Any fix for a failure in human organization(s) is going to come from ... humans. There are no hall monitors here, and there's also no magic wand. When things are of a large enough scope, the way that humans tend to organize to get things done, or get things fixed, is called "a state". Just like all human efforts, the outcome will likely not be perfect. But there actually isn't another way. Sure, you can suggest the idea that some alternate organization could do something, but it too will not be perfect. And an organization large enough to do substantive things about the issues at the top of TFA will essentially be a state, whether you call it that or not.
Crazy, that's what I have always had with my windows laptops. My 2013 MBP 13 and M1 MBA work perfectly.

No, in terms of Bitcoin everything is cheaper tomorrow than today. That's the opposite of more scarce.

There has never been a time that Netflix streaming had more than a sliver of popular movies. Especially since the original deal with STARZ was over.
> None of their claims have materially panned out.

Well, I can send arbitrarily large amounts of money across the planet, to any country with internet access, for tiny sums, safely, irreversibly, to anyone.

Many people have sent many millions to Ukraine, for example. Transnational, permissionless internet money is quite handy.

That wasn't possible before, and that's pretty useful, so I think the basic claim (that cryptocurrency is useful) is holding up fine.
> which they categorically block

Everytime I check this statement with Cloudflare-enabled sites... it was either always accessible (a nagging screen might be shown momentarily, but that's it), or the block is usually due to that site being a bank or something else that will block Tor users regardless of their firewall solutions. I've just tested it again just in case something has changed, but that statement holds up every time.

Can you please give a non-banking site that a) uses Cloudflare and b) blocks Tor?
Lemur Pro owner here. I personally have super-mixed feelings about the machine.

Pros: Battery life is excellent. Used it for 12 hours while walking around a factory doing an IT system install, never had to charge it. Slim form factor is nice. With an upgrade to an i7, additional RAM, SSD, etc., performance is good for any task not requiring a GPU. It would easily be the best laptop I've ever owned, except for...

Cons: WiFi chipset died within months of purchase and had to be replaced. Battery swelled by year 2 to the point that the mouse was unusable, so battery had to be replaced as well. The machine shipped with Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, which had a Linux kernel bug that caused the machine to freeze when trying to throttle up/down the i7 CPU for power management purposes. I contacted System76 about the problem, and they didn't know anything about it... I ended up having to troubleshoot it myself, at which point I told them the issue, and they sent out an email about the fix to (what I assume was) all Lemur Pro owners. I thought buying a Linux laptop from a company that specializes in making Linux laptops would let me avoid these kinds of nagging issues around things like drivers and power management bugs, but alas it did not. More startlingly, I would have expected a company that specializes in Linux laptops to at least be AWARE of such an issue on their machines, but it seems they had no idea... I feel like I would have been just as well off going with a Thinkpad.

Related final pro: It was frustrating to have to replace multiple parts in this machine (especially so early in its life), but I have to give credit to System76's self-install policy. They sent me the parts and detailed instructions for doing the repairs myself. Saved so much headache.

Overall, I really want to love my System76, but I'd have to think really hard before buying another one.
> Because artists haven't generally backed themselves [into a] very unhealthy social scene of greed and deception

Except they absolutely have. The contemporary art market is exactly what you describe. There's sharks sitting in tanks of embalming fluid being sold for tens of millions of dollars just to be put in storage, and people laundering their money in art investment schemes. The contemporary art market is absolutely an unhealthy social scene of greed and deception.
Recent subscription price increase with no noticeable increase in content quality or availability, I am in Denmark, makes me reconsider my netflix subscription. Although I do need to watch Better Call Saul so they have me for that long.

Probably not related to password sharing at all and I do not think it is likely to increase subscriptions.

I will probably never pirate again, but I am considering getting out of streaming services and just put the money towards patreons of internet creators I like instead.
And that is another instance where many people part ways, because another big aspect of crypto is that it is partially motivated by a political ideology that most people politely reject and many people think is full of crackpots and scam artists (because it is).
Key-Moo for me… am I horribly wrong?

Then make a cup of strong builders tea (tea with milk and sugar) fold the toast in half and quickly dunk it in the tea.

I didn't make that argument, though.

If the starting position was "America's diversity concerns are not [e.g.] Ireland's concerns" I'm more sympathetic! In fact I think having software that tries to do this is fundamentally broken! But the starting position is always "we don't have any problems here" which is an even lazier, and wrong, argument.
Keep an eye on it though because they periodically re-enable it for you. So helpful.

> hostile against people who have become involved with crypto because they felt they had no other option

I've been a victim of this. People in crypto hate you for trying to do things the right way (connecting crypto to real economic value instead of engaging in tribal maximalism and hypemongering popular projects) and people outside of crypto hate you for being involved in crypto which they think is all scams.

The irony is that only the scammers on both sides win.
Turns out that people who dislike brutalist living silos are often also the same people who think we have a housing crisis. You can't have everyone live in Bath unless you demolish it and put Pruitt-Igoe 2.0 onto it. And as you've correctly pointed out: what then would be the attraction of any desirable place?
1) simple regex to rule out the common typos such as 2 or 0 @, no period in the domain name, etc. I don't care about people whose domain name consists of a TLD only. Bring your nerdiness somewhere else, every other service is already rejecting your exotic e-mail address already anyway. Same for spaces in the local part of the address, etc.

2) if second level domain not in list of famous second level domains, AND levenschtein distance is small with a domain on the list (typically gmial, oultook, yhaoo,...), display a huge warning. Don't refuse if the user insists it's correct, but show a huge and red warning that blinks. Same with the TLD to detect "cmo", "ogr", "inof" etc.

3) Maybe send a validation email, now that you've ruled out a big number of potential mistakes. You won't get that many bounces. Or don't send the email if you don't need to!

I fail to imagine a scenario that wouldn't be neatly covered by this 3-step process.
I mean that for any epsilon > 0, you can have a set of intervals of the form (a_i, b_i) where every rational number is in some interval and the sum over all i of b_i - a_i < epsilon.

That is, you can cover the rationals with intervals of arbitrarily small total length.
To be fair, Nvidia does a lot of “selling” when they’re basically making money from crypto and CUDA monopoly.
Asus TUF Dash Gaming 15 user here: I cannot recommend it enough.

- Intel i7 H series processor (best mobile Intel chips)

- Upgradeable RAM (currently at 24GB)
- Intel Wifi 6

- Nvidia RTX 3060

- FullHD Screen with 144Hz

- Comfortable keyboard with backlight

- Two M.2 slots, laptop came with 500GB but added an extra 2TB.

- Good connecticity: HDMI, Ethernet, 3 full-size USBA 3.1 ports, 1 Thunderbolt port.

- Laptop runs on a 200W brick with a barrel connector, but on the go I plug it to a USBC 100W charger, works flawlessly.

- Good build quality: back of screen is aluminum, laptop itself is made with plastic with no deck flex or other problems.

- Only deal-breaker, not for me though, is the lack of webcam. I have a small USB one that attaches to the screen when needed.

Battery life is around 9h for me doing Node.js backend development with VSCode, Firefox with +40tabs, PostgreSQL and Docker running the server running locally. It lasts longer with the screen set to 60Hz and tinkering with the power settings to disable the Nvidia card when only doing CPU-intensive jobs.

Best of all: I only paid €999 ($1,081 taxes included) for it on Amazon Spain. Plus the SSD and extra RAM.

But what makes you think that the real IP serves the same site to the public internet, as it proxies to CF? If I were using CF for DDoS mitigation, I would drop all traffic to my real IP other than traffic originating from CF.

Right, and saying "just pass a law" is asking the hall monitors to wave a wand.
Please keep in mind that even the slightest error in a silicon mask is likely to cause hundreds of millions of dollars of losses and months of delay in time to market for a modern chip.

With that in mind, does it make more sense to come up with new, experimental, untested algorithms... or just use wider numbers and slowly iterate on well known algorithms? Especially with LVS/DRC you really want the dumbest, easiest to reason about thing that is most likely to catch design issues no matter what. Even if it's excruciatingly slow, it's your last line of defense against writing off a set of masks as a hundreds of millions of dollars loss.

EDA / silicon CAD is a totally different world of design requirements compared to video games or even MCAD software.

I use Unpoly (equivalent to HTMX for your question) + Alpine and they complement each other very well.

Unpoly handles everything that requires what in SPA world would be an "API call", the difference is that the response I get is just the HTML with the data already rendered and which is dynamically updated in the DOM. Also Modals and page transitions Turbolinks style are handled by Unpoly.

Alpine handles everything that doesn't require a server API call, such as form wizards steps, dropdowns, tables filtering, sidebars, buttons loading/disabled states, etc.

The end result, the application "feels" like Github.
Please dont add any icons any more colors. I love that text-based interface.
> Finally, most of the internet is powered from warehouses that are purposely built in areas with carbon-neutral electricity. The operators are actively optimising their consumption and investing in carbon-neutral energy generation that match their needs.

This is exactly the same case as with bitcoin miners.

Estimates I’ve seen put renewables as 40-66% of bitcoins energy mix, with this figure rising over time.

The incentive is towards cheaper renewable sources that would otherwise not be viable.
This "Not Just Bikes" video[1] recently on YouTube makes a similar case for generic concrete business parks in the USA and Canada compared to one in the Netherlands. That nobody with any choice wants to live or work there, that they are full of hostile in-between space and strictly segregated from housing and shopping by 6-lane roads, and inhuman feeling. Designed with car access as the priority and bus access as an afterthought and without pedestrian or cycle access at all, as if the only reasons to be 'outside' at all are driving or parking.

The Netherlands one in the video has dedicated roads for busses which get priority over cars at traffic lights, dedicated paths for bikes and pedestrians which get priority over busses and cars at traffic lights and are separate from the roads so people aren't walking right by vehicles, and a train station. It has narrow car lanes with both directions separated with an easier pedestrian crossing experience, floodwater management integrated as a nice looking canal feature rather than as a storm drain by a road; pretty building design and path design to make a more pleasant environment to walk in, and buildings having large and accessible entrances for pedestrians without forcing them to cross bits of mud or large expanses of car park.

I am thinking that when there are so many streaming services, maybe subscription is the wrong model? Maybe an on-demand plan like $0.50/hour (can also vary by content) would be better for customers?
Have you ever traveled long distance on amtrak? Their website claims there are trains between the stations you want but then a few clicks later tells you they are canceled for the day you chose to travel. Doesn't matter what day, it's canceled that day, sorry.

For example, try to get from the bay area to Chicago. Prices claim to start around 500 bucks for a non bed ticket for the 2.5 day trip. But it's actually not possible to get an itinerary that doesn't include traveling on a weekend.
In fact, the Nazis tried to not damage Paris too much because Hitler liked the architecture.

On the other hand, what would the world look like without democratic governments? Look at history, and you will notice that it is rarely better. Those who seek wealth and power aren't created by governments, nor will they magically disappear if governments disappear (or if their power is neutered). At least democracies have some checks and balances, even if they are nowhere near as effective as we need them to be.
They probably have better data on why they are losing subscribers than I do, and presumably they can see things like an IP address used by one subscription, then that subscription being cancelled, then the same IP address being used by a different subscription. But …

I have subscribed to Netflix for nearly twenty years, since it was a DVD delivery service, and I am very close to cancelling my subscription because they simply don't deliver good content. The presence of the red N in the corner of a video is a signal that the show or movie is probably garbage, and almost everything has that red N; the stuff that doesn't is typically middle- or lowbrow filler content.

Now, part of that is not Netflix's fault: there is a paucity of stuff worth watching in 2022 compared to decades past. There is no Parks & Rec, no Office, no Castle, no Monk, no Psych, no Bones, no light-hearted, innocent fun. At least, none that I have seen. For Pete's sake, we live in an era which managed to ruin Star Wars!

Still, their Netflix original content could be much better than it is; it is still for the most part bargain-basement stuff. Why subscribe to Netflix when I can read a book instead?
I'm not advocating crypto here, I'm just pointing out that saying crypto is bad because you can "just pass a law" is just as illogical as saying "internet blockchain money will give us freedom".

Yes, for example, pirate websites are often hiding their identity and if someone is infringing on your copyright you can't go and report it to their hosts because Cloudflare hides the IP. Reporting DMCA to Cloudflare won't give you the IP of their hosts.

A court ruling exempted Cloudflare from its users infringements of copyright making things easy for them.

You can happily disable the GC for performance-sensitive situations with one line of code:
GarbageCollector.GCMode = GarbageCollector.Mode.Disabled;
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Scripting.GarbageCo...

Then you can call GC.Collect() to garbage collect e.g. between levels.

LINQ is totally fine as long as you don't do it in e.g. Update() which is called every frame. There are lots of other things you start to learn over time such as .transform internally calls GetComponent<Transform>() which in itself isn't a problem but calling it in an Update() on e.g. VR where you have 72-144 frames per second might not be wise especially if you have 10x Update() methods doing this. That's why Unity has had the Profiler for many years - to pinpoint what is causing garbage to pile up and what methods are killing performance.
In that case you're as equally arguing against an argument I didn't make. I did not say that Ireland has no problems. I said that Ireland does not have problems related to the gendered implications of landlord, guys, or lads, due to these words having much less gendered implications in the Irish context. (and elsewhere in the thread, that the south eastern Ireland usage of "boy" does not have the racial implications that it does in certain contexts in the US).

Nowhere did I say that Ireland has no issues with inclusivity.

they won’t ever be voted out

South African voters have voted opposition parties into power in multiple municipalities. Trends indicate that the ANC is losing its grip, and one party dominance will be replaced ny coalitions in the next few election cycles.

The ANC banned cigs and booze. It was later found out that their members were making money hand-over-fist in the underground markets for cigs. Maybe booze too.

It sounds plausible that they were making money off illegal cigarettes: but do you have a source for that?

As for the booze ban, it was to keep hospital beds free for Covid patients: South Africans have a very unhealthy relationship with alcohol.

Fully agree on that. It's not always under our control (client's provide the task packages), but at least as a communication part we can raise awareness of such situation on the client's site.
That's a great approach, thanks! I like that it still has the benefit of giving them all the information asynchronously whenever they have a chance to read it, but also gives them an easy intro handle to understand the request and digest it appropriately. Will have to try this out next time.
True, if I keep my assets in EUR and only convert them to BTC as needed. I can’t really use BTC to store money, as it fluctuates too much.
