Definitely, but I think that's because of the lack of tradespeople and the barriers involved in building new houses. It's hard to build multi-unit-dwellings in cities now, so if you ever get an opportunity you're building a luxury megaplex to squeeze the max profit out of it. And sure you can look further out, but then you're looking at school district problems, lack of public transit, lack of amenities like grocery stores, restaurants, theaters, shops, culture centers.

I think a lot of this probably boils down to our insistence that cars be huge parts of our lives? It's really incompatible with the 15-minute city just because of the space requirements (parking at destinations, parking at homes, street width), and let's not forget maintenance costs and noise/pollution externalities. But I guess in the face of no public transit, what are we supposed to do?
Thankfully, you are wrong about that! Just like you don't need a cooler source _from which to source cold_ in the summer with AC. Technology Connections has a fun (well, to me) video on how heat pumps work and are great. Literally just AC units running in reverse, thanks to having a valve.

I.. have a problem with this line of reasoning. If the data is there, it will be used; maybe it will not be used now, but it will used and you have little control over how and when..

I thought the same, and my Smart Sony TV claims very low standby consumption, but when it is on the Wifi and sat there ready to Airplay too it consumes something close to 27W all night long.

I don't trust dentists. They push and push and push these extra treatments using guilt tactics and most of them are lies to empty your pocketbook. They are in no way like your doctor. Your doctor would never guilt you into a bypass surgery when you don't need it, but a dentist would.
Make their course completion contingent upon doing so? That’s a bit draconian of course, but you could also provide something positive to juice the deal instead. Incentives 101.
>I can’t count on doctors _at all_ to move the process forward.

This has been my experience as well dealing with fatigue. I was 25 when I finally got diagnosed with sleep apnea, after over a decade of symptoms. How something so common could go unnoticed by the adults and professional doctors in my life astonishes me still today.

Eventually, thanks to ego, I questioned the narrative that I was just normal and lazy. Without the internet, I might not have ever learned that sleep studies even exist.

I was more than half-asleep for all of my schooling, college, and early professional years. I've spent the last 5+ years trying to catch up.
It's all about numbers. There are just fewer women in general who play competitive online games. There are a variety of reasons why, but the most obvious one is that the online multiplayer scene isn't particularly welcoming to women. Granted, EVERYONE is flamed in online multiplayer games, but women are regularly subjected to graphic and violent sexual comments. On top of that, there could be higher societal expectations placed on women that discourage women from "no-lifing" a game compared to men.

Tons of women play video games these days, but online multiplayer games are still quite a bit of a boy's club. It seems like a similar situation with engineering schools/jobs: it's dominated by awkward men and remains so due to a negative feedback loop.
> Bitcoin has a four year halving cycle

This misses the whole picture which is about both supply and demand, and mining is only one side of the equation.

You do mention demand afterwards, but

> Bitcoin's network effects have already likely reached "runaway" status, so Bitcoin will continue to grow as the network effect speeds up exponentially.

is debatable to say the least. Is there any legal niche group that would use it for at least 50% of their transactions? News articles about the experiment in El Salvador seem to indicate that people still prefer to use cash (USD).

> The total addressable market of Bitcoin is all monetary value on earth, so in the hundreds of trillions, probably.

Not sure how this is relevant, in practice 99% of the world can use the USD one way or another, but that doesn't mean it'll ever reach this point.

> Its volatility will continue decreasing as it grows to address more of the T.A.M. of global monetary value.

Has it even begun? I haven't computed anything myself, but whenever I look for sources I end up with figures that contradict this claim, e.g.: https://www.buybitcoinworldwide.com/volatility-index/

If you look at the past 7 years, it doesn't look like it has gone down. I had seen tables with yearly volatility averages (or whatever the measure was) claiming the same. Do you have a better source than this?
Yes, there is a risk of complications with wisdom tooth removal. I was lucky twice, but when I had the lower ones removed, I got an infection blowing up the side of my face with a racketball-sized lump.

The oral surgeon had to prescribe anti-biotics and follow up with a "debridement", reopening the site, draining and flushing it. No fun at all. Also not something that's normally done at a dentist's office.

No way would I have done lower wisdom tooth removal without total-knockout anesthesia (Propofol). For me it's as much about the sensory input, sounds, and visuals of the hardware tools used. With the Propofol, it was a painless "30-minute time-travel" experience but I still felt exhausted for a couple days after the procedure. It's like my body knew what it went through even though I have no memory of it. Apparently this is a common feeling.

The upper wisdom teeth come out easier and heal faster. I had those out with just local anesthetic injections, nitrous oxide, tightly shut eyes, and headphones blasting music.
> As is so often the case, the people that say you should never do it probably have little relevant experience, they are just repeating something they heard.

More likely, they're saying that 99% of people don't know how to self-host, and for 99% of the rest it's not worth the trouble. Also, if you have to ask, then you shouldn't self-host it.
Plus, it makes updating an application way more difficult: you need:

- the distribution to recompile and test all binaries using a vulnerable dependency [x]

- users to download and update all affected binaries

compared to:

- the distribution patching a single package

- users updating that package

Imagine if OpenSSL was statically linked: even the smallest fix would require users to update half of the OS. And that would discourage both maintainer and users from doing regular updates.

[x] And this is assuming that thousands of automated rebuilds are possible. In reality many statically linked languages encourage locking the versions of build dependencies, making it impossible to do just one backport of a patch.

You can, and should, host your own email. The more people do this, the more companies like Google and Microsoft will be forced to accept email from small servers.

That being said, when you set it up, make sure you set up an SPF record. Also, check the IP Address to make sure it is not already blacklisted.

Cpanel makes it almost effortless to set up an email server, if you have just a little bit of tech know-how.
With the move to EVs (and perhaps even before, to some extent), cars seem to be changing, in the same way that 'computers' evolved/regressed from fairly open, upgradeable, repairable PCs to smartphones and tables with locked-down OSs, no upgrade options, and minimal repairability.

We've accepted a world of throwaway phones/tablets (with a life of maybe 2-5 years). We can't afford to accept that with EVs.

> If his ex-wife felt abused and manipulated, who are we to question her?

Well, the question would be whether she was abused and manipulated. The stuff in this article makes him out to be a shitty person, at least in those moments, and perhaps I wouldn't be too surprised if he were guilty of abuse, but it's strange that no one described anything worse than those anecdotes. His ex-wife certainly seems willing to spill any beans she has.

> I would say at the very least it's something that deserves more scrutiny.

More scrutiny, sure. An article saying "This guy is an abuser, because, well, he might be, who knows??" ... well, like I say, I admire the author's audacity.
Sorry. Yeah, my mother suffered her whole life with it and never new it. She was in a wheelchair for the last 10 years of her life with all kinds of issues. It was our kidney issues that tipped me off. That is the reason I went into the genetics, because she, and several other in my family have the same issues.

If anyone is interested, it seems it is partly (mostly?) caused by a Purine nucleoside phosphorylase deficiency. (PNP gene)

Let's assume we want: Where are that databases?

Making one like that (with a hybrid model like PAX) with other things I consider important to improve the situation (like algebraic type support, full relational, etc) are desirable, but FUNDING that is other thing. Make a database is major effort and is not easy to get the proper support for it.

Sad that Africa is going to effectively get exploited again by westerners. Let’s be honest those who got in early, that is, westerners, are those who win the most, not Africa.

They will learn, like the USA, why you don’t back your currency on things like gold, and coming soon, Bitcoin. This is a completely unnecessary move.

If the concerns are inflation they simply could write into their constitution that they cannot print additional money.
Better to have more affordable healthcare for all than high liability healthcare that only the rich can afford.

Oh, see, I moved out of the US to a place with socialized health care, so I don't have to worry about that. Turns out that you can do a lot of cost saving measures when you pool money together. In other words, it isn't consumer protection making the prices high, but rather it is being sold like a good. Consumer protection, if it were really strong in the US would protect you by making sure that you get what the label says is inside. In other words, keeps you from eating a product with eggs when you have an egg allergy.

That cost isn't so high, either. None of us are ever going to be knowledgeable enough to check everything and we know that things like "third party auditing" and "reputation" can really be gamed. And we know that it doesn't matter if your local hospital is bad if it is the only one in the area - and that sort of thing happens all the time. Regulation isn't perfect, but I would rather not live in an era without it.
Nobody is missing 50w any more because that goes on their BOM as a bigger power brick. I can see this stuff where someone missed an incandescent or hasn't replaced a device in 10 years but really stuff has moved on and cost optimisation is relentless.
I once asked the dentist why are there so many different toothbrush head shapes, with the bristles at all kind of angles and patterns, rubber inserts and so one. Surely by now we know what's the optimal shape?

And the answer was that yes, the optimal head shape is known, but since it's not that consequential this is not regulated as other medical stuff and basically everyone does weird shapes just for marketing and differentiation purposes (like colored specks in powder detergent which do nothing)

> tool to hide proceeds of low-tech plundering

Maybe, but since it's an open ledger wouldn't it be more likely to bring transparency to the country's operations?

If you pay taxes in bitcoin to the country, then you can track where that goes overtime unless the country exchanges it to another currency or moves it through a whirlpool or similar. Both operations of which have a cost.

I could see a website being setup to collect tax payment transactions such that tracking the government's expenditure would actually become quite simple. Obviously, the citizens of CAR may not be up to the task, but it's completely possible technically.
Having spent many years dealing with chiropractors... There are two types of issue they handle. The first is sharp pain due to some, likely traumatic, event like whiplash or trying to pick something up that is too heavy or a sports injury. They can often fix those issues with limited treatment and a few exercises.

Then there is chronic pain due to some issue like disk breakdown or another illness. They can do little to nothing with these illnesses but they will not admit that. They will bill your insurance for all they can and eventually when insurance will not cover it anymore they will try to get you to pay out of pocket or tell you to kick rocks.

I wish chiropractors would be upfront about this but I've never talked to one that is willing to. I have spoken to several who I know socially who have said this is more or less true in their clinic. At least the part about being able to help some but being useless with chronic pain.

Are they fully charlatans and frauds? No. But they do take advantage of people who they cant help and promise something they cant give.

I've tried to explain to our Devops guys that they need to automate their patching so that a new container is fully patched before deployment. They had no idea what I was talking about. I said, "you have containers that run for months, right? And they aren't modified at all after deployment, right? So how do you address new vulnerabilities? How often are you patching your base image?"

Just clueless looks.

Email just like all of the first generation internet protocols (like FTP) suffer from the same problem. It was born in an era where security and issues stemming from mass usage were non existent. As time went by some US companies made email almost a monopoly (Gmail) while other parties added layers of after though security (DMARC, SPF, etc) while at the same time advertisment (spam) also made the situation worse.

Hosting your own email is a problem because of these things, otherwise a fun exercise (that I gave up long time ago).

I recently had my Omega watch serviced, and it worked the same way - parts are X if you send them the old part in exchange, or Y if you want to keep the old part. I'm assuming they refurbrish the old parts and re-use them, seeing as 50-year old watches don't exactly have plenty of parts stock available.
What are those practices? Offline wallet? Buy&Hold? Diversify?
Shops could definitely do this, but as others have pointed out elsewhere Apple requires a serial number before they sell you the part as well as a deposit repaid when you return the replaced part.
Don't care, I wouldn't take my device to a third party anyways. Secondly after owning an iPhone for over a decade not once have I needed a repair.

The problem is that the government can compel ad targeting providers (and anyone in the advertising/marketing/data brokering industries) to reveal data about someone.

Those industries have essentially built a worldwide spying system that would make the NSA jealous without them even having to pay a dime and capitalism guarantees those systems will keep being maintained forever.

I view the container movement as a way of managing interactions. It’s really hard to manage dependencies in such a heterogenous systems. Containers simplify it all, at the cost of owning ones full dep tree. But with a good release process, one can keep on top of that and put less effort into the combinatorial growth when interacting with all the other dependencies other programs require.
> The fed has been pumping cheap money into the system since 2008 to prop up the values of the housing market and the stock market, which is where the majority of Americans have parked their wealth. Now the chickens have come home to roost

I doubt the Fed can follow through here to their mandate of keeping inflation under check. In response to a 8.5% inflation, they are raising rates by how much? 2%? Based on 10Y/2Y yields, the market seems to have priced in rates rise to 2-3% and then come back down either because of Fed starting back again QE or recession and subsequent QE. Either way a recession is impending and this time with Fed actively seeking the landing (soft or hard doesn’t matter, the economy is too much into debt to handle the shock) and with that goes their maximum unemployment mandate.

My thesis is after this episode of Fed Won’t have any validity to their existence. Inflation keeps chugging along, and with the rate raises they actively cause a recession. And those are the two mandates they have - price stability and unemployment.

There's an animated piece on Netflix called Midnight Gospel. In it, the ability to simulate universes is invented.

It would be interesting to see the gain curve of this speaker.

My (limited) experience with piezoelectric speakers is that they resonate at a single frequency very loudly, and are practically silent outside the resonant peak. Perfect for a microwave beeper, but never going to produce audible speech.

The "high-quality" descriptor makes it sound like they have produced a reasonably flat gain curve, which seems really significant! But without any explanation I'm skeptical.

It may even be as silly as using an unintuitive technical definition of "quality" - in a second order linear system, the "quality" of the gain curve is the ratio of the amplitude at the peak to the input amplitude... The exact opposite of what a reasonable person would consider high-quality sound.
