>Except I'm trying to cover rational and irrational cases in separate halves of the "if". I know in many circumstances people aren't going to be rational. Those are covered by a separate argument entirely.

Your worldview is still to rigid to understand what I'm saying and maybe it's because I'm being too diplomatic. I'm not willing to say in absolute terms that Region 2 makes all decisions because science is never absolute; I'm trying to be generous in my wording and you're reading too much into it to fit your own aims. That's a perfect example of Region 3 rationalizing your mental model.

You're essentially saying "It's perfectly safe to stare at the sun." and when presented with different evidence, you retort "Aha! What about during an eclipse! See!? I told you I was right!" It's superficially true, sure, but such a minority circumstance that it's not only of little value, but it fails to understand the actual principles that guide the counterargument.

>All I'm saying is that region 3 is sometimes involved

Nobody is denying region 3 is involved, the key part is if it's making a the decision or just rationalizing it to make us feel good. Do you actually know what the "ratio of people" is to make your statement true, or is that just a useful mechanism for avoiding backpedaling on the claim? If we were talking about performing long division rather than a social function, we'd probably have a different discussion, but Region 2 is what governs our social interactions.

Look. Even the people at the forefront of cognitive psychology admit they can't overcome their Region 2 biases. These are Nobel laureates who've studied this stuff for decades and even they admit they are unable to make unbiased, rational decisions in real time. If they can't overcome it, the ratio of people who can is probably vanishingly small.

If you were to say from the onset that you acknowledge that people don't make such decisions with their rational mind, but if they were to, it would be a bad decision, that's perfectly sensible. You'd have acknowledged you understand both the mechanisms underpinning human cognition and the fact that you're hypothetical scenario is limited to a theoretical thought experiment. But that's not what you did, you made a claim and kept rules-lawyering around it when presented with counterclaims.

A thoughtful and curious person would say, "Huh. I guess I didn't realize that's the way the mind works." and then update their mental model accordingly. Those that aren't will dig their heels in to avoid the cognitive dissonance that occurs when their mental model is incorrect.

There's rarely a continuous 30min free time slot with a one-year-old running around.
I've never understood the appeal of using a product like Affirm, especially if you already have a credit card.

Credit cards already give you a 30-day grace period before purchases start accruing interest. Using Affirm to extend that to 42 days seems inconsequential.

It seems like their target customer are people bad with credit, which would make them predatory.

Color Standards for Terminal Emulators
Thats fascinating! Thank you for the history! It would be cool to see the best implementation of this JS based system however I feel like it would suffer from the some of the same problems as the Java system: namely with so many vendors, how can you ensure that each implementation will contain a robust JS rendering engine? Feels like that would just lead to publishers using off the shelf templates that do the bare minimum as we are seeing on Blueray.

How would the HD-DVD laser cope with having to read multiple streams? or does it read it ahead of time and just cache it somehow? One of the biggest annoyances of DVD was the fact that some player implementation had horrific seek times and so the menu transitions were mind numbingly slow.

I wish they would have watched AVGN's comedic take on DVD and Blu-Ray formats and just created a format that met all those specifications. Have you seen these videos?

A buggy edge case on a tiny borrowed amount does not equate a business model of a multi-million dollar corporation. I've borrowed a total of almost $10,000 thru Affirm over the years and never had problems.
I remember there was lots of buzz about a resurgence of the genre when Double Fine's Broken Age did the crowdfunding thing and raised $millions. A lot of excited people. And then that seemed to go away again when the critical reception to Part 2 of it was pretty contentious? I wonder what it would have sparked if it had been as much a critical and publicity success as the first part...
> their military was a complete mess until the end of the 2000s

Their military remains a complete mess, but that's largely irrelevant to the existence of a Cold War, which doesn't have to rely on both sides engaging in direct military confrontation with proxies of the other. One side doing their bit primarily by sponsoring, aiding, and instigating asymmetric threats against the other is a way a Cold War can happen, especially when it is shielded from many of the direct consequences that would otherwise be imposed by a large nuclear arsenal and a UN veto.
It's amazing (in the most uncharitable sense of the word) that a bunch of private sector office workers who joke about how relatable The Office is don't realize that stuff like Pentagon Wars (for feds) and Parks and Rec (for state and local government) are also basically documentaries for their respective industries.

I could mortar the cognitive dissonance together and build a wall.
> Due to heap fragmentation and various overhead it would quickly blow up

I think this is mostly likely the culprit. There almost definitely isn't that much contiguous memory available for a large file like this, so there are a lot of wasted pages (maybe 2-3x) which is causing that footprint to balloon.
This great. There is a lot of hidden inflation research that is defamed and associated with “conspiracy theories” because it doesn’t suit the government message. Meanwhile, tons of top hedge fund managers cite the research in their pieces.

For example:

Anecdotally it seems like the NY AG and CFPB are often pretty responsive. It at least creates a paper trail.
Does anything implement it like that?
everyone has unlimited unique addresses associated with each recover phrase, just use a different one. in Metamask its as simple as clicking the dropdown for "new account".

you have plenty of options for this:

1) withdraw from an exchange directly to the virgin address and never send funds back to the ENS one (except when you want people to know something, like to pump an NFT or token, similar to how state mandated Elon Musk ownership disclosures pumped Twitter)

2) “launder” (obfuscate) once and never look back to the ENS address. Withdrawing from Tornado.cash doesnt expose one of your addresses expose to initiated the transaction, so Tornado Cash will do an internal transaction (smart contract moving Ether to an individual address) with no link to one of your funded addresses.

Or just reset Metamask and make a new recovery phrase with a whole new set of unlimited unique addresses. this reduces any temptation to accidentally send to your ENS address.

you still have access to the ENS name and address. so just use it when you want.

there is no reason to reuse addresses and its comical that being married to an address has become default behavior.
> If you don’t want to offer the freedoms of a licence then pick a different one.

That's exactly what they did. Namely, they crafted a custom license that combined requirements from two other licenses -- granted in a confusing way.

> The authors are potentially setting users up for unintended infringement.

I do think the ambiguity in the contract language would certainly have bearing on any remedy the court would establish if they did find that the users infringed.

> I see it as similar to organic food. Once you add non-organic ingredients then it’s not organic any more. You can do what you want but it’s fair enough if everyone else asks you to respect the labels they’ve built to let people make informed decisions.

I'm not sure I see the similarities given that legal contracts are not a collection of labels. You don't sign a document that just says "lease" on it. If you're getting at the question of whether AGPLv3 + CC should be able to advertise itself as FOSS, then I agree, but that's not what this part of the conversation is about. If you're implying that they shouldn't be able to use the term "AGPLv3" in their license language, well I don't disagree but I don't know enough about the areas of law that would prevent that (is it trademarked? etc).

At a certain point, I guess you'd have to say to yourself (or I'd have to say to myself, would be a better way to say it), "I'll whore myself out for X amount of time for X amount of money, then I can do whatever I want or work for whomever I want for X amount of time, after."
Without locality pay, which varies by locality, a GS15 max salary is $146,757. The max GS14 is $124,764 and the max GS13 is $105,579. [0]

The 23 paid days off per year is only after 15 years of service. Someone new, without prior military service, would start at 13 paid days off per year.

The pension, for those hired after 1984 is roughly 1% x 3 yr high salary x years worked. (If you your three year high salary was $100,000 and you worked for 30 years, you get a pension of $30,000 per year.) You would also collect Social Security. (Feds hired prior to 1984 have a much higher pension and don't get Social Security.)

The OS you've installed gets security updates, but you're not getting any security updates from any of the software provided by the manufacturer. You're usually lucky if any of the drivers/firmware on any PC laptop's support page get updated more than a few months after release.

I was at Dropbox from 2015-2020, and it's funny how many things have changed and how many stay the same.

Changes:

- When I joined in 2015, it was already forbidden to just log text on the server. Only a small number of SREs even had access to the text logs. Any event that you cared about needed to be logged from the system described in "App-specific metrics", which was pretty easy to use. (That said, on desktop we still used logspam because when you're debugging a desktop client doing the wrong thing, sometimes the only lead you have is tracing which lines of code are being run by looking at which logs are being printed.)

- Re: shards, by the time I joined most of the mysql was replaced by a homegrown KV/graph database on top of mysql that had a fixed number of shards (something like 255).

Things that didn't change (at least by the time I left in 2020):

- Everything was in UTC, including in the UIs for everything (e.g. metrics, exceptions, crashes, etc). I ended making a GPS clock that showed UTC to put on my desk as a fun project, and I know at least one SRE who had set basically all their clocks to UTC time (e.g. phone, laptop, calendar, etc). This is in contrast to Google, where almost every system either shows your local time or "Google Standard Time" (which is just Pacific Time).

- Python was still used for virtually everything.

You would need to self host on Bluesky. Also it is just an open social standard that Twitter would be part of it. It would not be Twitter giving up control of Twitter data. They would never provide "completely unauthenticated API to access public content". The abuse vectors alone would destroy the network.
Yeah 30m of extra 'me' time could easily mean the wife loses half her free time. That breeds a TON of marital problems and issues if you don't clear it. A 1 y/o is basically a time vacuum.
Wind blowing into a face is something special. Watch dogs, they are crazy about it. Like cats can't resist hiding in a box, so dogs can't resist heading against the wind. :)

Though, seriously speaking, I don't know really. I think wind helps against car-sickness, and maybe more than in one way: sickness can be triggered by too much of CO2 in a bloodstream. It normally doesn't but I believe effects of disorientation and increased levels of CO2 are additive. So it is possible to be slightly disoriented (but not enough for a sickness), slightly deprived of fresh air (but not enough for a sickness), but to feel sickness because of a combined effect.

There are a lot of smaller companies that start off as 100% Mac shops. On the face of it, this is a smarter choice for them. Not every shop is a Fortune 500 that needs to support some nigh uncountable variety of setups.

I don't have a comparison to other states or agencies. I have file 2 complaints to NY AG in my life and I got responds in about a week from the people I complained against. One was my very first landlord after college decades ago, the other was a tow truck company about 10 years ago.

Having built desktop software - I found doing things cross platform is hard for various reasons.

1. You can't use any specialized features or APIs in one OS unless you implement it in all others.

2. If you use Electron you're basically building a webpage, which can only be taken so far in terms of user experience. While teams like VS Code have pushed the limits, you still can't do what this app is doing.

3. Increased test/QA surface area which becomes difficult - especially supporting Linux - which have relatively fewer users but you still have to properly invest time into supporting it, something startups cannot do.

I really don't see the point of this product, but there are plenty of small to medium teams which are mac only, and it's better to be an interesting niche rather than yet another collaboration and huddle-type software.

> The max GS15 salary is like $175k and there’s lots of government benefits. Max GS14 is $150. Max GS13 is $125.

They are actually higher than that based on locality pay, here are FY22 numbers.

DC for example:

GS12 Max $116,788

GS13 Max $138,868

GS14 Max $164,102

Silicon Valley by comparison:

GS12 Max $126,742

GS13 Max $150,703

GS14 Max $176,300

GS15 Max $176,300*

> I hear the complaint that fed doesn’t pay for tech and I think that’s not true.

While the federal govt does pay, in many cases the federal pay is not as competitive as it needs to be for high demand specialties that require a good amount of skills.

Recently I was talking with an executive about building a software security capability within our engineering division for the space domain.

Trying to hire great talent capping out @176k is simply not competitive with all the local FAANGs and startups doing specialized software security work in the aerospace/aeronautics domain.
I don't think history has shown any of that given that we lived through an entire cold war with The Soviet Union that saw many proxy wars not unlike this one, missile crises and through all of this communication was intact and this remains the case, control structures were intact, and even though war is very scary hierarchies and safety systems remain intact. There are no automatisms or runaway scenarios and modern states have rational command structures or we'd all be nuclear dust already. And there have been way crazier people in power in the Kremlin by the way over the last century.

I'm a little bit tired of people whose entire headspace is WW I and WW II analogies because frankly it's not the world we've been in any more for a long time. And it's actually what has made the world more unsafe, because it has made leaders reluctant to act and confront aggressive powers.
