There you have a bunch of examples. Free speech in the US is restricted. That's the point I was making. You can be okay with the restrictions in place but you cannot ignore that they're there. That's just factually wrong.

You don’t have to have committed a crime to be suspected of one. Investigation alone can be damaging enough depending on circumstances.
Removing any friction for new users or players is such a huge deal, more sites should embrace this approach. Similar to how Facebook created ghost users for everyone, why not make this explicit? There are a number of plugins for popular web frameworks that create temporary user accounts for each visitor, allowing them to use the site just like a regular user. This way it's a bit more sophisticated than plain old sessions which allows it to be integrated in existing sites as well.

And if the visitor abandons the site their data will just be garbage-collected after a while.

How has the "US" expanded to the East? The US is bound by shorelines. I think your slip of the tongue is revealing of the propaganda against NATO. It's a membership driven club unlike actual invasion and annexation.

Sovereign countries choose to join the club. Besides, why would it be amusing for Russia to punish Ukraine for (perceived) grievances against the US?

Well I looked my Governor up and he makes $175k. California’s Governor makes the most at $201k.

I toyed at the idea of some Federal government IT jobs. An agency was trying their best to pay well and the level was similar to a civilian who has a PhD or MD doing federal work but still only a little more than the median software dev salary.

> Democracy, if we let it function, is antifragile.

There is a new meme where people say "X is antifragile" where X is something they like, while having no idea what antifragile actually means.

Taleb himself called large entities, typically considered the most democratic of all, like the EU or USA fragile. He advocates for "city-states" instead of "nation-states":

> The most stable country in the history of mankind, and probably the most boring, by the way, is Switzerland. It’s not even a city-state environment; it’s a municipal state. Most decisions are made at the local level, which allows for distributed errors that don’t adversely affect the wider system. Meanwhile, people want a united Europe, more alignment, and look at the problems. The solution is right in the middle of Europe — Switzerland. It’s not united! It doesn’t have a Brussels! It doesn’t need one.

Considering that Steve Ballmer once pointed out that "revving software is insanely profitable", there is no reason that companies couldn't use the model of selling new revisions every year or so, which the users are free to purchase upgrades or skip. It also provides a better incentive to write better software (so the users don't skip more revs).

The only reason to not do this is that subscriptions are even more profitable, more rent-seeking, and more extractive

The word "meme" was coined in the 1970's. It's a biology term which describes behaviors like cooking our food or wearing pants or voting. Things that one organism might notice another doing, and do the same themselves.

It had a resurgence in the 2000's where it was only used to describe media: image macros, phrases, that sort of thing.

If you take the latter usage, then you're right. There's more to this stuff than the pictures or words that we share about them. But if you take the original meaning then

> Whether it represents a need or belief of the people.

is indeed a quality of the meme.
> The main reason ASML has EUV is because it was funded by the US government to develop it

That seems like 20% true. The US had a brief EUV program ("EUV LLC") in the late 90s - it wasn't much compared to how much difficult, risky, and expensive development obviously still needed to be done afterwards. The EU also has basic semiconductor research, notably IMEC.

I have also seen that claim in a YouTube video by "Asianometry" and I wonder what the original source of that apparent misinformation is.
> And what about China? Trying to avoid memes completely might weaken the country's immune system

The argument is voided because Chinese memes are spreading regardless of government censorship. Even government agencies are making cringe propaganda videos inspired by popular memes. The only problem is that those memes are circulating inside Chinese language sphere and mostly inside the Great Firewall. The effectiveness of "censorship" is greatly exaggerated. In many cases, censorship itself is a fuel to memes, fighting censorship is a meme of its own called Chongta (crush the towers, derived from pvp MOBA games)

America does not have a superior meme culture. What's more damaging to its "immune system"? Ignorance & Arrogance.

I bought a carbon fiber framed Trek Remedy enduro/all mountain bike and repaired a fist size hole/delamination in the downtube at home for about $50 in materials [1]. Five years later it's also fine.

And I've taken the bike off 6ft drops and ridden it decently hard most of it's restored life.

CF repair can be done and plenty strong, it's just more risky because the properties aren't isotropic and simple like steel/alu so you can't just weld in a piece of metal of roughly the same thickness. I would not want to repair a bike I don't ride myself.

> Banks will be hurt by crypto

Anyone saying this is talking bollocks. Wall Street hasn’t seen a bonanza like crypto since ‘06. Hedge funds are having their best fundraising years since the 80s, largely on the back of crypto-related trading.

The best balance I can come up for crypto is to mandate KYC at all on and off ramps, tax its trading like the luxury good it is (maybe using the proceeds to fund law enforcement around scams) and ban or surtax mining using American power sources. (Let others spike their power prices and pay us for it.)

This article briefly mentions a very useful analysis tool for NGINX configuration: Gixy.

It looks for the following misconfigurations[0]:

- [ssrf] Server Side Request Forgery
- [http_splitting] HTTP Splitting
- [origins] Problems with referrer/origin validation
- [add_header_redefinition] Redefining of response headers by "add_header" directive
- [host_spoofing] Request's Host header forgery
- [valid_referers] none in valid_referers
- [add_header_multiline] Multiline response headers
- [alias_traversal] Path traversal via misconfigured alias

The alias traversal gotcha is one of the most pernicious I've seen. A single, seemingly innocuous '/' is the difference between a path traversal vulnerability or not.

Could you elaborate? I use a monorepo at work and if anything dealing with 3rd party dependencies is easier because you don't have to coordinate upgrading versions across teams. For 1st party stuff in the repo we don't have a need to version libraries at all, if it all builds and passes all the tests everything is good. The whole point is to use the whole tree from a consistent snapshot as a release, so you never worry about using a new first party library with an old first party binary.
My mistake, okay.

Edit: standalone is ~$2k. At these kinds of prices, will have to wait it out and see if they can deliver.

The price has to come down somehow to make this more readily available / accelerate use.
If everyone knew everyone else's pay, we'd end up paying everyone more money, since those overpaid will complain, and those underpaid will shut up.

Such a system will encourage rigid pay schedules (ie. all engineers with 5 years experience get X, non-negotiable). Rigid pay like that advantages poor performers, and good people leave.

The end result is a company giving pay transparency ends up either with a much bigger labor bill, or staffed by poor performers.

Governments requiring pay transparency though is a weaker effect - since it affects all businesses equally, and then there won't be anywhere for those good performers to jump to - although they may just leave the country.

Another interesting temperature dependence of water is the negative thermal expansion between 0°C and +4°C. The maximum density is at +4°C.

Therefore, between 0 and 4°C the usual law of natural convection (heat rises) is inverted and you get "heat falls" instead.

What this means is that in winter, the ice on top of water can be frozen but the water can be warmer further down and resist further heat transfer. Natural convection will not act to cool the water from above, and a stable stratified temperature gradient can form. This allows bodies of water to remain liquid in winter for longer than you'd expect in a "normal" liquid.

> Genes are the code enabling duplication of life. Successful replication paths have been stumbled upon so life continues to exists.

>None of that applies to memes

That is literally the original definition of, and concept behind, memes[0], as coined by Richard Dawkins in the 1970s - a self-replicating component of culture equivalent in behavior to a virus or DNA in biology, which acts to propagate cultural ideals, symbols or practices. The study of the "successful replication paths" of memes in this original context is called memetics[1]. You may have that confused for what "meme" has come to represent in internet culture, which is a popular image caption or joke that spreads no cultural referent other than itself, but that's not what's being discussed here.

Hey Nickphx,

Our pricing is a combination of provider/Region/VM size.
The lowest price is $0.014/hour for 1 vCPU/2GB RAM/20GB NVME, if you consider 730hours per month this means the monthly price will be ~ $10.22.

But you can delete the service at any time and this will stop the billing immediately. There are no commitments, we only charge hourly.
Basically, if users see them, they will do "human things" with them, like developing a preference ("hey, that customer is deeply annoyed that we identify them by the number 666, can you change it?"); argue about the rules ("why do customer numbers go from 1, 2, 3 to 21? this is wrong"); correlate and replace it with other identifiers that they will always guarantee that are 1 to 1 with them, but never really are; and a lot of other stuff you or me will never expect. All of the columns in a table are fit for human manipulation, the only exception is the primary key that has informational rules, so use some other column if they need a key.

It's not "keep them secret", it's "this data is for developers eyes only", it doesn't matter a lot where the developers are, only that they know the rules.
Like most of you, I myself have been investigating how to sleep better for quite a number of years.

The problem with most of what I read here is that you're (which is what I did too) using anecdotal reports to experiment on yourself to come up with something that you feel works for you.

I eventually stumbled on a podcast by Andrew Huberman (Neuroscientist/ophthalmology at Stanford) where he shares details of their research.
Just a couple of items from my notes (and there are much more)

- The quality of light during sunrise, as perceived through your eyes, sets off a "count down timer" of sorts in your brain
- The quality of light during sunset, reduces the sensitivity to light you encounter after sunset
- Your eye's structure is such that light coming from above enters the eye different from light coming from below.
- - Which is why in the morning you want to go outside to allow the sun light from above to enter, and,
- - in the evening to switch off the ceiling lights and instead use lamps that are set low.
- The old story about "don't use screens and bright lights in the evening" is true to some extent, but there is more to this
- - Candle light ; I've decided to go to the extreme, and switch to candle light at 9pm, set at desk or floor height
- - - I use this time to perform activities that dont require a lot of light (tidying, dishes, clothes, etc)
- circadian rhythms are key
- - when you eat and exercise is a way to set your clock
...

It just goes on and on with details that I would've taken a lifetime to find.

I'd suggest you start at ep1 as it sets you up with some understanding of how your brain works,
ep2 & 3 is all about sleep
ep 4 - goes into finding your temp minimum, jetlag, sleeplessness

I'm sure beyond ep4 [4] the topic of sleep will come up again, as it is the #1 thing that determines the quality of everything else in your life.

This bullshit is an example of anti-vaxxer mind to the core and shows the tactics used by them - fear mongering against vaccines and misuse of data.

Here is an perfect example, I quote: "In the 1844 smallpox epidemic, about one-third of the vaccinated contracted a mild form of smallpox, but roughly 8 percent of those vaccinated still died".

Does this show the efficacy of the vaccine or the lack of it?

You guess. Smallpox is known to kill 30% of the infected. This makes the vaccination of that time roughly 73% efficient against death. Well, not great but much much better than what is claimed here - i.e. nothing or worse. It is probably better because it does not account for avoided infections.

Does improvement of living conditions lower smallpox rate? Sure, if you have less people together, it definitely will. Better ventilation will too. Does it eliminate smallpox without any other intervention? Highly unlikely because it is highly infectious disease.

Did vaccination against it play major role in eradicating it? Definitely. How do we know this? Because we eradicated it regardless of living conditions of the billions of the people in poorer nations.

You still do not believe that this is a very cruel and stupid anti-vaxxer manipulation? Well, it talks about acquiring natural herd immunity against smallpox. Wait what? Is it possible? Sure, definitely! All you have to have is acceptance of 30% death rate and major life long deformations of others and willingness to not intervene.

Is this problem that this piece of garbage was written? No. The problem is that people are not educated about basics of epidemiology and do not understand how full of shit it is. This is what allows these lying bastards to survive.
Well yea I’m not not criticizing those models either, but since the OP was about the USPS I was mainly commenting on that. I wish I could just turn off the spam deliveries. I don’t care if the USPS makes money or not or paying taxes for it or whatever - just let me out of receiving any spam whatsoever.
I hate fees but you're right. In the past when a developer shipped software they could move on to other things, but these days there's always a new version to ship with some sort of upgrade or patch.

That said, some apps still don't need frequent updates, and those apps should be offered as a traditional purchase.
In a roundabout way libel and slander laws are a violation of the first amendment.

They're civil actions but it's the government through the courts that finds you guilty and imposes punishments, seizing assets, etc. It's very hard to win cases on those things as the judiciary does its best to still make it work within the structure of the constitution but it does nonetheless restrict my ability to say "viro eats kittens" without possible penalty imposed by the government.

"Tachyon" literally means "speedy particle". It's used to refer to a particle traveling faster than the speed of light. Special relativity relates velocity to elapsed time for a particle, and the upshot of that is that anything with positive squared mass must be traveling at less than the speed of light.

When you learn about quantum field theory you find out that particles can be modeled as linearized modes of fields. e.g. the photon is a mode of the electro-magnetic field. This is a more general theory than just treating particles as fundamental, because it makes predictions for creation and annihilation of particles. Again, squared mass appears in these formulea.

If you write down a field theory with a squared mass term that is _negative_, you might naively think that this gives you particles that travel faster than the speed of light. However, the modes of such a field would not oscillate - they would grow exponentially (at least until they get out of the linear regime).

This is what is meant by a "tachyonic instability".
I found this other translation to be closer to the original, while more comprehensible than the link in the article:

Honestly appreciate the feedback. I think we have a few things to address, but especially these two:

- Make our "pitch" better adding more info on our login modal, especially on what exact feature set to expect, and what's behind a paid Pro plan (the Profiles feature is completely free though)
- We definitely need to add custom domain support to Profiles, but it was just out of scope for the MVP. I'd love to have it myself, it's high on our list.

On the contrary, the gene rules apply to anything that duplicates or is duplicated. Not just ideas or phenotypes.

It’s a property of path-dependency. What exists today is a function of what existed yesterday, and not what did not exist. Everything that exists “descends” from something that survived the filter of reality, where only a subset of what is possible is realized.
