At my organization it's always been true. Setting up GitLab is fairly easy, in my company we do it and it's cheap (on-prem hosting is basically zero, and we had the IPs/domains already) and it hasn't given us too many headaches. I think last time I had to do something was maybe a few months ago when I restarted it so that it picked up the updated SSL certificate.
Let’s you know the ticket is authentic because you can see it is part of the set of tickets the band/venue initially created, because of atomic transactions I can guarantee if I send you money I’ll get a ticket in return (NFTs are just another form of currency at the end of a day), because they’re unique I know no one else can own it even though it’s all public so I won’t have issues at the door, because they allow metadata the venue can confirm if they’re resellable or not on the NFT itself, a venue can get a % of resale value back allowing more second-hand markets to exist, among various other possibilities.
Take a look at the hundreds of new research papers on psychedelics which have been published over the last decade. That's at the root of the "psychedelic renaissance". The renewed interest in psychedelics in the general population stems from that research, which has been widely reported in the mainstream media.

People are also becoming aware of the healing powers of cannabis, believing less in the Reefer Madness-type anti-cannabis propaganda from yesteryear, knowing people who use cannabis or using it themselves and seeing that it didn't ruin their life and was actually kind of fun/helpful, and seeing that the sky didn't fall when cannabis was effectively legalized all over the place. They understand the same could happen with psychedelics.

Also, psychedelics have been widely used at music festivals and raves, and there's been a lot of ayahuasca tourism and other psychedelic tourism in recent decades.. which leads me to believe that you're hanging out with the wrong crowd if the people you know don't have much experience with psychedelics. There have been many millions of people who've used them. Their use is not a media myth.

As for cultishness, there's a little of that, but I'd call it more of a health fad than a cult. Fortunately there's a lot of research showing that this particular health fad actually works to help a lot of people, unlike a lot of other health fads.

I am concerned that widespread religious use of psychedelics could eventually lead to a small minority of people getting fanatical, self-righteous, and destructive (ala Manson's own cult, Jonestown, or the various religious wars that have been fought throughout history), but I'm not aware of anything like that happening yet.
Interesting thought! My guess is that it would depend on the size of the blast. I can imagine a scenario where Putin uses one (or a few) dial-a-yield type warheads turned all the way down. The point isn't to blow stuff up, it's to clearly communicate "I am willing to use nuclear weapons".

In that scenario, would a few kt be enough to set off sensors / be distinguishable from noise? I don't know.

Still, a very good idea and worth looking in to.

No need, just use Codeberg.org instead. They run Gitea and is a free collaboration platform (+ git hosting) for free projects. FOSS/OSS should really consider alternatives to GitHub and GitLab, especially when there are much more FOSS/OSS friendly platforms around.

What's the difference between GitHub and GrubHub?

GrubHub delivers
One patch (back in Corretto 11) relates to arm64, the CPU architecture that their Graviton EC2 instances (m6g/r6g/c6g/etc) use. It significantly reduces lock-related context-switch overhead and improves performance of high-concurrency Java applications as a result. Replacing OpenJDK 11 with Corretto can reduce CPU utilization of Kafka brokers on that platform by up to 20%.
I think you are getting too into the weeds with these complaints. This hierarchy is pretty good. Performance and security are important, but they aren't always a full stop, where a change the breaks the API should always be a full stop. Each higher level is less likely to be a hard stop, and the border between levels is necessarily somewhat grey.

I would use PCE inflation of 5% and output gap of 0 which gives 8.5% target.

5 + 0 + 0.5 (5-2) + 2

Atlanta Fed has a calculator https://www.atlantafed.org/cqer/research/taylor-rule

to the extent you think there is an output gap or you are willing to let inflation run hot for a bit due to COVID catchup because you think it's temporary, you can shade that down but it only gets you a couple percent. so the march 2022 Fed dot plot with rates maxing out around 3% seems pretty optimistic.

but if they posted a dot plot in line with Taylor rule, markets would crash, politicians would go nuts. so they are not going to do that, so they will keep tightening gradually and hope for the best. it's hard to see inflation cooling sufficiently without a recession. eventually at some point of course we will end up in one. the question is how long and how high inflation has to get. the political implications of a recession right now are a bit grim.
In immediate danger? Absolutely not.

This was an attempt to predict future behavior of Donald Trump based on past/present behavior, taking into account the possibility of Donald Trump remaining president for a second mandate.

If you recall, as seen from Europe, Donald Trump was:

- exhibiting a number of traits typically attributed to fascism (using Umberto Eco's classification, I count a perfect 14/14 for Trump, based on speeches I've seen him deliver);

- friendly relationships with many authoritarian/dictatorship governments (including Putin's Russia), hostile relationships/threats towards democracies (including most of the EU);

- a tendency to betray allies and leave them to die (I'm thinking of Kurds, but abandoning Afghanistan is a joint Trump-Biden venture);

- generally, a strong tendency to use international relationships as a pedestal to cater to the subset of his supporters that had no clue about international relationships and cheered him whenever he rattled his saber, threatened his allies and started a trade war that absolutely no sense.

While none of these points definitely meant that Donald Trump was dangerous to the EU, at some point, EU leaders started wondering exactly on which side the US were. They would have been crazy not to.

Maybe there's no trigger. You "trigger" it by inspecting the binary. Like how sometimes circuit boards and even circuits (even some chips famously) have embedded easter eggs. To some degree for someone to discover but more for the authors to celebrate their creation.
You hit the nail on the head, I'd say. If there is one chain, you need to amass 51% to attack it, which is nearly impossible. If there are 100 chains with 1% of the total hash rate each, you just need to control 0.51% of the total hash rate to take over one of those chains.

"There's no secret ingredient"

I've found this to be very applicable to life. I often instinctively look for some magical silver bullet solution for hard problems. This makes it easy to procrastinate instead of just taking the best action I can come up with right now. To not act is also a choice and we often forget to compare the utility of non-action to action.

Which is why I recently kicked all the cross-env out of my nodejs projects and replaced it with Ruby's dotenv[0] (in projects that already used ruby alongside) and zenv[1], in Rust for projects that don't.

That's the issue: past IT was made human-centric, the Desktop as the center of the digital World, the humans as someone who bend his/her desktop to his/her needs and desires, with a network to communicate with other humans. Modern IT is "big player centric" and evolve just for their own needs and desires witch happen to be far from all the rest of humans.

Did you remember the big push toward full-stack virtualization (on x86) not so many years ago? Who really need it? In most cases those solutions are just ways to sell hw. Such push turn out to be unsustainable on x86 and so the container era was born, again who need it? Oh, a cloud provider that sell VPS yes, it need both full stack virtualization and various paravirtualization solutions, the rest of the world have no benefit running ks at home, often on a single physical machine. Snap/Flatpack/AppImage? Same story they serve the purpose of giving distro and community independence to commercial players but who need them?

All "modern" IT is prehistoric* respect of original Xerox/Symbolics and even AT&T IT, but sold as new not to improve our life but against our interest giving us just some crumbs and lock-in for the sake of few big players. Those in the FLOSS world who follow the trend are actually workers for free against their own interests.

The demand is "little" just because ignorance is high. And that's a classic in all society, people who know, people with culture, are always a minority, but that's does not means their "desire" are minor, they just know their interest others do not but would benefit equally. And that's why FLOSS should be mandatory and universities MUST be public and well founded to drive the research ahead of the private sector that can only pick some research to implement and sell the outcome not drive the society toward a devastating path.

> Sometimes you just need to stop thinking so much and get through the day.

I can be moved by this philosophy all the way to tears and crying (and it did happen in the past). However, the even more tragic part is that it doesn't exactly apply in today's world where most people are bound to their jobs. If they don't "worry" about the future and quit and try to do something else that doesn't work out... well... rent / mortgage installment is still due in two weeks.

I really LOVE the philosophy you cited. I just can't see how it's applicable to today's world. The system is specifically made to keep us as hamsters on wheels.
> Infantry marching unprotected would be slaughtered by even semi-accurate small arms fire, especially from prepared positions.

I'm no military expert. But my understanding of military tactics is that an IFV (ie: M2 Bradley) is expected to have its squad of ~6-soldiers dismount ahead of time. The 6-soldiers maneuver / flank as needed, while the IFV's 30mm cannon + rocket launchers + light armor can be used to fight some positions.

So the full team is M1-Abrams (Tank with big 120mm gun + very thick armor, requiring specialized weapons to kill), M2-Bradley (IFV with 30mm gun + rocket launchers, with very light-armor) carrying a squad of 6 infantry.

The infantry could fight from inside the M2-Bradley, or outside the Bradley (mounted combat or dismounted combat), depending on the circumstances. The M2-Bradley's armor is very thin and made out of aluminum. I don't think anyone expects the M2-Bradley to actually take much fire.

-------

The M2-Bradley means that infantry can "march" with the tank at full speeds (M1 and M2 are designed to have similar top-speeds and maneuverability). But in a contested area, the squad-of-6 will dismount and run around (scouting, running cover-to-cover), and support the M1 and M2 as appropriate (Ex: looking for mines, calling out enemy bazooka / missile troops, etc. etc.).

Mounted-combat (ie: the squad-of-6 shooting out of the M2's portholes and relying upon the M2's armor as cover) is if the group is trying to get somewhere, either retreating... or advancing... to some other position.

In any case, anti-tank weapons designed for thick uranium-steel alloy armor would absolutely destroy an M2's aluminum armor. No one actually expects the M2 to seriously survive any serious firefight except only against the lightest of light firearms.

I find it difficult to believe that operating a major newspaper is as expensive as licensing a film catalog.

Admittedly I have no specialty on either and could be completely wrong.

I also know many papers are local, where as films tend to have a broad audience.

I think there has to be a better way. News is definitely ripe for innovation just like Apple and Spotify did to music.

I end up finding articles from the whatever paper is local to Lincoln NB and I think they deserve to get paid. But sorry: I am not subscribing to the Lincoln Herald or Brisbane Times or whatever local paper just because I happened to end up on one of your articles from 4 years ago through a search.

There has to be a better way.

This is too nuanced a take for most people, the kind who want to engaged in polarized 'discussions', to care about. Or use-case specific coins that solve a particular problem (Filecoin <-> IPFS relationship). Web3, crypto, blockchain have all become poisoned topics that are mostly divorced from the technological characteristics underneath them.

This combined with the idea that if those technologies don't solve a problem for "me" then they're not useful technologies just makes these discussions worthless. I'm sure there are many more Ukrainians and Russians who will permanently think differently about "crypto" in a way that most USA resident will (hopefully) never need to. Some will use it for good, some for evil, but underneath that morality is just a technology.

> Why are people entitled to credit?

I am with you there. But unfortunately, many entities check credit to decide whether they want to rent you an apartment, whether they want to install pre-paid home internet to your house or hire you for a job in many instances.

So my argument is simple, if you want to check my credit to rent me an apartment, then the credit system should use my rent payment to increase my credit score, and this should apply to every bill I pay, be it prepaid or post paid.

I think it depends on what you mean by IP and it's unfortunate that the hardware space overloads those terms. My understanding is that they aren't using any IMG hardware IP blocks, and are simply licensing a couple ancient patents.

There are large similarities from Apple hiring large portions of the dev staff though. Apparently IMG capped it's tech staff at £75k/yr total comp and so Apple just opened it's own office across the street.

The article says the chances of a problem with independent randomization are approximately 1 in 2^500. Recall a UUID is 128 bits. Am I thinking right, this would be the odds of roughly duplicating UUIDs multiple times in a row?

There is, at least for me, a big difference between "most things in this category tend to be this way", and "this thing is in that category, therefore it can't be that way". The first statement is a often useful heuristic, the second statement is an expression of close mindedness. Note that by categories here I mean vague human categories like "animated movie" and "deep".
What do you mean if doctors were good they would allow ten times as many people to become doctors?

That's not how it works. The process of becoming a doctor is much more formalised than you seem to insinuate and mostly does not depend on a single individual or a group of individuals other than indirectly.

I do agree that some doctors have a Messiah complex and are self-important to the point of absurdity, but they still mostly tend to do a good job.

I would argue that the limiting factor of why there is a general shortage of doctors and nurses is that the job is not the easiest one, physically or mentally, people tend to work long hours and awkward shifts and the education itself is challenging and long.

If you want an email and okay with anonymous - send an email. If you want verification of economic activity without the right to see that activity - ask for a credit card.

For one, most people don’t buy things with crypto and there are also many different coins on top of that. So even if tie an email to a particular crypto address, it’s not likely the average person can prove they have economic activity.

Then the motives are wrong on both sides anyway - I don’t want services I use to have a copy of my spending history, and they want a way to deanonymize me to discourage abuse, or charge me for their services. Neither of which sounds like it is part of what you are suggesting.

visually speaking, black is a problem. Black is a colour on computer displays but in the real world it's the absence of light

That isn't a problem. People don't want to use technology to exactly replicate the real world - they use tech to replicate the real world up to a point, and then they diverge into things that can't happen in the real world. People don't care if the black isn't quite right. After all, people watch films and TV a lot, and they have the same problem.

There are lots of reasons why VR might fail to become mainstream in the long term but graphics isn't one of them.
