I can't agree. According to the legendary 'Art of wheelbuilding' by Gerd Schraner (and promoted by dtswiss spokes) slack wheels are a recipe for broken spokes. I have heard what you said repeated by many 'old time' mechanics, but the evidence from dtswiss is that all wheels should be tightened to the maximum tension the rim can support. I certainly always did this with my mountain bike wheels when I was a downhill racer and the pro riders I knew agreed. I never had a catastrophic failure and my wheels were maxed out using the method in the book already mentioned
SOP certainly does make restrictions on making requests, like setting any non-default headers (including content-type). It is one of the reasons that validating content-type to not be one of the normal form values used to be a valid way to handle CSRF for APIs.
Well it’s still a drop in the bucket compared to the economic costs, the governments just don’t have access to the funds needed. That doesn’t mean it wouldn’t be worth it for society if they could do it.
A lot of the knowledge is just practical stuff like knowing how to correctly use a wire nut, where to buy the best brands of equipment for good prices, and lots of rules of thumb. The other half is code. The code can be surprisingly complex. There are all sorts of things to know like how much you can legally stuff in a junction box.

I have an EE degree but find there is little overlap between that knowledge and electrical work.

OP branched here: "it's not as if the choices were 'commit crime / get bounty'."

Any example relevant to OP's branch cannot end with the subject in a river. The very fact that you are discussing it proves we've jumped to the other branch of the conditional-- the one where the choice is exclusively between `commit crime / get bounty` (by threat of death in your example)

My friend was a plumber for the NYC Housing Authority. He retired at 41 (after working 20 years) with a 1.5x full pension.

The grass is always greener. I have friends who work in trades and they constantly say how I have it easy for being able to work from home and not exert myself too much physially. On the other hand it'd be nice not to have meetings, deadlines and operational work (at least I don't have to do on call anymore) and constantly try to keep up with the times skillwise (which tbf I find really fun, but still). I'm quite happy though. Remote work has definitely made a massive difference, for me, in that respect.

We actually know quite well the dangers of different substance and also behaviors/institutions like social media.

The necessary "institution" is called science. And even with bought/fake science science does have quite a good track record regarding things like these.

But I am actually not advocating bans on these things. Every grown up should be allowed to be irrationally dumb and destroy themselves.

But, why not tax them. Tax them so that externalities are being compensated. Make these things unattractive. Also work on changing the culture of it being cool to drink till you pass out or even the obligatory social drinking. It doesn't have to be cool.

And if anyone wants to kill themselves with substances that is OK. I don't have to like it, but I think it is their right.

But don't make me pay for their medical bills (an example) by covering it from their insurance (that becomes more expensive for me).

Disclosure: I say that as a person who lost his father prematurely because he drank too much. Way too much. My appetite for alcohol wasn't too high before, but is not existing any more since then. Still I wouldn't want to forbid it for others.

This state of mind is called "ignorance is bliss." There's nothing wrong with it. Despite people thinking "happy" people have never had any hardship in life, it really just describes not wanting to explore what has caused them any trauma, thus, not letting those things affect them (in a negative way or positive way).

I've noticed this kind of person is usually the most uninteresting to talk to, though. But not everyone has to be interesting. In my experience, aside from their work, they seem to have surface-level conversations and interests and live a much simpler life. It's like an extreme form of pragmatism.

Also, to paraphrase Borges, happiness is its own justification.[1] In other words, it either needs no justification or, at the most, only a surface-level justification.

You don't even have to change one pixel. NFTs don't enforce uniqueness or copyright laws or anything.

You can 'mint' the same image or hash or URL as new NFTs, forever.

They're taking the old confidence scam of "This is the original copy of something that other people are gonna want! (with no intrinsic value)" and tech-washing it to claim that the blockchain enforces originality. It doesn't, it's still all up to humans to say "This is the oldest copy of all the copies."

People keep saying "But it might be good for concert tickets!" I'm sick of hearing that. Don't carry water for a scam based on some what-aboutism that hasn't even been implemented. Concert tickets are working fine and TicketMaster would be dead if someone didn't like the way they did things. The venue still has to honor the ticket, so NFTs are still a middle-man, just dumber.

Eh didn’t it turn out that most of that was drummed out in the 2012 era by a few doctors selling books and partnering with exercise and standing desk companies? I feel like most of the more recent stuff I have read has said, yes get your exercise in but sitting itself isn’t actually bad, certainly not the whole ‘1 hour of sitting reduces your life by 1 day’ sort of stuff we heard a decade+ ago.

"The trades" each come with occupational hazards of their own. These occupational hazards are sometimes much worse than sitting down. Besides, op clearly stated the intent to walk more.

For example, would you accept a 1.4x (+40%) chance of brain cancer? Vs sedentary peoples who have 2x chance of diabetes and +14% cardiovascular disease? (and sedentary means sitting + not exercising after work!).

I'd argue diabetes is easier to avoid through other life changes. I"m confused about whether "sitting" means "never exercising", and articles that talk about "sedentary" lifestyles are not very helpful.

Yep. I got burned out at one point and got my real estate license. I was going to go into commercial real estate and build a residential website in my spare time.

Good grief what a scheme that entire field is. If I wanted access to residential MLS data I was going to have to be a residential realtor. To be a residential realtor you have to work for a broker who will charge you monthly for the pleasure. You have to put the name of the brokerage on any site that uses the data even if you pay for it yourself. You also have to pay for each MLS you want to access.

If you want to start your own brokerage you have to get a brokerage license. To do that you have to have your real estate license for 3 years and take the brokerage class. There’s nothing you actually have to do during that 3 years other than maintain your license.

Seeing the profession from the inside was eye opening and I’ve been extremely happy getting to enjoy being in an unlicensed profession ever since.
Not the easiest one to make absolute decisions over. National lotteries fund a lot of useful stuff.
> fraud is not even illegal

Just like all other non-bank fintech companies (like Paypal, Square, etc.), US crypto exchanges are regulated by FinCEN, the Bank Secrecy Act, and the Patriot Act, and are obviously legally liable if they try to commit fraud. Most other countries have similar money servicing legislation, and even if they didn't, fraud is still illegal in all but the least legally responsive jurisdictions. Committing fraud doesn't suddenly become legal just because your company is classed as a crypto exchange.

Now, just like there will always be a poorly regulated bank somewhere in the world, there will always be a poorly regulated crypto exchange somewhere in the world.

> Need an example of crypto-fraud? The most widespread example is Tether, USDT. The idea that USDT is backed by USD is a well known joke. No one really knows the full extent of this fraud but all indications are it is one of epic proportions.
>
> Yet the exchanges maintain the $1 peg for USDT.

USDT is a Bitfinex product. If you believe that "the exchanges" other than Bitfinex are in on Tether, I'd like to hear your reasoning. Most likely, the USDT fraud will collapse at some point, and the rest of the exchanges besides Bitfinex, along with the rest of the crypto market, will go on business as usual after a short market scare.
Having single-pair vs. cat5 is kind of a bonus, for wiring simplicity and weight. I could also see the power delivery part being useful for things like sensors and other oddly placed/small powered devices.

The main benefit is Ethernet. It has already started, but in the next few model years of cars, there is a large transition happening from CAN -> Ethernet as the primary communication bus. The simplest reason for that is software + bandwidth + integration.

To implement semantics like an RPC call across two modules in car via CAN, it is kind of ugly and almost always results in awkward software interfaces and extremely inflexible implementations. Whereas with Ethernet now you can do something like use gRPC and protobufs, which is entirely flexible and results in well-defined/formed software interfaces. CAN will still be used for a while for what it is best at: low-level, reliable, low-bandwidth chatty data interfaces that make sense for electro-mechanical parts - especially those that don't have (or need) anything more than a very bare-bones microcontroller. Cost is still a huge factor in automotive design, because a $1 difference x 1 million cars blah blah it makes a difference.

Bandwidth is obvious. CAN can't do video, and in practice audio either (although theoretically possible I guess). Cars have lots of audio and video devices now, and it is unnecessarily complicated to always have command/control and media data on separate buses. Imagine if your computer used one physical network interface for HTTP requests and another interface for streaming video. Sure it'd work fine but you'd have a bunch of extra cables, ports, hardware, and software complexity to make it work.
Just get the ETH into Tornado Cash ASAP, that should avoid any potential blacklisting.
Very happy to see this pass. It's idiotic that kids, while going to school, can be exposed to multiple tobacco ads that make tobacco appear as "cool" and "hip" and "desirable". These ads obviously work or else no company would do them.

The arguments used by the "No" lobby are:
* slippery slope of meat and alcohol being banned in advertizing; when meat is not even a drug (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slippery_slope).
* free market disruption; when smoking is obviously a harmful substance and this law applies to all of the competing tobacco companies.
* little events like festivals, bars, and shops get less money; this is probably true but festivals can simply raise their prices a bit. For small owner-led shops, yes, less tobacco consumption => less sales and tobacco is a high-margin product.

It's a great example of direct democracy sometimes leading to better political decisions. It's easier for big tobacco to buy off just the legislators (whom actually made an extremely toned down counterproposal) than all of the public.
The real question is why is it being retired? Is it just not popular enough? Is it that there's not enough financial incentive? Is maintaining it really so hard that it's too much work to keep it?

I'm not sure I'd say "waste of time", just that it might pull the language in some directions it might not ought to go in. It would still benefit from the battle-testing, but there might be other "dogfooding" projects that would be more appropriate; the compiler is just a convenient one since you're already doing that work.
>- If it was fun they'd charge money at the door.

I'm not sure if 'fun' is the right descriptor, but certain fields of work with relatively high prestige and supply of applicants but relatively low credential requirements (in comparison to credentialed professions like law or medicine) pay little or almost charge money.

Examples include journalism (very low paying, limited jobs in North America), museum curation (requiring many years of low-paid, unpaid internship; most people can't afford it), and many creative fields (e.g. graphic designers are, in my view, paid very low comparative to the skill and creativity they bring; creative writers often have to pay to submit to a literary journal; and video game developers are notoriously overworked/underpaid, compared to other types of software developers).
Exchanges don't maintain the peg, buyers and sellers willing to transact at that exchange rate maintain the peg. Nothing stops you from submitting a buy order for 1.00 USDT paying 0.50 USD. There's just no guarantee there is a seller out there willing to take that deal.

Unless you think exchanges are somehow misrepresenting the trades occuring or the state of their order books, but I think this fraud would be difficult to maintain for this long on any exchange that actually supports withdrawal. If you have evidence of exchange manipulation I'd be interested to read it.
I would guess "expression oriented" would mean a lang with no statements, more like lisp.
Stablecoins are going to be another hard lesson for many, many people and yet another example of crypto failing to learn the lessons that built the financial system Crypto Andys seem to despise.

This has been tried. We've tried pegging currencies. We had the Bretton-Woods system. We've had currencies that were partially or fully backed by hard assets (most notably gold). For the record, since this seems to come up so often, the US dollar was never 100% backed by gold. Not once. Ever. Fiat currencies exist for a reason. Central banks and managing money supplies exist for a reason.

Ultimately a stablecoin is a form of price control between two assets. And just like any other price control, its ability to maintain that peg only go so far as how much money someone has to fight against the market forces driving those prices apart.
Depends.

If there are a lot of unknowns then ‘build one to throw away’, ‘discover not invent’ and going in circles until you understand the simplest way to resolve circular dependencies are the way you do it.

I have been thinking about writing where sometimes I go through 10 or 15 iterations to figure out how to explain something in a way that gets across easily.

Slightly off topic but does it really feel difficult to keep up with tech skills? I find it's extremely easy. Front end guys seem to have it harder, but as a data scientist I don't feel I need to learn much at all. In the past couple years it's been... shap... and that's it? I don't feel the need to bother with any of the neural net stuff.
A plumber can be similar. In a craw space, I've soldered a coupler where I couldn't get the torch to light in the small space I had. Yep, there wasn't enough oxygen to sustain combustion.
I live in a place with similar laws (Ontario, Canada) - I can’t remember the last time I saw a tobacco ad. During my lifetime too we’ve banned tobacco displays in most stores (dedicated tobacco shops seem to be exempt?) - the packages are now in opaque cabinets, and you ask the teller to grab you the type you want. Our youth smoking numbers have gone from about 28% in 1999 to about 5% in 2019. To be fair, it’s hard to say what’s causational or not. Of course, youth vaping numbers are on the rise, and while that’s strictly speaking preferable to smoking, it’s hardly ideal.
10base-t1l would be very useful for me, if there were consumer priced products available. I've got a single extra pair running to a gate controller that can do 10baseT ethernet, which would be a perfect fit for this as a bridge.

With the power over data line standard, it could be super easy. One side has a power input, a rj45 connector and a two pin screwdown (or whatever), the other side just the rj45 and the two pin. There's a product out there that's using an analog hybrid to run 10baseT over a single pair, but my run length seems to be just a bit too long for it to work.

I feel similarly. I need a conceptual understanding of something to properly contextualize details. Like mental scaffolding to build my understanding.
I started in the trades 45 years ago. Worked as a deck hand, low voltage installer, cabinet maker, and service tech.

Climbing in a ceiling at 30 years old I asked my self what the hell am I doing? I have a hard upper bound in salary. I’m sore, I had stitches on several occasions, I’m a bit battered from physical labor. The after work drinking was a short term analgesic but a long term killer.

I realized a life time of labor is back breaking and will leave me a broken old man long before I should be.

I decided at that moment to move on to engineering.

My days of labor provided me with a great foundation for problem solving and understanding how projects are executed in the field. I wouldn’t trade the experience for anything, it was incredibly rewarding.

My office life has been equally rewarding. I worked as hard wearing a dumb tie everyday as I did wearing Carhartt.

The balance I struck was earning in the white collar world while keeping busy at home on blue collar pursuits. For example I took my contractor special condo from plain to fully executed trim. All of the doors and windows are cased, there is crown and picture rail. Some areas have wainscoting, the knock down wall finish is now level 5. There is 4 color paint.

I have since begun maintaining an old sports car.

For me it would have been hard to start on an office and then transition to a shop. The reverse worked best for me.
Why would I prevent this encounter? Did two adults consent to behavior they both felt benefited them? Who are you or I to suggest our ideals are better than theirs?

All I've said is that you, nor I, should be responsible for making this behavior possible - you seem to have misinterpreted my intent completely if you think the absence of a right is the same as a mandate against someones ability to participate freely as they wish with other consenting adults.
