The entire standard including all the dozen vendors shipping products occupy about 10-20% of the market based on our stats. Spring dominates the market. It's been around longer than Jakarta and influenced it a lot. Since that's made of multiple implementations there are advantages and disadvantages involved.

Don't get me wrong. I like Jakarta, Quarkus et al. They bring a lot to the table and the cross pollination with Spring (which goes both ways) is great. But if you want to hire someone the chance of them having real world experience with Spring is much bigger than them having similar experience with Jakarta EE. If they have Java EE experience it isn't as applicable.

Ukraine was neutral, now begging to be let into the EU, and in practice entirely dependent on weapons and training from NATO for national survival.

Why do you think Russia picks on Ukraine (neutral) and not Lithuania (allied)?

That arguably goes against the purpose of a craft marketplace. If you want competition over cheap imported products, there’s already Amazon and eBay.
I believe he’s grouping liberals with a more radical left wing, common by the right wing.

What he’s referring to is the BLM website stating “We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement” that it looks like they’ve since removed.

If sellers are willing and able to organize a change to their business operations, and put up a public site and social media/marketing push to raise attention ... then how much further would they need to go to just splinter off Etsy?

Is there room for a federated or coop model, where the sellers own+govern their own marketplace?
The crowning jewel of the cognitive dissonance is that places where people who complain about noise live and places the HOA would be up your ass over petty stuff are mostly the same places.
Just to make sure I understand your position... are you saying that it's OK for someone to copy someone else's original design, mass produce it at lower cost, and give no credit or royalties to the original designer?
Just to play devil's advocate for a moment, aren't "early adopters" rewarded in any investment that takes off, doesn't have to be a scam?

A decade ago there used to be "bitcoin faucets" on the internet that would "drip" free fractional bitcoins to promote interest.

> because it was built with current best practices, keeping the dependencies up to date and maintaining it would probably take multiple full time engineers / swe's at a FAANG.

Surely significantly less than one full time? But like 10% of an extra full time job that costs you money isn't a very good proposition
This is how I think about computers. I don't think it's a problem or really points to anything.
To be fair to the GDEMU situation you touched on for the Dreamcast, the reason the community took the side of the cloners was because it was nearly impossible to get a hold of the original authentic design. He made the ordering process as terrible as possible, seemed to have a shitty attitude to his actual customers, and the demand drastically outpaced his ability to supply the market. The retro community is large, but most of the time people would rather buy from the original source over a clone product, but in the case of the GDEMU he kind of forced people to choose a clone instead.
There are LOTS of AMP links floating around... most people don't even know that they depend on it...

The fact that someone did something terrible does not imply that everything they ever said or did was wrong. That's dangerous thinking. The Unabomber's short manifesto makes a number of salient points about the negative interplay between technology and the human condition, and offers a neat potential explanation for why so many people are unhappy despite being surrounded by modern conveniences.
A nice casual use case for a slide rule is metric conversion:

I have lots of anecdotes of the opposite. Many, many times I've been driving around SF and noted "Hey! That driver had an opportunity to be an ass and instead chose to be a polite, reasonable driver. Ohhhh, it's a Cruise car. That explains it." 9/10 times it's a robot car.
I’m shocked at the uniform cynicism here. The big banks are just now getting involved—and hate as you like, but they will bring way more accountability to a multibillion dollar market. When top, public facing companies like Jet blue or Microsoft buy carbon offsets, they don’t want to get scammed. They expect meaningful carbon reductions and accountability systems will improve the market efficiency over time. For instance, adjusting the credit amount based on probability and risk. No one wants to invest in something fraudulent!

We need an all-of-the-above approach to climate change and if carbon credits make a meaningful reduction in rainforest destruction, increase environmentally diverse farm fallowing, subsidize mangrove planting or more efficient technologies/practices, it could have a HUGE impact. Maybe give it a little time before adopting such dismissive cynicism towards markets and technology, please?

Am I completely out on a limb here?
Sure I agree, that is reasonable. Many people try to make the argument that all/most police are bad and out of control, which is what I refute.

There is a whole cottage industry now of in-canal earplugs made of clear or nearly clear material. The better ones have a relatively flat response curve. Etymotic sells some they bill as meant for concert goers (though theirs are not as covert as newer brands).

I have reports from multiple neurodiverse people about how much better they can deal with (loud) social obligations. One person diagnosed with ADHD is practically a different person with their earplugs in.
I think film prices have doubled or thereabouts in the past few years, this might be part of the global supply chain issues rather than a long-term condition (I hope).
I'm a sys admin, but lately I've been doing a fair bit of my time developing tooling, and this is very similar to my workflow. And it's been working spectacularly!

I've been using Nebula to be able to connect to my primary machine. Then I use mosh to connect, which works great when my laptop suspends, I move locations, etc... I just open up my laptop from the car while waiting for my daughter, over the cell phone, from bed, from the back yard if it's nice... Or my Chromebook. Or my backup chromebook.

Lately I've been using LunarVim, which has a lot of enhanced functionality via TreeSitter and LSP. I use oh-my-tmux for settings and a few plugins for doing keyboard-based selection/cut/paste.
To be fair, if I were merely vacationing somewhere right before I died I wouldn't disclose it either. Internet weirdos bothering me during my final weeks would be crap.
Thanks! I didn't know about the AOSA books. There are some really nice examples of top-level software documentation in them.
By compromises every distribution makes, I am referring to cases where one choice precludes another, and any distribution can choose just one. Security costs performance. It's hard to support 3d hardware with pure open-source drivers. Most distributions are fairly up-front about their project values so you can understand which way they will make these compromises.
That is certainly the idea behind traffic policing, license points, etc. All you need is police who enforce the laws that already exist.

The thing people don't understand about "poisonous" plants is there are very very few plants in the world that exist where a bite can just straight up kill you. And many others that are classified as "poisonous" are barely so. Spinach is so full of oxalates and some legumes we commonly are so high in saponins that there are other "wild" plants that we've classified as poisonous because of having similar amounts of oxalates or saponins

Also poison usually has a taste. Obviously this varies widely by the specific phytochemistry, but anyone who's foraged enough can tell you that you can always tell when you've misidentified a plant or a plant has tasted "off". It's really unsurprising then that people are able to experiment in this way

Lastly, I also wanted to point out that many of the compounds that make something poisonous can also give it medicinal uses. Like how chimpanzees will chew Vernonia amygdalina leaves to treat parasitic infections

While I almost agree with you totally, I have an issue with your characterization of Bitcoin in deflationary/inflationary terms because as you said yourself, it is not a currency to begin with.

Bitcoin or crypto in general is just an alternative* asset class, nothing more nothing less. Calling it a currency adds to the confusion and strengthens the narrative of the crypto enthusiasts in misleading the general public.

*: speculative
As an entrepreneur, I’ve been following Elon’s progress going back to when he sold zip2. It became evident he was an outlier when his new company merged with then sold PayPal and so I’ve been following him closely since that time - I don’t think there is an interview of his I haven’t watched. Adding all those up, it’s probably over 60 hours of interviews over a roughly 20 year timeline.

It’s not just the hours of interviews but also the ability to see how his actions play out over time.

This is why I can state confidently that he doesn’t give a rats ass about money or profit (other than using that wealth towards making humanity multi-planetary species). If you feel that is a greedy goal, than so be it, but he is not interested in money for himself
No you can't, because they report bugs in the same place that all the other people do, they create spam accounts, they concern troll, they divert conversations onto their pet issues, they do everything people have done to irritate other people on the internet for ages. It's very well understood behavior to anyone who has used an internet forum in the past 20 years and also obvious there is no magical way to filter this all out. You're running the project or part of the maintainer team, YOU have to separate the wheat from the chaff, no magical algorithm or "trick" is going to do it for you.

This is before the fun part where, depending on the level of "personality" you're dealing with, you might end up getting a fun weirdo who becomes obsessed with you for a little while and makes life miserable for everyone involved. I know one person who was stalked on GitHub (before they let you ban people from interacting with you, a fairly recent feature) and this person would comment on literally EVERYTHING they did, but only in a "nice" and "helpful" tone. You can't tune that shit out so easily, I'm afraid.

To be fair you also get some lesser psychopaths'; the angry guy who reported his bugs, replied and demanded to be replied to via Lisp programs in quoted code blocks was a more memorable one.
The differences between shopping at Ebay and Amazon are that on Ebay you're 1) buying from a particular seller with feedback that actually refers to their own performance and products, rather than "reviews" that refer to a semi-random selection of different products purchased from a completely unrelated range of sellers, and 2) on Ebay those products are half the price of Amazon.

Somebody sent me an Amazon gift card a while back, and I still haven't found reason to use it. The only thing I still find Amazon useful for is to buy small amounts of industrial supplies and parts that are usually sold directly from suppliers to businesses in large amounts, who often have terrible web storefronts (or only use Amazon for ecommerce) because they usually deal with their (buy-by-the-case, repeat) customers by phone or in person. If I only need two specialized bolts or two feet of tubing, I'll go to Amazon.
Etsy has a "Code as Craft" blog with lots of interesting reads. It's not been as active the last 2 years but has been re-launched with more posts the last few months.

The title (for the HN Post) is both (1) different from the original and (2) insinuates that the "Lab leak origin" theory for Covid SARS should have some credence, based on what happened in the Beijing lab.

> That doesn't mean it can't function as a currency, just that it maybe isn't a good one.

Yeah I mean, given a sufficiently retarded government anything can function as currency, when we say "X can't be Y" we usually mean "X can't function as a Y properly"

> The difference between 2% inflation and 0% inflation is just that - 2%.

The point is that normal fiat currencies can be regulated by their central bank, the difference between 2% inflation and 0% inflation during a recession could be the difference between a manageable downturn and riots in the streets. That's an extreme example and often not the case, but why would you deprive yourself of the lever of money supply? There's a reason we're not on the gold standard anymore.

> Bitcoin is currently issuing at a rate of 1.5%. The reason it is volatile has absolutely nothing to do with it's "deflationary" nature.

Which makes it deflationary by definition if the economy is growing at more than 1.5%/yr in real terms.

I've got the iPhone 6 ans it still works fine. :)

Although I sometimes wish I had the iPhone 6s so that I could update to the latest iOS version.

But iOS 12 still gets security updates every once in a while (last one — September 2021, and there were several last year) so I'm in no hurry to upgrade.

Perhaps come the next iPhone SE.

How much do students’ scores in PISA reflect general intelligence
International Large-Scale Assessments (LSA) allow comparisons of education systems’ effectiveness in promoting student learning in specific domains, such as reading, mathematics, and science. However, it has been argued that students’ scores in International LSAs mostly reflect general cognitive ability (g). This study examines the extent to which students’ scores in reading, mathematics, science, and a Raven’s Progressive Matrices test reflect general ability g and domain-specific abilities [...]

The finding that students’ responses to PISA test items reflect general ability rather than domain-specific abilities, if replicated to other countries, could have important implications for the design of large-scale assessments and the interpretation of analyses of large-scale assessment data.
Earth being the center of the universe makes a lot of sense in a naive way, it doesn't feel like the earth is moving. Sat in this chair, I feel as though I am at rest, and when I look at the sky long enough, I see that the stars are moving.

And even with Copernicus's insight, he was still missing some key details which made it harder to believe he had the general idea right. Copernicus modeled the solar system using circular orbits, not elliptical orbits. To fit the observed data to this model, he needed epicycles, just as the geocentric model required.
Maybe they can take it to the Supreme Cou...oh, right.
Except safety has only ever been improved for either aircraft or drugs by people dying from exactly this kind of failure.

I think I'm headed the same way you went.

It's crazy how these 2 platforms seemed to have switched places. Several years ago, Amazon would have been the place to do for scam-free purchasing, and eBay was the shady site that you had to do your due diligence on before buying.

More and more it's the opposite. I have to wrangle with searches and filters on Amazon to try and avoid the "fake" brands and knockoff goods. eBay is easier and often cheaper to boot.
No that's an incorrect assumption, I dug into it.

GS 7 and walk through the steps as normal for that role, jump to a higher GS via a job change/similar.
Washing machines consist mainly of materials that are easily recycled and very economical to do so. Metals, mainly, in a large package. Pure copper in the motor. All of which can be recycled to build a new washing machine.
You're trying to do math in a scenario where you have no real numbers. Of course you can pull some stuff out of your butt (+10%, 1 year) to say it's going to save lives but unless you can justify those numbers it's meaningless.
> The interesting and difficult thing to process here is whether this is a provocation without turning it into 'whatabboutism'

I don't know what you mean with whataboutism in this context, but traditionally non-allied European countries considering their defensive options when Russia has invaded a sovereign nation is certainly not a provocation.

> Joining NATO means millitary bases

Not automatically. Not all NATO member countries have e.g. American military bases [1]. The Baltic countries have a small NATO military presence, but not a large enough one that it could pose any offensive threat towards Russia.

It's entirely possible for a NATO member country to say "no thanks" to foreign military bases. That might even be likely at least in case of Finland which has maintained its own credible defensive capability.

If Sweden or Finland consider joining NATO, it's because they'd like to have someone's back in case of a crisis, not because they'd want to host someone else's offensive capability.

> troop exercises

All military forces conduct exercises.

> and 'defensive' missile installations that can be easily converted to offensive missiles without any visibility

Again, that's up to the individual member countries. Also, I'm not an expert on missile tech, but I don't think e.g. anti-air missiles can be easily turned into cruise missiles or other kinds of offensive weapons.

--

Russia would likely consider Sweden or Finland joining NATO as a provocation. But it's not really possible in good faith to believe it would actually be one.

Because contrary what you appear to believe, Russia's war on Ukraine was never about NATO expansion.

The context you are missing is outlined quite clearly in Timofei Sergeitsev's RIA Novosti article, What Russia should do in Ukraine.
> This is not a group of competitors

Why do you say that, just because things sold by Etsy merchants aren't sufficiently substitutable for each other?

I think Etsy sellers are certainly less in competition with each other than say, idk, oil sellers, but I do think there is some degree of substitution between the kinds of things sold on Etsy, and so to a degree they are competitors.

> etsy is not 'the market'

So? It's a significant part of the market. A cartel influencing just one seller doesn't necessarily make it not-a-cartel.

> sellers have not agreed anything to each other

Have they not? Isn't that the whole point of the strike? Communicating to other sellers "hey how about we all do this thing together? if only a few of us do it nothing will happen, but if all of us do it we can influence Etsy".

----

If you replace the many small Etsy sellers with a smaller number of larger sellers, this starts to look very much like a cartel "bullying" a buyer. Like OPEC refusing to sell to the US unless they abide by certain policies, or something.

Like GP I don't think this is bad or anything, but it's interesting to note that cartels and strikes are kinda similar in shape, and it's more "sliding" properties (how many sellers? how big are they? how strong is the competition between them?) that differentiate them.
Even that statement --- which few liberals are even aware of, let alone agree with --- is wildly misconstrued. It refers to the fact that Black families have historically lived in generational households with children raised by grandparents and aunts as well as parents, a model (1) common to several European ethnicities and (2) actively discriminated against in suburban America (explicitly, by zoning laws). It's not a declaration that fathers are useless.
> The only carbon offsets that should be permitted are direct air capture of the CO2 you're emitting.

That's not an "offset" - that's just a system that doesn't emit CO2. Offsets are when you decline to reduce CO2 emissions, instead paying someone else to <mumble>.

Offsets were always a scam. As I recall, they were sold to us with the promise that carbon "prices" were introductory, and were supposed to go up quickly and dramatically. At any rate, the whole idea of a "market" in carbon emissions is silly, because the price of the underlying asset is set by governments.
Just a heads-up that I could see both the project name and specifically the domain causing some confusion with the pre-existing ElementaryOS project (whose domain is https://elementary.io).
