So I love Seeedstudio and their innovative and affordable hardware.
I bought quite a lot over the past years and always been quite happy for the quality.

However, they blame the chip shortage for their own inability to manage their inventory.

I've had to cancel my last order (all items in stock and paid for at the time). I contacted them after a few weeks seeing the items were not yet shipped. They replied that some items were out of stock. I agreed to remove them. A couple of days later, they reply again that more items (similar sensor as the one featured here) are no longer in stock....

This tells me that that their website isn't showing the actual stock status at the time of order, that their system doesn't reserve quantities for items already purchased, and that they don't really communicate unless you chase them (but they respond quickly).

If you purchase anything, have a follow-up ticket within 3 days to make sure they take care of your order and quickly assert whether all parts are available.

I like Seedstudio but they need to sort out their logistics and inventory management. My previous order took 4 months to ship and had multiple shortages and delays as well.
I really, really care about traffic and transit alternatives.

The short answer is yes, the US has significantly higher death rates than europe (at least double last i checked), however, i think it's difficult to place that on their "driving behavior." I would speculate that much of it has to do with post-automobile city development. Having been on the road in many countries in europe, i can assure you that i've seen wildly unsafe driving in places like the UK and Italy, in contrast to germany/sweden/netherlands where i saw very safe driving. I presume the drastically lower fatality rates have much more to do with the road-widths and awkward intersections that prevent speed.

I would need a ton of data to accept that "culture" is to blame for road deaths in a country, given the fact that most people treat driving as a background activity, while they are listening to music/podcasts/news/etc. I presume the vast majority of safety is done automatically by removing unsafe road designs that favor throughput, speed, and traffic reduction over forced safe usage of vehicles.

>Because you still need to open a channel and probably eventually close a channel on the L1. Doing so for everyone on earth would cost 75 years, the entire block reward and about a half a trillion dollars. Double if you plan to close.

This is a fake concern. People dont have to open a channel to use lightning. There are many solutions that dont require dedicated channels like custodial wallets. Also if lightning is used as a Bitcoin hot wallet, it would be silly to close channels constantly. You can just keep refilling your balance on the open channel using an exchange.

Routing complexity actually decreases as the value of Bitcoin increases because all of the already openned channels increase in total possible dollar throughput at the same time.

>This is why even the Chivo and Strike wallets don't actually use LN - they have a couple of their own nodes, that they don't allow external peering with, and only in certain circumstances. Mostly they just use MySQL.

Strike uses LN, I'm not sure why you think it doesn't. They have some of the largest routing nodes on lightning. My understanding is they dont allow channels to be opened that are smaller than a certain size (500m sats if I remember correctly), this is a freedom that every node operator has, no one is forced to accept tiny incoming channels.

Strike can even reject all anonymous incoming channels and you still couldn't say it adds no routing value to LN without more node config information and the number/size of private channels it has open.
The paper is not advocating for CBDC. The paper is spurred by the sentiment for CBDC and the groanings of representatives in Congress, but this is not the direction or conclusion the paper made. Its pretty well balanced.
Nuthin' much.

What's up with you?
FYI that uses their Live View to look at building and street view around you to better orient you. Kind of matches what you photo with what they know and orients you. Incredibly useful in places like Japan where you don’t have many readable street signs or dense urban canyons.

It has nothing to do with some crazy nefarious google plot.
It ships browsers but not because it's a JS standard (ECMA) rather a web standard (WHATWG). Almost everything in JS is an external library as it doesn't have a true stdlib to go with the language just a core language and implementation specific APIs like browser Fetch or Node sockets.

Hopefully WebSockets (W3C/IETF) will get embedded in Node's core one day as well.
> Heck, we are on the verge of a major world conflict where GPS accuracy may be degraded intentionally by the US or jammed by other forces.

During which (brief?) time we will have other pressing concerns beyond degraded mapping services. Why should this temporary condition that on its own is certainly not 'crippling' be an excuse for accepting that Google/Alphabet and like minded corporations want technical approaches that enable them to know everything about us 24/7?
Perhaps the stakes are so high that on this subject and this one alone humanity can exercise some continued competence.
Because that's how it normally works? Why would any renter pay that much? If they have that much disposable income each month, they could just buy instead of renting.

Well, that's surprising. I've driven San Francisco as an Uber/Lyft driver and it's a nightmare. I'm really curious how it checks for side traffic when it's nose is pointed at the sky at a stop sign on a steep hill.
I think this is very much car-dependent, and probably even user-configurable.

For example, the cruise control on my 2021 Mazda 3 doesn't enforce school zone speed limits (or any speed limits), although it recognises them and will flash on the HUD if you're exceeding the limit. Since it's not enforced, I can just ignore it if it has misidentified a speed sign.

Although, school zone signs around my area actually include a bit of genius design: they are hinged in the middle [1], so during school holidays, the signs are covered up by closing the hinge.

Finally, at least in suburban areas in Australia, a school zone covers a couple hundred metres at most. So even if you or your car gets it wrong, driving 20km/h under the speed limit is a very temporary inconvenience for drivers behind you (unlike, for example, driving 20km/h under the speed limit for 50 kilometres on a single-lane highway).

In hindsight, the government shouldn't have precipitated the conditions that justified these "loans" in the first place. The whole putative point of this (reducing covid deaths) was obviously ineffective and/or a red herring. Of course, if you think the actual point was liquidation of Kulaks, it was quite effective at that.
Run it locally on docker.
Whelp, I'm about to break the first rule of TAPBE. Imagine an Earth where all interactions / relationships are voluntary, with a societal structure that's resilient to everything from solar flares to the rise of oppressive governments.

I dunno what that would really look like. But I'd like to explore gift economies, time banking, and brainstorm the strategies and games that could enable a more equitable Earth.

As for the software side:

In my head I am imagining a hierarchical set of nodes organized by geographical proximity each hosting a django application connected by "privately" operated physical links.

I'd like to leverage http://www.nncpgo.org/ to make sneakernets and dead drops a first-class component of any software systems involved.

I put up a README with two guiding principles for now while I iterate on the concept more (https://sr.ht/~danielganado/TAPBE/). If you've got a solarpunk or agorist bent we'll be fast friends so work out my email address from my profile and say hey!
`su` sends the vm into a spin on a single core, is it going to get somewhere?

Is there anywhere that documents the covered/uncovered syscall surface?
Now that apis aren't patentable we might see something some day. I imagine reverse engineering it might be hard though.
There's also formed roundabouts where most of it is raised but only by a small amount, so that emergency vehicles with large tires can drive straight over it but still discourages light vehicles from doing the same.

I think a more typically structured recursive resolver is built around a read-through cache structure. Each step of the query asks the cache for more records, which you may or may not already have fetched; if you have, they're just served from the cache.

Right now, there's welfare cliffs and other problems with benefits that make it difficult to climb out of benefit dependency. In turn, current programs incentivize people to not do things that increase their income.

https://www.atlantafed.org/economic-mobility-and-resilience/...

A UBI, instead, eliminates these problems and ensures there's always a reason to increase your income. This in turn removes deadweight costs, improves economic efficiency, and can be expected to produce gains that will compound over time.

Yes, letting the poor starve to death might be more fiscally efficient, as long as they don't riot or anything. But most don't view this as a reasonable policy option.

What I don’t get is if stable coins aren’t backed by dollars somewhere, and their market cap is billions of dollars, and those stable coins are exchanged for actual dollars,

Most major countries have been doing this for years and years.

The US used to tap undersea cables way back around the 1970s. (Book: "Blind Man's Bluff")

Great Britain cut the undersea cables between Germany and the US way back in World War One, so that the Germans would be forced to use radio (which could be intercepted and decoded) instead of their undersea telephone cables.
I just don’t understand the need for fact checkers in an age of instant access to information. Anyone who wants to stick to their priors, can. Anyone who wants to delegate has an array of choices to choose from. And those who want (and have the time) to chase deeper comprehension themselves can do so (still delegating some here and there, recursively).

This is why every material must point to its source(s), and have full disclosure from the author.
Compensation is multi-modal and depends mostly on these three factors:

1) Company

2) Level

3) Country (location-based pay is a thing, but the adjustment is typically much smaller than the differences resulting from changing #1 and/or #2)

Top-of-band senior offers (annualized over 4 years) are in the range of 500-600k right now (Amazon, Uber, Netflix, Stripe), with a much longer list of companies hitting in the 400-500k range (Facebook, Google, Twitter, Lyft, Snap, Coinbase, Brex, Dropbox, Doordash, Square, Robinhood, Instacart, Snowflake, etc).

Most of these places are hiring remotely.

There's "way too many to list" companies paying in the 200-350k range for seniors; pretty much any publicly-traded tech company that grants RSUs should be hitting those numbers, as well as tech-adjacent companies. Some examples: Microsoft, Salesforce, VMWare, Grubhub (which is in the same space as Doordash but pays much less), Disney, Walmart, Workday, etc.

Under that you have startups (with equity grants of varying levels of risk & EV) and non-tech companies.
There's a substantial misunderstanding of what the financial terminology actually means here. In particular, you're using reserves to mean several different things and not realizing it.

The "zero reserve requirement" means that banks are now required to keep $0 in their account with the Federal Reserve Bank for every $100 of deposits they take in--a literal pile of cash in their bank vault would not count a dime. That is the only thing that qualifies as reserves for that requirement, and hopefully you understand that that is by no means an accurate reflection of any lay person definition's of "reserve".

Instead, modern financial regulations use capital requirements instead of reserve requirements. In essence, banks need to keep a buffer of their own cash--this isn't part of the assets/liabilities calculation--that can be raided if assets prove to be undervalued, and the amount that is needed depends on the risk of the assets. Something safe like cash requires no equity to be covered, while something like a mortgage might require about 3.5% of the par value in equity, and something like cryptocurrency 100%.

Note that you can also judge banks by how much their assets exceed liabilities. A typical bank is seen as perilously close to insolvent if their assets are "only" 107% of liabilities. By this metric, I will point out that Tether's assets are about 101% of liabilities the last I checked--and that's assuming that Tether's statement of its assets are in fact accurate, which given their history of lying, is not necessarily a safe assumption.

Hi,

I'm Grant and I'm from Santa Rosa, CA. I've been engineering for a little over 2 years now and I've built some things that I've been proud of and had a lot of fun along the way. Before that, I owned a small business that supplied guitar builders with materials, but I sold the company to focus on programming. Aside from coding, I'm into cycling (MTB, road, gravel, CX), playing guitar, craft beer, record collecting, and home coffee roasting. I'm generally a social person that works well with others, and I love learning and sharing my knowledge and I'm excited to find my next team!
People routinely take risks themselves they wouldn't impose on their kids.

It's much harder to believe that he didn't bring his son because of some weird insurance exclusion (presumably 1. they were insured for riders under 18 outside the vehicle and 2. he would have explicitly called out that it was a legal formality) than that this was extremely new technology which still had a reasonable chance of getting into a serious accident.
I always thought Java was the original protobuf library. Of the big three (PB, Avro, Thrift) only protobufs have a great modern RPC library included. I suspect more people start using PB because of gRPC. Unfortunately many people are still stuck with JSON over HTTP. I believe gRPC is more popular among systems where mobile clients dominate.

As a side note, if you expect to programmatically change your records (e.g. inject a new field on the server into a record received from a client) Avro is a much better choice. Avro also has a stronger schema migration story. But both are row-oriented formats with nearly identical IDLs anyway.
This has been my argument all along. People are driving in unsafe conditions when they should be stopped.
> And then cities and states ignore them and use speed limits to generate revenue.

I think for highways and other limited access roads they're often concerned with minimizing complaints much like the commentary we're seeing up and down these comments so they slap a small number on the sign knowing full well that traffic will ignore it and call it job well done.
It's not that simple. Every rack that is sitting there is an opportunity cost for another efficient or more profitable rack. So, there has to be smart calculation to make the keep/upgrade decision
Doesn't this argument justify stopping ANY spending that is not R&D?

For example, a dollar spent on healthcare keeping a chronically sick person alive is a dollar that could instead have improved the welfare of all future generations.

Is there a version of this argument that doesn't throw grandpa under the bus?
What's the actual problem with maintaining a constant speed in the middle lane?
I would be totally happy with a single USB-C port, for charging and for connecting my two monitors, the keyboard and the trackpad/mouse. But, at this thickness, it'd better be 90% battery or it won't last long, as well as the base will be too light to open with one hand. The charger, attaching to the middle of the screen, also looks like it'll change the balance of the laptop, making it easier to topple.

Still, I applaud the boldness.
By the same logic, when British Empire made slavery illegal, they owed reparations not to people they enslaved, but to business owner's who could no longer keep slaves and lost their 'assets'.

Is that the logic we want?
