> That's way off the mark with regard to purchasing power vs money supply. Check your M2 chart.

Not sure what you're disagreeing with. Point is, if I can't predict reasonably well what I'll be able to buy in a few months with the currency I'm using, maybe what I'm using is not meant to be a currency.

> And your time frame on BTC is too short. Yes, it's trending up, and also becoming less volatile over time.

I'm sure I can find a time frame over which BTC is up. Not sure that helps much. It's "trending down" since August 2021. It's "trending up" over the last 10 years. What comes next is anyone's guess.

Regarding volatility, whenever I look at it, all the sources I can find point to some volatility being at least constant over the past few years (I linked a source in another comment which indicates sustained volatility over the last 7 years). I've seen 3 different ones so far. Do you have one that would indicate otherwise?

I could find one[0] but it's pretty bad, it starts with the yearly chart showing that the volatility is not declining, then shows a daily one over 7 days and shows a decline over this period.

I've been runnning mailcow[1] on a small Hetzner vserver for a bit more than 4 years with minimal downtime and maintenance.

I followed their guides for the most optimal setup, and so far i feel deliverability has been comparable to commercial offerings.

Can certainly recommend.

I believe the magic part is to find a VPS whose IP block isn’t spam-tainted. Avoiding the largest VPS hosting providers may conceivably help. But really I have no idea, and maybe one just has to try a few. I’m one of those people who have been self-hosting their own domain and email for roughly twenty years, adding stuff like DNSBL, graylisting, DKIM, DMARC and SPF as they became established. But very low-maintenance overall. I never had any perceptible problems with mail delivery. Some spam gets through DNSBL/spamassassin, but it’s on a very manageable level. I guess what I’m saying is you should give it a try. We need more people doing that.
It's unfortunate to see this downvoted because I've heard this sentiment echo'ed a lot and I think it's worth explaining.

It's not about the illegality, it's really just about people dying. Yes you can go on a strike but your patient that's in critical condition won't survive on principle. You could say "just don't care about the patient and strike anyway", but that's extremely hard to do.

Striking when it hurts some millionaire owner is one thing, you wouldn't feel bad about yourself. Striking when it hurts someone post-op who did nothing wrong aside from being sick isn't noble, you get to live with the fact that as an individual you could have saved them, yet you didn't because you wanted money.
Taking unpaid time off in startup?
How common or acceptable is it to take many weeks (or maybe even few months) of unpaid time off in a startup that is past the initial phase (3+ years)?

I work in enviroment that is not as stressful I think, whole team works remotely. Co-founders are reasonable with work-life balance. But still I find it hard to pursue much of anything else or even to keep all parts of my personal life in great order (as I would wish). I feel like its weird to even ask for it, like it's expected to work 100% and just take bit of vacation here and there, but why? Even from the company perspective, I might be able to regain some spark and make the paid time more worth it.

I think sometimes people do this between jobs, but in a job that is ongoing for many years. How do I make a space for that?

How do other people come to terms with this? And how do you spend the time off to properly "restart"?
> 1. Container creators and software creators are not the same people. So they can (and should!) have different goals and priorities. For containers, security and reliability. For software, make it work.

If the container system designers did their job properly it won't matter what the software does inside of it, as breakouts shouldn't be possible.

It has been a few years since I looked, but last time I checked there hasn't been a vulnerability in FreeBSD's jails code that allowed someone to break out. The closest to it was an issue with devfs that allowed 'tunnelling' out, but not with the actual Jails code itself:

Unclear. We just got solar panels and are auditing all the energy users now. There were some resistive heaters running we didn’t know about that pushed an extra 500kWh before. I think we got it down to about 1600 kWh. I think with all the he mods we are doing we can get it down below 1000 kWh but it will take time and more efficiency improving.
The hospitals themselves are also to blame. There are a couple court cases where the hospital threw the nurse under the bus to cover up for their own issues (short staffing, bad safety procedures, covering up for a doctor, etc), and nurses are justifiably pissed off right now.

There was a time when hospitals could have helped the nurses with the stress and workload, but the admins bungled it at every possible turn, and now it seems they missed their window.

They're paid a shit ton more. And because of that, more nurses are quitting to do the travel thing, which worsens the shortage and increases demand for travel nurses ;-) never seen an industry fuck itself over so bad. That's really the issue - healthcare has become an industry, not a profession.
Resistive electrical heating is typically the most expensive heating option available, at least here in Canada. A heat pump uses much less power to provide the same amount of heat, and fossil fuel heating (gas in the west, oil in the east) is often much less expensive than electric.
A bootcamp doesn't guarantee anything; without the right aptitude and temperament the tech industry is just as miserable, with a side of failure if you can't keep your jobs.

As someone who's written a handful of projects that have caught moderate use, I write code because it's fun, and I open source it under some GPL-family license because I believe that should be the default state of all software.

The marginal cost of software is basically zero, software that does exactly what you want is extremely valuable. So I'd need to be paid if someone had a feature request that I had no interest in completing, but that's my day job.
I think this could actually be a viable system for stopping spam if it was retrofitted onto the existing email system. Rather than each account putting up the bond, though, it should be done at the level of domain names, and (to encourage adoption) all existing mail-sending domains should be grandfathered in (allowing them to use a $0 bond instead).

The only question is how do you stop spammers walking away with their stake and creating another domain? There needs to be a way to slash someone's bond, which requires some sort of consensus. With DKIM signatures, it's fortunately possible to cryptographically prove that a given email was sent by a given domain, but ultimately you need to give potential censorship powers to some entity.

My suggestion for doing that is getting the ITU to vote on a set of maybe 7 organisations (e.g. mail providers, universities, non-profits) who share spam reports with each other and can slash a bond if at least 5 of them agree. Of course individual mail providers would be able to override these decisions and continue to accept emails from the blacklisted domains (and they could obviously continue to use other forms of spam filtering), but ideally the bond slashing mechanism would only end up being used once as spammers tested it and then gave up.
It DOES work in this scenario.
Exactly, everyone got burned by TikTok (assuming it would die like Vine did) and so now anything that appears to be the "next TikTok" causes a flurry of activity.
> I think this is looking at the problem wrong. The problem is that implementing positive change in these systems is impossible for reasons far outside the control of any product designer or developer currently on the team.

A developer working on something is different from a product designer. For product designer I don't mean a UI/UX developer. I mean someone empowered to design the thing. This is often a leader or product manager.

Product design isn't something taught well in most schools. It's often out of sight and mind. An engineer who was good at building hardware or writing code didn't learn the skills needed for product design through that. Product design requires looking at the whole system differently.

> It probably takes 3 months to move a button around, and instead of moving that button executives are having them push a feature that earns a few more million, or a feature that the customers want more then a UX improvement.

A better UX would reduce the amount of time nurses spend using these systems. That productivity could be used to do more other work (like taking on more patients). I don't like this argument but it's easy to make in terms of cost effectiveness.

I don't think the cost effective conversations are happening. I expect there isn't that level of depth to these. It's hard to do when a purchasing organization (like a hospital) only have a few options and they are all bad.

This is an opportunity. To build software that is both compliant and has a good UX. There's an opportunity to disrupt all the crap software here.

Could you please elaborate on the "..., and have a fake first MX record" ?
It’s like that in many countries, also in EU. Average age of a nurse is rising, richer countries rescue themselves by importing workforce, because they can’t find workers for the rates they have budgeted at home.

It’s is like that in other professions too if it’s only the tech that gets compensated well. There is a shortage of skilled labour.
I have a Sony to, standby is around 1W unless I enable some features like Airplay, then it jumps to 20W. Enabling the feature will show a warning in the UI that "this might increase power consumption". I think this is how they get away with this. They show this warning with a lot of settings. Also a lot of TV's have an energy saver picture profile which is horrible to look at for movies, but it's included to pass the rating I guess.
Thanks for trying it out! I’ll look into it and post back asap.

Wikipedia[1] has a fuller set of definitions:

* An investor or speculator who is very bullish in buying the commodity gold, or similarly themed financial products such as junior mining companies, gold certificates, bullion ETFs, and other derivative instruments related to precious metals.

* A person who opposes or criticizes the use of fiat currency and supports a return to the use of the gold standard or some other currency system based on the value of gold and other hard assets.

* Someone who considers one commodity, usually gold, "the appropriate measure of wealth, regardless of the quantity of other goods and services that it can buy".

* A person, often with views summarized above, that subscribes to conspiracy theories relating to gold and silver, frequently including but not limited to, alleged manipulation of the price of precious metals and the supposed disappearance of gold held by the United States Government at Fort Knox. The Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee (GATA) is a small but prominent promoter of such conspiracy theories within the gold bug community. However, such persons are widely dismissed as cranks and their beliefs as fringe by reputable economists, business leaders and government officials.

Isn't a big part of Arrival that the aliens don't experience time the same way we do? Or something along those lines. When something that fundamental is different, that has to become a major hurdle in communication.

Whereas the aliens in Project Hail Mary are still fundamentally similar organisms. And you just have to come up with a common baseline to understand each other. Humans have been able to learn to translate between different languages for a long time now. It seemed no different than that to me. Especially when you add in machine assistance.

I would actually be quite curious though. If you put two people in a room, and each one only speaks one distinct language, and their only goal is to communicate with each other. How long before they can effectively communicate? Now it wouldn't be a perfect comparison because there is likely shared body language. It would still be interesting.
I’m in the same boat. Electric baseboard heaters are what’re killing us.

To the 500W figure mentioned above, I plugged our little space heater into a kill-a-watt meter and it measured it at 500W/day.

Resistive electric heating is brutally expensive. I’m looking into heat pumps before next winter.

It doesn't help that hospital systems tend to be garbage at customer service, so the person's been told to wait an indefinite (but always very long) period without any indication of how long it'll be, and asked to tediously fill out the same information five different times on five different pieces of paper and iPads, all while feeling terrible, before they finally snap at a poor nurse who isn't to blame for their hospital being an uncaring money-making machine with little regard for humanity.

>But we've got bigger worries with degraded batteries leading to e-waste, with Chevrolet discontinuing support for a 5yr-old EV (Chevy Spark) setting an example that others seem likely to follow.

The Spark is one EV from one manufacturer, introduced ten years ago, and it sold a few thousand units over a couple years. Chevy sells more Bolts in two months than the entire several year long Spark production.

The reason they're no longer selling battery packs is because there was insufficient demand for them. The car sold like shit. It is not "an example others seem likely to follow" like you claim.

Chevy included, given they're warrantying failed Bolt EV batteries and giving them 8 year warranties. Five year old bolts are getting eight-year-warrantied batteries. Weird you didn't cite that.

People have been bleating about "battery-pocalypse" - batteries clogging landfills, failing batteries "totaling" cars, blah blah - since the Prius came out twenty years ago. Still hasn't happened. If you have a Prius and the battery pack throws an error code, there are plenty of businesses offering rebuild services, looks like it's about $1k. They recycle whatever cells are still good, and bad cells are sent out to be recycled for their raw materials.

You either intentionally zeroed in on extreme outside case to push your anti-EV agenda, or you don't know much about hybrids/PHEVs/EVs and you're outside your lane while pushing an anti-EV agenda.

Which is it?
You can host your own email.

I have been hosting my own for at least 15 years now, and I don't have big issues - I can deliver email to MS, gmail, et al.

Pick a decent hosting provider (not the cheapest options around!), make sure you have matching reverse DNS, forward DNS and HELO name (exactly the same is best!) on both v4 and v6 (if you have v6), disable IPv6 privacy addressing for your mail server (again, if you have v6), make sure you set up SPF, DKIM and DMARC, and keep your server secured.

By following these rules, in 15 years I have had only had deliverability issues with AT&T and Deutsche Telekom - both of which were fairly easily resolved.

In terms of software, you can use one of the out-of-the-box email server packages, but I personally run postfix, dovecot and rspamd on a debian stable VM. Stick to the versions from the repos and you'll have very few problems upgrading it in future, too - my current mailserver VM started on Debian Squeeze or Lenny around 2010, and is currently on bullseye (the latest stable).
Pardon me for being pithy. We've all heard the adage about perfect security being a logical impossibility. I will say instead that if a tool doesn't have security proportionate to its risk factor integrated in its design, it doesn't work.
I used GWT at one company for a bit.

> Was there some evidence that moved your priors about Bayesian reasoning from near 0 to close to 1?

I think you misinterpreted what I said. My belief in Bayesian reasoning was very nearly 1 from the first time I encountered Bayes's theorem. Nothing I've seen since has changed this, i.e. nothing about Bayes's theorem has surprised me.

The last time I can remember being surprised (in a Bayesian sense) about anything was when Donald Trump won the 2016 election. My prior on his winning was very close to zero when he announced his candidacy (and frankly I think his was too), and obviously my posterior after the election was very close to 1. (Contrast this with the reasoning currently being deployed by proponents of the Big Lie.) That event really rocked my world, but I can't think of anything that has surprised me in the same way since then.

> How would you assign a probability to Many Worlds Interpretation?

The same way you assign a probability to any proposition: you look at the evidence and decide whether the MWI is a good explanation that accounts for all the evidence. I did a very deep dive into this exact question about three years ago:

https://blog.rongarret.info/2019/07/the-trouble-with-many-wo...

> Can you assign a Bayesian probability to that?

It depends on what you mean by "that". You can assign a Bayesian probability to any proposition, but you have to be careful because not all statements are propositions. For example: "Penguins are beautiful" is not a proposition. It makes no sense to say that it is "true" or "false" because it is ambiguous (do you mean all penguins or just some penguins?) and it involves a value judgement.

The MWI is particularly thorny because it is really easy to hide ambiguity and value judgements in seemingly innocuous language. For example, you will often hear proponents of the MWI say something like, "The universe splits every time a quantum measurement is made." But that is ambiguous because it doesn't tell you what a quantum measurement is. It also has a tacit "value judgement" hidden in the phrase "the universe". The whole point of the MWI is that there is not one universe, there are unfathomably many of them. So which universe is "the" universe? Well, to me, "the" universe is the universe that "I" live in. But what does the word "I" mean in the context of the MWI? Because according to the MWI, every time the universe splits, I split along with it and become multiple me's in multiple universes. So which "me" is the real me?

The MWI is very strongly analogous to the beauty of penguins.

re: "Medical decisions need to be made outside of cost considerations."

In the end, labor hours of professionals are finite. Even if you don't need to pay doctors, you only have so many, they can only work so many hours, you will need to prioritize who to help in what way, which procedures to do. Same with all the other personnel, the consumable stuff, the devices/scanners/equipment, etc. So someone is going to have to prioritize. It can be just "how much quality of life can we save using the resources we have", regardless of the patient's ability to pay/insurance/citizenship, but some prioritization will need to happen. The policy of the death panels can be changed, but their existence is inevitable.
IIRC, that's exactly what this is. This program is targeted at "self service" repair, i.e. you fixing your own phone. Apple wants to make it hard/impossible for third party/independent repair shops to offer that service. This does nothing for them: the prices mean that these shops will not be able to make a profit if they try to undercut Apple's own $329 out-of-warranty flat price for screen repair.

So when right to repair criticism is lobbed at Apple, they can now point at this website.
