At much less per house you can build massive utility scale storage, like pumped hydro.

However, these are complementary technologies, serving different time and scale of energy storage and duration. Home batteries aren't realistically going to solve storage on the weeks to season timeframe. They function on the order of hours to a couple days, and during local distribution outages.

I fail to see how the monopoly of the central bank on money creation affects in anyway the centralised or decentralised nature of private banking.

It’s like arguing construction is a fundamentally centralised business in your local area because every builders buy their bricks from the same factory. It doesn’t make much sense.
Before the Federal Reserve, recessions devastated the US economy every 20 years in the United States. When the Fed is actually given the autonomy to do what’s right it’s a pretty effective system. The last two recessions were pretty bad but they weren’t due to monetary policy but rather fiscal policy + bad actors and a pandemic.

The skeptic in me questions the motivation of public figures who blame all economic woes on the Fed. It really checks off a lot of populist scapegoat boxes

* Un-elected technocrats making important decisions in the shadows

* big government interfering in the economy

* impossible to understand as a layperson (for anyone?)

* a big departure from traditional ways of doing things so people think it was better in the good old days

Additionally it’s a good way to distract from America’s dismal fiscal policies. Finally, I think there’s a physiological component where people blame economic hardship on the tangible incarnation of wealth - money - as opposed to more abstract systems. It’s a way to map their emotions on something they know and understand.
I find it funny that this is the assumption for Japan. But if we were talking about how people in the US still use checks (as do other countries), then it's because Americans are dysfunctional and behind the times.

If a person chooses not to be vaccinated, they have a tiny chance to go to the hospital (polls show that almost HALF of democrats believe 50% of covid patients are hospitalized when it's actually 1-5%). If a person is fat, there's a 100% guarantee that it will land them at the doctor for any number of complications.

Furthermore, once COVID is dealt with, that person isn't going back to the hospital while the fat person will be going back over and over again. The tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars this costs are all foisted onto healthy people. Why should healthy people who worked hard to keep healthy be forced to pay for unhealthy people who lived a life of gluttony and sloth?

Perhaps more directly to the point, all the food driving fatness could be going to kids dying of malnutrition in other parts of the world. I don't know about you, but I'd rather spend those hundreds of thousands of dollars to send that food overseas to keep kids from starving rather than paying for someone's eating addiction.
Big issue in the UK is the standing charge and how (thanks Ed Davey) that got raised and was a huge impact for all. Many caps learn towards an ideology of 4.2 children household's in many respects and see's those responsible in energy usage and general low usage household's bear the burden with high energy users in effect getting a cheaper deal on the back of those responsible low usage consumers (yes did raise with local MP at the time - Ed Davey and ignored, though not forgotten).

How should this be fixed, well like taxation it should be scaled and a usage threshold per person in which you pay X amount and over that, you pay more for your fuel usage, so the more you use, the higher it gets that you pay and not sadly as we have, the reverse.

Sorry but whole subject a bit of a personal issue when my local MP sends out election voting paraphernalia stating how he has saved households money on their fuel bills when the reality for me was the polar opposite and again, he ignored that. But I shall have my day soon upon this.

Of course, no model is ideal, though when we see initiatives for solar and electric cars that learn towards those who can afford such items over those who can not and those that can not paying for such subsidies, you do feel the brunt of unfairness and why the rich get richer (not saying having solar or an electric car makes you a rich person, but for those who don't own their own house and rent or use public transport, relativity does become a factor)
I'm just going through this journey myself (migrating some Go event handling stuff to Lambda), will definitely have a blog post up in a few months. Lots of pain, but also lots of gain.

Some advice:

Don't use zip files. There's no reason to use them. The OCI image approach let's you use much larger images (which with Go binary sizes might occasionally be important - 10GB vs 50MB) and only sounds scary. It's as easy as using zip files, if not easier, cause you just end up with a 10 line multistage docker image which does everything you need to produce your final artifact.

Also important, though that part is actually fairly well documented in the runtime reference, the runtime of your Lambda will be hibernated between invocations (a warm lambda, I don't mean cold starts). That means, if you have asynchronous goroutines which are periodically doing IO, you might end up with loads of timeouts and broken TCP connections there, as you'll often get hibernated mid-IO-operation.
* rich western people

The rest of the world is desperate for banking without gatekeepers, ridiculous wire fees, corrupt inflation, etc.

Tech like bitcoin will liberate millions who only own a cellphone and are either denies banking alltogether, milked dry with 30% plus fees, or whose nearest bank is hours away.

Let banks compete.
I agree. This constant pressure to "delight" users is just a race to the bottom. Reminds me of the scene in Idiocracy with the hospital diagnosis buttons. https://youtu.be/LXzJR7K0wK0

Context cancellation propagates (potentially) asynchronously anyway, so if you're relying on something canceling your context and that immediately appearing you already have a bug.

I've written `select { ..., default: }` enough times I also wish it had shorthand syntax - sometimes it's even clearer to range one "primary" channel and lead the code block with that check - but I cannot think of a case where relying on a deterministic select would not have led to a bug.

A side question, does anyone know of a good source of some high-quality, old-looking drawing templates (say, DIN A4 frame+information in the bottom right), or a way to make a new template look "old"? I'm absolutely loving the blueprint aesthetics but I struggle to find good quality scans of the stuff to use in my own projects.
I'll give you a candid scenario that we went through:

nodejs app built with express receiving json events from 10M clients around the world on very regular basis, pushing to a queue and checking that it was received by the queue.

Extremely simple app: receive and parse json, do some very simple sanity checks on schema, convert to bson with some predefined mapping, and push to a queue (happened to be azure eventhub). To handle ~5BN events per month, peaking around 4000 events/sec, it was using up to 20 instances of node at ~200-300MB per instance in-memory and with scale-out trigger set to 75% cpu... 95th percentile was 20 cores and 12GB of ram in a serverless environment just for that one service. Add to that base container overhead and it was peaking at 16GB memory. That's not nothing in a serverless world. If it was a VM, sure, not too bad, but we're talking elastic containers and that service was built for 500% tolerance for high watermark. Not about to provision two 48GB VMs in two AZs and worry about all the plumbing "just incase". That is the point of going serverless.

Moved it to golang and it was handling 2000 req/s on 1 core with 60MB in memory. It has never went over 3 cores in the 2 years since it was moved.
Maybe jumping is the only signal politicians have that people are willing to pay for a rocket.

If your change is good, you can create consent by making the patch available. People will install it and eventually Mozilla will implement it.

In this case though, I doubt you'd get much traction because nobody really cares.
I think you are confusing CGI with post effects. You can have CGI "in camera" as they call it. The Mandalorian pioneered this. The system uses massive LED displays and Unreal engine. They call it "The Volume". https://ascmag.com/articles/the-mandalorian

On the other hand you can do non-CGI effects in post as well. In fact its super common. Bluescreens, compositing, rotoscoping, etc were all common techniques well before computers had anything to do with film making and can all introduce the problems you describe. It was actually a common problem. People would spend a lot of time tryng to get lighting to match and to line up composited elements.

So its not a CGI problem at all. Its an in-camera versus post effects problem.
I'd argue that it's closest practical example of direct democracy. As in initiatives and referendums.

Yeah. I mean even besides the playing chicken...it's playing chicken in general with sentiment and stuff too. I guess that is saying the same thing you are saying. Like Apple's PE going from a fairly low number to now being around 30. I don't know what to say or think of that or anything.

It's funny and silly. Not misinformation, but a stretch to say the drops and gains of stocks on a day to day basis is honesty to the general person.

If instead, if by default, numbers in charts and articles talked about these one day changes in stock prices alongside trailing 3, 5, or X day/week percentage changes.

Sure. Snap is up 45% today. However it was down 25% yesterday. Really, it went from $32.XX to $35.XX across two days and the entire week. A solid 10% gain.

At least for IPO'd companies, you can see if they put their money where their mouth is by looking at what insiders do with their own stock.

I think they're two sides of the same coin.

_How_ do we have any experience will be more easily answered the more we know about _what_ we actually experience. And _what_ we experience is predicated upon _how_ we experience it. I agree both need investigating.

The _bigger_ question I see the coin representing is _who or what_ is experiencing in the first place? The way I see it, it's not really _a thing_ experiencing _something_ but instead _things_ experiencing _things_ at _times_.

If you believe the money is "wrong" then Bitcoin won't safe you, nothing will safe you totally, in fact. Whether or not the money supply is fixed or not doesn't matter, you can make one type of money worthless vs. another form of money (happened so many times in history, and not necessarily due to inflation).

And Bitcoin's hard cap is based on incentives and code, i.e. it could be changed (difficult to see in reality absent some really strong outside coercion, perhaps). Another attack on the value of Bitcoin could be from a state actor using nearly unlimited resources to take over most of the mining or validating and using it against it. I.e., there are ways to degrade it as a store of value (other than just arresting everyone found using, for example).
That's really interesting - do you use anything like Meetup.com or are you on any discord/slack servers?

There is a cool app that I've been using called Lunchclub (https://lunchclub.com/), it links you with another person one time a week. Might be worth trying if you haven't already. Otherwise I'd really been keen to chat on how we could solve that problem!

Completely true about the people discovery apps (probably why most of them end up as dating or a hybrid dating/networking), so in my experience it seems that the only thing that overcomes this is strong interest based products focused on groups.
Because those "private banks" can only practice banking with the authority and funding that flows from the central bank. The structure is completely hierarchical.
As well as better working conditions. Young people aren't stupid. They can see how older people have just become accustomed to an insufferable grind. Sure, you can not go full-blown consumerist and then you only have to endure 30 years of it rather than 40+. But to many, that is still a shit deal. How about a decent work-life balance? Young people look around and it is seldom to be seen in the US.

I don’t understand why you need Facebook or TikTok or Instagram to stay connected with friends and family. What even is “being connected”? I think people hold on to friends they meet too hard. People come and go. If you don’t maintain a friendship outside of social media then that’s ok. Let them go. Move on.

We run a family Slack group. All the functionality of being connected, none of the bullshit.

There are pretty common patterns for this. At least for real word cases where you might have one special channel that you always want to check. Ugly, but in relation to the previous question, I don't see how one is doable and one isn't?

I'm agreeing with everything you said, but still I don't know why it's a defacto standard for template "engines" targetting HTML or other markup to invent ad-hoc syntax rules involving Unix shell-like $s and/or curly-braces and/or dotted paths ;)

When SGML, since the begin of times, has entities/entity references (plus CDATA/RCDATA marked sections) for exactly that purpose. Plus, can actually encode/quote expanded text in a context-dependent way (eg attributes vs elements) and prevent or allow expansion of replacement text into <script> directed by allowed content models, and prevent other injections using HTML-aware templating.

Yeah, I've heard of trying ovh [cloud]. That's the only non-American company's cloud I've heard about trying. Oracle and one another, maybe IBM?, are the only non-big three clouds I've ever looked at. Mostly because of their better free tiers and/or healthy free credits.
My analogy was to point out how wrong HN can be when judging things in their current early state, not to mention the tech bias.

To answer you, Web3 is solving both the data ownership problem and the centralization problem, and currently there is no other solution that is even remotely comparable to what Web3 is achieving.

> And is it really simpler to use than the alternative?

I understand why it can be daunting for a new user, but UX is improving each and every day, and I imagine that eventually you'll be able to use it without even needing to install Metamask or using a wallet somehow. ICP is doing something similar, so that you can use dapps without approving each and every single transaction.
However, as a developer I can tell you that it's MUCH simpler to use than the legacy web. I developed a dapp that essentially uses no backend and requires me to host nothing. It is much, much better, even though the infrastructure is essentially nonexistent.

The change is partly that the effectiveness wanes after a few months and partly that its less effectively again new variants like Delta and Omicron. You can create delta+omicron mRNA vaccines to deal the second problem, but the first problem is much harder--and maybe impossible--to deal with.

This is why we had low cases during the summer of 2021. The vaccine mostly worked at stopping the spread. It no longer does.

They actually do, that's why some companies also engage in Greenwashing, which is the practise of pretending to be environmentally friendly when you are actually not.

Because the brand of these companies is so valuable, once exposed they actually take steps to fix issues. Perfection is enemy of the good though, but things are actually moving for the better when there is a trend to demand the better.

There's of course counter trends, like eat more meat burn more fuel, screw the foreigners etc. I bet you, if these become dominant, the same brand will be all over it. "For every phone you buy from us, we kill a baby seal and throw a battery in the ocean" could be the next campaign if the ant-environmentalism catches up.
My answer is yes but it depends on your theory of identity. Unless you're positing a soul or something though, your answer is probably going to have to be yes.
This chart seems to be misleading, especially when we know that purchasing power was higher back then. It was far easier to buy a house with the income back then too.
