Large cryptocurrencies have more liquidity, meaning it's less likely you'll get large price differences between exchanges in difference countries, and more likely that any given exchange will support trading in that digital currency. For large trades, more liquidity also means less price slippage upon buying or selling the cryptocurrency.

>Capability security is almost as old as access control lists.

Yes, but it's never been fully implemented. Separating superuser/root from normal users was a good first approximation. However, in the modern era of persistent internet and mobile code, we need to finish the job.

Theoretically, you could start a new process having previously created a new UID and having turned off access to all files in the ACL on the root, but can a user do that? Easily? Can you explain it to someone's mom?

Money in a wallet is capability based, and people have managed that model since the beginning.

I'm fine with ACLs for managing overall access to file structures on a per account basis, they don't work for a per execution instance basis.

2. Hard to believe that is true in the general case.

Typical scenario for SPA is to use some sort of REST API, these API:s are usually designed for general usage, not specific usage, i.e. designed to be reused between components and views thus they basically return everything of a specific model regardless if data is needed or not.

Therefore the controller queries the database with the equivalent of SELECT * on a table (or perhaps multiple tables with joins) and then exposes every field.

And in many cases one request is not enough because the common generic design of REST APIs, thus a few request more are fired that results in multiple SELECT * against the database, and eventually the equivalent of SQL JOIN is performed in JavaScript.

Already SPA solution has an increased cost by asking for data that is currently not needed, not only in the traffic between the database and the backend but also in the traffic between the backend and the frontend.

And because we want to be good REST citizens we sprinkle the JSON payload with timestamps, resource urls and pagination information and what not and in majority of cases never to be used.

Comparing that to SSR where you can fetch what you need from the database with custom SQL query (I hope you do, otherwise the SQL leprechaun will make a visit).

Just imaging how much data there is on the web that is requested and then just discarded, not even looked at.

It is possible to design custom REST endpoints for each component, but then of course what is the point of a SPA then? If you are already writing a custom REST endpoint just return HTML instead of JSON and then swap in the new and swap out the old for your component (one-liner), the end result is the same.

SQL -> (Array of) object(s) -> JSON -> Javascript (Array of) object(s) -> HTML

can therefore be shortened to

SQL -> (Array of) object(s) -> HTML

3. That doesn't make any sense, number of languages are still the same regardless.

You mean they withdrew the proposal to remove the words that complicated the headline.
Lyn Alden addresses this characterisation:

https://www.lynalden.com/bitcoin-ponzi-scheme/

"Bitcoin doesn’t really meet this broader definition of a Ponzi scheme any more than the gold market, the global fiat banking system, or less liquid markets like fine art, fine wine, collectable cars, or beachfront property. In other words, if your definition of something is so broad that it includes every non-cashflow store of value, you need a better definition."
All your variants are based on the assumption that Russia wants to stay in Ukraine. From what I've seen i don't think that's the goal.

Russia probably wants eastern Ukraine (and let's admit it, Donbass and Donetsk are not Ukrainian anymore since 8 years), but has no interest in occupying the western part, only in ensuring it stays neutral geopolitically.

People talking about Russia planning to invade Finland or other countries next are completely delusional. Russia is a small economy and has no chance of winning an open conflict with NATO. You may not like Putin but he's definitely not suicidal.

Across the room normally but I signed up with plutosphere as well which offers VR streaming from the cloud. I have yet to try it because they have some capacity problems, but initial feedback from users that got in were good. I want to try it mainly to evaluate and for travelling as I already have a great game PC.

But latency does not seem bad enough there to worry about. Not everyone is as sensitive to that anyway and once you have your VR legs it becomes even easier.

I prefer local computing over streaming anyway. But like I said for travelling it might be a great option.

I think hearing aids proper are pretty decently priced when it comes to the hardware. I'm not saying they are cheap (I grumbled too when I had to pay .. but then I realized why they are expensive). A lot of the cost is on services such as fittings, material for molds, etc. Do you have a fine-grained breakdown on the costs?

On the tech side, hearing aids are much more impressive than headphones. But I do agree the tech can go much further. I'm a research scientist, and I am curious to learn more about the academic communities that work on this tech. If anyone has pointers, would appreciate it.

The enlightenment position holding: «Monsieur l’abbé, je déteste ce que vous écrivez, mais je donnerai ma vie pour que vous puissiez continuer à écrire» isn't celebrated by the mainstream culture anymore. It always was a bit hypocritical, there were historical boundaries for whatever the contemporary view of obscenity might be, but free speech was still valued. Nor is the simple child's rhyme "Sticks and stones may break my bones But words shall never hurt me" held to be true. We really need to figure out a middle way that preserves some of the older enlightenment virtues with more modern understandings of verbal harms. There has to be social norms that discourage assholes without the instant-banishment, or fear-of-mispeaking that has edged its way forward. Or the boorish result of the backlash involving those saying any inane thing without a filter.

> The weird thing though ... is how recent that polarization really is

The weird thing is that people refer to the period of the overlapping post-WWII realignments, and the associated misalignment of the divide between the major parties with the major ideological divides, as being “pre-polarization”, since it was a time of intense political polarization, characterized by the period of the some of the most intense and violent sustained internal political conflict in the country after the Civil War (the overlapping Race/Civil Rights, Anti-War, and some overlapping less conflicts of the 50s-70s), where the polarizing issues just didn't cleanly align with the divide between the major parties.

Intense political polarization isn't new. What is new (or, rather, has returned to it's historical norm after an unusually long break) is the partisan divide actually aligning with the main salient ideological divides around which the polarization occurs, as the period of realignment settled out around the early-to-mid-1990s.
> Also, Sweden which will have

Just you wait! I'll be right in the end! You'll see!

LOL.

Regardless, as I said, using the example of Sweden (an outlier in policy) to point to Canada as being specifically bad, is fallacious. Maybe Sweden will have a better set of outcomes. That doesn't mean Canada is uniquely bad. Their lockdowns and related covid measures have comparatively middle of the road in global terms.

And yes, they froze the accounts of some of the protestors engaged in illegal activities. They did not, as you claimed, freeze donor accounts. The article you linked to doesn't make that claim either, and simply says they would be able to freeze accounts linked to the protest, it doesn't give any more details than that about what actually happened.

Given that all your claims have been so hilariously wrong and obviously biased, I don't think I give a **** what you think about the Trudeau 'regime'. The reality is more or less bound to be the exact opposite.

You might want to change your media diet a little - right now it's heavy on the right wing talking points and not so good on objectivity.
>>What exactly about the current state of crypto is incompatible with this critique?

Ethereum is by far the most widely used cryptocurrency network, and while it consumes a lot of energy relative to the number of transactions in processes, and a lot of energy in absolute terms, it consumes on the order of a thousandths (0.1%) of the world's energy output.

It will have switched to Proof of Stake long before it grows large enough for it to account for a materially significant portion of global energy consumption. So the rhetoric used above, which makes the generalization that "Crypto is a planet-destroying ponzi-scheme", is entirely hyperbolic with respect to the environmental criticism (and a blatant mischaracterization with respect to the ponzi-scheme allegation).

> There's no reason to have to write overly abstract code in Java.

Whether that's true is beyond the point, which is that the majority of Java code out there is in fact overabstracted. That should serve as a hint that there may just be something about Java that does lead to overabstraction.

> As for error handling, compare [...] It's much harder to follow what's going on.

Making error-handling code paths happen implicitly in the background isn't a straight win. For example, you lose the ability to tell a fallible function from a non-fallible one, especially at the point of calling it.

Overall, I find that being able to see all code paths explicitly laid out is better, Go syntax aside. Keep in mind that these examples are tiny, and therefore it's trivial to see how exceptions would implicitly propagate. They become much harder to track as the size and complexity of a codebase grows.

> Now add more complex code (e.g. code that does validation or something and you'll see how it blows up) [...] 1 line maps to over 15 lines, I don't think that's readable.

I wouldn't say the amount of lines is a great indicator of readability, not unless the difference was in the ballpark of maybe 1 to 100.

---

I don't think this code sample is representative:

- what would happen to this pretty one-liner if I wanted to catch the exception raised in `i.validate()` and raise a different exception instead?

- you can create the .map() function in Go too

- the Go code size will not grow linearly as you add more .map()/.filter() calls

I feel like a good example of Java code would be much denser, leveraging several expressive language features that Go doesn't have.
What makes you say employees working in cities don't have managers making sure they are doing their jobs?
I didn't say they or I thought he was a strong leader. But in relation to the invasion, Biden seems to have put in the work working with NATO and allied leaders to ensure the sanctions could be enacted swiftly and broadly and has publicly and privately expressed strong support for NATO. This contrasts with his predecessor who openly discussed his desire to withdraw at different points in time. European diplomats have apparently expressed that they wouldn't expect any support from Trump if he were in power now.
Virtually all electronics these days use switched-mode power supplies/chargers.

I presume that your desktop computer has a metal case and typically desktop power supplies also have their own metal case. So if the desktop doesn't bother you, then it suggests that the double Faraday cage effect is working for you.

It would appear that you are either reacting to the super-audio whine of switched-mode chargers or possibly even the high frequency EMF radiation. Both sources are known to cause distress in some persons.

Personally, I sleep far better by not having any electronics in the bedroom and even switch-off power outlets near the bed. In the days of CRTs I used to be bothered by screen flicker. I could only tolerate Sun workstation monitors and some high-end Sony screens - all running at 75+Hz refresh rates.
I agree with you in that, we should drop this nonsense, and administer IQ tests legally.

Until laws change, this rigmarole will continue though. Administering IQ tests is illegal, that's why this rigmarole exists in the first place.

The military isn't subject to silly laws like that, and they do administer IQ tests directly, and place talent accordingly.

Because it increases the supply of candidates. I also have a bias to believing it increases Diversity and Inclusion, which I think are also good things.

Still, the Stripe folks could have at least offered to help him collect the back payments, and (better yet) send an email to his customers taking the blame for this (which would cost them nothing and would reduce the harm to his business).
