, plus the central planning performed by a minority of elected and unelected government officials makes it a 'command economy' of USD for which there is no substitute; it is monopolized. It is simply illegal to trade and use a private currency as a full substitute for USD, and doubly so if you mint coinage.

I believe this monopolized command economy has yielded sub-optimal results, such as the temptation for governments to deliberately debase currency.
In my experience this is very rare, but that's my plan going forward. I can't guarantee that seed will stay up if I'm not paying attention to it though, so in practice it still means emailing the corresponding author. And actual transfer may still require sending hard drives through the mail. But publishing a torrent at least indicates willingness and preparation to share data, which is worth something.
Disagree. Traffic engineers study roadways and recommend speed limits based on safety and human behavior. And then cities and states ignore them and use speed limits to generate revenue.

>A self-perpetuating force that forces everyone to be too fast.

If it were actually too fast, most people wouldn't travel that speed. Have you ever noticed that traffic speed ebbs and flows with the road conditions or time of day? People will drive the speed they feel safe driving, and for most drivers it's (typically) much faster than the posted speed limit. And if the conditions are poor, it's much slower.
Open Source Blockchain music registration & Royalties: I'm a fullstack dev working on a blockchain project (eth/polygon) for music registration and royalties on chain. Would love to work with anyone with web3 backend(solidity) / frontend(react) experience, that is passionate about disrupting the music industry - for now it will just be a big open source permissionless project. But it could end up being a nice startup with many hooks to use for profit on top: from distribution to integrations - it's a blue ocean. (email in my profile)

The flat earth conspiracy theory really made me reevaluate how difficult it is to prove just about anything. As best as I can tell, the easiest way for one person to independently verify the earth is not flat is by watching the hull of a boat disappear before the mast. That's not super conclusive in my opinion because it relies on looking at an object over a couple miles away. This realization evaded most of mankind 600 years ago, so I'd argue it's not overwhelmingly obvious. Similarly, the curvature of the earth isn't observable from a commercial airline flight's standard altitude and window construction.

This is all to say that people refuse to believe things that they cannot personally verify. For the record, I believe the earth is an oblong spheroid.
Leaving description opens up other bad avenues though. Like posting an article with a description about how stupid the article or the author is.
Yes and no. It is a difficult problem, but it has been done before (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippine%E2%80%93American_Wa..., https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malayan_Emergency, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yugoslav_Wars). There is a rough roadmap about how to go about it, something along the lines of suppressing the rebels and providing security for the majority of the populace while you reform the government and establish its credibility.

In Vietnam, this was made more difficult by the international situation and by the ease of outsiders intervening to support the Viet Cong (such as the NVA). Similarly in Afghanistan, with the additional problem that the US never realized that Afghan nationalism isn't a thing. (My interpretation; the US Army has a big, long analysis of what it thinks went wrong that I haven't read.)

The problem is that quantitative metrics hide the difficulties and provide a false sense that the situation can be resolved easily and cheaply. McNamara's body count idea makes a certain amount of sense, given that the strategy there was to cost the NVA so much that they could not continue to push troops into South Vietnam, which might have worked if that was the only major problem.
> So, basically, I need to somehow predict that FSD will do the wrong thing and react myself, _before_ the worst time, because the worst time is when it's already too late.

Don't confuse prediction and anticipation. Prediction requires that you know what's going to happen. Anticipation is getting ready for something that might happen. Anticipation is a normal part of defensive driving every day, not prediction.

Let's go back to defensive driving 101: defensive driving allows mistakes to be made. It allows bad things to occur and still recover from them safely. Bad things happen because of mistakes are made by humans in the car, humans outside of the car and also by the computer in the car. The change here is that you the computer is being given much more latitude to make mistakes. It does NOT grant the computer the ability to remove defensive margins from driving.

If you drive (regardless of FSD) with no defensive driving margins, you immediately enter "too late" territory whenever a mistake is made.
> the user went beyond just using something to swap ETH for WETH and instead interacted directly (manually) with the contract

Isn't it the "contract" that is supposed to be the "smart" thing here?

> effectively bypassing the safe-guards that are already in place (even without exchanges) to prevent issues.

YTF aren't these "safe-guards" built into the "contract", if it's supposed to be so "smart"?

Even the most stupid ordinary non-"smart" conversion program has the "smarts" to reject invalid input, not confiscate it.

This whole Crypto/Blockchain business is so obviously bullshit all the way down.
> No one ever explained to me that recruiters are also one of the best career resources you can find.

For increasing your salary, and potentially finding a role you'd take. I'd not categorize this as "career resources" -- there's so much more important stuff like figuring out what you want out of your career and keeping on track with it.

Why do people focus on money so much when making career changes? Sure, you'll get more in your next job because the current salary is a piece of leverage to use. But if it's only about money, why did you accept your current job?
Their radar removal was baffling. There were rumors (perhaps Musk's tweets?) of Tesla investigating 4D imaging radars to replace their really old Continental radars, but they suddenly decided to remove it altogether. Many have attributed it to chip shortage and yet again Musk using vision-only as an excuse for removal.
If a company tried to release a product that had this safety profile in a factory setting the governments and unions would be all over them.

I think the same is probably true of cars/trucks in general.
Even cheaper: don't have computer driven transit, but human driven transit. The current money sunk on the automated driving tech startups could pay drivers for years to come.

What I would like to see is companies and people working towrds eliminating as many vehciles from the road. It is untainable, if we want an habitable planet, to have have a dependency on cars.

This means we have to move back to a denser environment (for the US, think pre WW2 suburbs, vs the current car-dependent sprawl). Either that, or boil the planet. We don't have any other way right now – and as such, Tesla is working towards the idea of heating the planet. Musk is very amandmanet on that, with his constant efforts to destroy public transit with his other companies.

Potentially yes but they would have to be actually good jobs, at good rates, with guarantees that payment can't be reversed(and other similar scenarios that upwork and the like are famous for).

So basically potentially yes, but the reality is that it's unlikely for anything to ever live up to this standard.

"Making a simple DNS resolver with miekg/dns in Go" would have given me the false impression that the article was about how to use miekg/dns. "A DNS resolver in Go" would have given me the false impression that it was about a full-fledged DNS resolver meant for integrating with Go applications. The current title at least pushed me in the direction of understanding what the article is about, which is demonstrating how DNS resolution works using a short Go program.
I mean, sure when you frame it like that it sounds insane, but most cars these days have GPS that can look up the speed limit, so it would be relatively easy for modern cars to limit cruise control to refuse to allow speeding. Do you think every major car manufacturer is ignoring engineering safety standards and behaving recklessly and irresponsibly by implementing a driver assist feature (cruise control) that behaves illegally when the user asks it to?
Those billion dollar reactors can't power a city though. Maybe a small town of a couple or three hundred people? For a billion dollars? ehhhhhhh
Containers is amazing but is missing one key feature: addons isolation.

My Profile A have only ublock + bitwarden installed (my most trusted extensions)

My Profile B have random useful extensions for sites like reddit and youtube that I don't necessarily trust but I don't care if only reddit data or my unlogged youtube profile gets compromised as it doesn't mix with my personal profile.

I know that there's a permission system for addons but it's ridiculously bad as many extensions simply need/want permission for all your browsing data or access to all your tabs, history, etc.
> other Palestinians opposed to the deal can 'break' it

Only if Isreal reacts by declaring the peace deal with one group dead because another group fired rockets. It takes two to tango, as they say.

If a gunman from Canada fired into the USA, the USA is unlikely to consider it a declaration of war and start nuking Canada!
We haven't had real economic growth in the US since the 70's when deindustrialization first began. If you discount by the real estate market's return instead of CPI you have negative or flat real growth. CPI includes a lot of goods that are long run deflationary like TVs, food, and cars.

I'd point you to China for an example of what "rising tide lifts all boats" actually looks like. And to add to that - it matters a lot what kind of growth is driving GDP increases. If you're just powering growth by increasing immigration (aka working population) that's not increasing per-capita GDP.

> Growth is also looking like a very unsustainable way to support civilization.

Again, depends what kind of growth you're talking about.

> "grow the pie to share it"

Wealth redistribution has never worked in history. In every case where it has occurred there has been a flight of capital leading to underinvestment and poverty, or war.
