> I found that to multiply two words, you'd need 30 nanoseconds -- the multiply instruction implements one step of a multiply, so you need to run it in a loop. Anyway, that limits me to 1/(30 ns) = 33 MSPS of data ingestion, and almost surely it's less due to overhead.

What? While it actually takes about 100 nanoseconds, not 30 nanoseconds, for an 18-by-18-bit multiply, you can do hundreds in parallel, so it should be fine for your purposes. Am I missing something with how your numbers square up?
Well one could argue Google and FB services are not free. Those 2 companies are 2 of the most profitable, valuable companies in the world. If they are providing their services for free, how can that be? Our attention and information is what they profit from, and that should not be undervalued. They are certainly not providing these services to us out of the goodness of their hearts.
Distributed exchanges by their nature only trade one type of crypto-asset for another. The problem always comes when you try to move value out. Whatever you trade for in your DEX, if you want to buy a house with it you'll need to be able to account for how you got it.

Those who enforce money laundering laws don't mess around: If your money is clean, you're just shooting yourself in the foot by erasing the record of how you got it.
My suspicion is fluid dynamics is fundamentally chaotic, but that even with a steady, even and predictable flow, if even possible, the motion of the wheel would still be chaotic and that there is little relation between the chaos of the fluid and the chaos of the wheel movement. That's just what I think, so, take with a grain of salt, I honestly do not know. btw, chaotic does not mean erratic nor does it mean random, but instead Chaos Theory states that within apparent randomness of a complex system there are underlying mathematical patterns driven by a perpetuating feedback and resulting in a self-similarity transcending scale, as well as self-organization (fractals), and that deterministic non-linear systems are subject to a sensitive dependence on initial conditions (aka butterfly effect).

I also think this is not really an experiment but merely a physical demonstration of Chaos Theory.
> how does protesting COVID mandates

Uhh, I think calling for the overthrowing of the federal government[0] is a little more than just protesting a covid mandate lol. To be clear, I'm not saying overthrowing the federal gov't is racist or misogynist. I'm just saying that clearly there is a lot more going on than that

Just to be clear, the government of Canada doesn't mandate vaccination of truckers, what it mandates is for non-vaccinated individuals (which includes truckers) that are entering Canada through the border that they must get tested and quarantine on entry.

So if you can't prove vaccination on entry, you need to have a proof of negative test and quarantine a few days.

I just want to point that out, because it seems the media has taken to make it sound like the Canadian government wants to force vaccinations on truckers, it doesn't, but it's enforcing safety measures around border entry, and depending on your vaccination status, those measures are possibly more inconvenient.

The other thing I want to bring up is that in Canada, the government, and I'm turn the tax payers, they subsidize and pay for medical treatment of people who have COVID and need treatment.

So it makes more sense that you'd want to make sure people take necessary preventative measures, otherwise you're having tax payers pay the bill.

Some people in Canada are even suggesting that instead of such preventative measures, if people want to be allowed to take their own risk, then the treatment for COVID for individuals that didn't take preventative precautions shouldn't be offered to them for free and shouldn't be prioritized over other medical interventions. But this is pretty extreme as well, and while reasonable, Canadians don't really want to just let someone in need of medical treatment to not be able to get it. So the general sentiment is that you'd rather make sure everyone is taking necessary precautions and cover people who need treatment no matter what. But as people push back on precautions, the idea to be stricter on who gets access to subsidized treatment will probably become more and more popular, especially with regards to vaccination status.

That wasn't really necessary? Your point is taken and some of us are indeed grateful (and I don't doubt GP is or was), but I think we're in the minority. And it seems a general thing in Western societies? There's a lot of teacher bashing in France too, and also a difficulty to find ones. The pay, the teaching conditions, the permanent bashing and ridiculing by the elites, the ruling class, and any class really...

I mean, when your secretary of education tells teachers during the first covid lockdown, most of them fighting to keep classes running, to go help pick strawberries instead. Err... When you can't even fund 5 kn95 masks (to be reused) for every teacher and you relax all covid constraints because the economy is grinding to a halt. 15 euros... Not even that. Even my company pays for 2 daily kn95 masks and I'm not exposed to kids.

There are easier ways, but it depends on how comfortable you are with email stuff and how flexible your email hosting setups are.

I host my own email servers, so when people are migrating accounts in, what I've done is set up their accounts to use fetchmail to fetch email from the previous provider when the previous provider offers no direct access.

Some providers can allow you direct access to your mail spool file, so rsyncing that across is easiest.

If you set the TTL on DNS to really low, like half an hour, a week before the actual move, you'll have a very small window in which email might go to either the new place or the old place. There are ways to make sure there's absolutely no overlap, if that's a big deal, but for most things this works just fine.

If the email mostly lives on the client and you don't care about syncing mailboxes on the server, just configure the email clients to check both the old and new servers for a few days, then remove the old server when you're 100% sure nothing is going there any more.
> Many jobs have had vaccine and testing requirements for decades and nobody lost their mind

Yes, "many", not "all". Do you think we're still in "many" territory or are we trending towards "all"?

The requirements changing for a job they may have had for decades is also a legitimate reason to be upset.

Let's not pretend there aren't legitimate concerns here.

> Well suddenly vast majority now does require COVID vaccination.

Except that's not true.
1918 had some cities implement lockdowns as a response to the rapidly spreading Spanish Flu. And then there were anti-lockdown protests which caused some cities to lift their lockdowns early and the virus surged. Business owners also railed against the lockdowns, and were sometimes successful in getting them lifted.

There was a similar situation with mandatory masks, and then loud anti-mask protests which resulted in the lifting of some mask mandates.

What happened over the past two years has happened before, and will probably happen again. You can find examples of lockdowns in other pandemic eras. Venice partially locked down in 1575 due to the plague.

You may disagree with lockdowns, but there's plenty of precedent. Your "fact" is incorrect.

I believe this is such a severe screw-up that it should end the doctor's career. Safety procedures exist for a reason and if you follow them correctly there should be zero possibility of error. If corners were cut and procedures were not followed then that becomes (in my view) criminal negligence.

> I find it shocking that there's any legal framework under which Gofundme could shut down the page, seize all of the donations, and force people to basically file paperwork to get them back. There's something deeply asymmetrical in the way we treat white-collar crime as opposed to street crime.

I agree that it's fucked up, but the "legal framework" is just the fact that people agreed to the terms and conditions. It's not really shocking, though that doesn't make it right

> My dream is to pay $5 a month to play my existing games on a decent computer without having to buy one.

It's more than $5, but what you're looking for ("cloud" gaming PC without walled garden) exists. You can rent a VM with GPU, for example from Paperspace [1], and install a remote desktop app that optimizes for latency, for example Parsec [2].

In the past there was the french company Shadow [3] that offered gaming-ready Windows VMs, but they filed for bancruptcy in 2021, not sure about their current status.

Not affiliated with them, but I tried both (Shadow before their bancruptcy, Paperspace+Parsec maybe a year ago) and both worked okay. A bit too much latency for my taste so I stopped using it, but with better connection speed and lower distance to the data center it might be acceptable.

If I sell my couch for paper money to a someone that got that money through a crime or in violation of a sanction, I don't realistically have to worry that someone could try and claw back that money from me by tracking the payment.

Paper money has serial numbers, but likely nobody record them during the criminal transactions. Even if they KNOW which serial numbers are involved in a crime (maybe they robbed the mint), there's no database that tells them I have that note now and no infrastructure to catch someone from spending it.

(Of course perhaps the money is clawed back because there's text messages on the criminal's phones about buying the couch. But that's another story)

As far as unions go, I always support the right of anybody to voluntarily organize, but unions are IMO a horrible fit for programming.

I hate how this sounds, but programmers have a creative job that's not relatively fungible like say a house painter who does a relatively standardized task. The best painter in the world is physically capable of what, painting about 2 or 3 times more square feet per hour than an average painter? I don't know exactly, but I doubt that the best painter in the world is say 100x more effective than an average one.

Programmers vary wildly in the value they produce. Good programmers who want to unionize are going to plant themselves near the lower tier of compensation when they easily provide 10x or 100x of the value that a less skilled programmer brings.

If I were to design a replacement messanging system to replace email, I would design it with deny by default, where messages that aren't signed by someone on your contact list are rejected. Maybe with a system to request that someone add you to their contact list (though with a limit on how much text can be in that request).

Maybe something like that could be done with email, but without a culture around it, figuring out what addresses you need to add to your contact list when you add new services could be a pain.
