As I said, ignore the naysayers. Tell me, in what way is having (say) a Raspberry Pi running (e.g.) Debian on which you're free to install whatever you want - including something like Dokku or CapRover if you want to do the PaaS thing - an 'absurd' proposition? It sounds like a good suggestion to a question of this nature asked on a site called Hacker News.

I will never understand this fear of self-hosting. To me it is absurd to insist on using third-party services when it is so incredibly easy to setup and maintain your own.
I had eerily similar experiences from an older DBA guy, who was going through college in his 40's while working away. He knew his stuff, helped a lot optimizing the ETL process, but could turn nasty in an instant, and had a major chip on his shoulder about younger analysts with college degrees.

Only thing, was this guy had zero programming experience outside SQL and Bash. Anytime he had a question in a meeting about some calling Java process, he used to wait until the meeting was finished and then grab five minutes with me privately to ask about whatever. So there was this perceived weakness that his professional persona "knew everything", which meant he couldn't ask fundamental questions or try to (publicly) learn things outside his domain.

In the end, we moved to Amazon Redshift, and he was progressively moved into a smaller and smaller role, where now he just curates 2-year old JIRA tickets. Probably knows he can't get a similarly well-paying gig elsewhere now.

This is pretty neat, what is the license on it? Aka, can I modify and use it for my personal website?
Well exactly. Same goes for cellphones, with a slightly better probability.
FWIW, Monsanto isn't as much of a household name in my country (I don't think), so I'd heard of Matasano before I heard of Monsanto. And i'll probably be mixing the two up for the rest of my life :)
Up here in Alaska I take 10,000 IU a day of Vitamin D. Doctors up here (at least the good ones) push it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unitarianism

>Unitarians generally reject the doctrine of original sin.

I agree that basically that if you do a random sampling of Christians the odds are likely somewhat greater than 99% while still less than 100% that anyone you pick will believe that Jesus saved humanity from sin and salvation is related to accepting his teachings.

Some will also say salvation is accepting his teachings and divinity, and some will say salvation is accepting his teachings and divinity and doing good works as well.

But not everyone will believe in original sin, and as such they may believe that you can be very good and still be saved without accepting Jesus.

This of course answers several common complaints against many Christian faiths that a good person who lived all their life following Jesus' code of conduct without knowing who Jesus was would not be able to be saved.

I don't have any particular side of this fight, as I am an Athiest, although relatively well read in theology (at least when younger)

On edit: also note that there were probably sects of Christianity that were deemed heretical in former times and wiped out that differed on this part as well, it is my understanding that the Adamites https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adamites did not have a doctrine of original sin and Jesus' death being necessary for salvation.

I'd say we get more out of meat, having delicious stuff to eat is awesome.
I have a short domain name, but only as a personal URL shortener! Mine is https://m8.fyi
>Our overconsumption of meat is idiotic, yes.

And tasty.
> "Cyberspace ... has actually become a common word used by all of us."

No, no it has not. Various corporate and government flacks, and tone-deaf reporters, have been trying for decades to make it a word we use. But we do not. I have never said it out loud.

And there is no reason to expect we ever will.
About FancyZones, the nice thing about it is that you can define the zones where Windows will snap the windows to using the WIN+[arrow key] short cut. I'm especially loving this app when using it on my 4K monitor, as this is where the zones really come in handy. I'm pretty much only using FancyZones.
Just want to second this. My wife is Colombian and I lived in Bogotá for a year and go regularly. I've travelled quite a bit of the country by bus -- absolutely recommend doing this! One reason is the variety of landscapes you can see in a single journey.

I agree that crossing the mountains between Bogotá and Pereira is an incredible route. Very long, but if you go and have the time, it's in itself part of the holiday!
As promised, here is the repo: https://github.com/hanneslinder/esp-pixel-matrix
The core problem is that we have huge bulks of metal driving at high speed through out cities, with drivers that are unable to observe their surroundings, and even when they do take too much time to come to a safe stop.

You are right about solving infrastructure: cities should be people-centric, not car-centric. Ban motorized traffic wherever people need to live. Invest in public transport, sharing services, walkability.
It's the other way around. The miners can't do anything to prevent the switch since most major Ethereum users (aka Infrastructure providers) are clearly in favour and are already participating in the POS chain (which is currently running in parallel and without transactions).

When they update they miners are simply cut off.

Furthermore, Ethereum contains a self destruct mechanism that requires a hard fork. Unless miners can coordinate a competing POW fork (and convince rich people that the bad PR and profits for them are worth it) they won't be able to do anything.
The one system is providing sustenance for billions of people, the other is used by tens of thousands of people. As is always forgotten to mention when this argument is made.

But this is an even worse argument than usual - the people speculating with crypto constructs are very often also part of the groups who consume a whole lot of meat...
As for a full-on remake: that's ‘Zero Theorem’. I can only guess that Gilliam lost hope in the subtler approach, and wanted to have at least something new that would get out of ‘Brazil’'s shadow. Which didn't work at all.

Perhaps Tom Stoppard is the missing ingredient.
Mindfulness the same as wealth, beauty or general success can also be a tool to elevate yourself above others. Especially if your self-perception is that you are very mindful or very empathetic you might easily deduce that you do better than others and have to right their wrongs.

There is no golden rule and there are obvious exceptions, but if your empathy comes with a lot of animosity, you probably just deceived yourself.

Funny. My former psychiatrist recommended mindfulness to all his patients.

Always thought it was faddish.
If I owned a health insurance company I'd be subsiding rents for people to move to apartments with better sunlight. It would very directly save money.

I'd also cut premiums and copays for people who exercise regularly and track it.

Maybe even give free national park passes and gym memberships to patients.

All this stuff costs pennies compared to the cost of the various treatments that people are needing these days.
> most people can't be arsed to sue

Now let us review why a "society" should make sense, and if some agents become a collective affront to natural rights the action should be collective.

In this case (and more), the apparent agent is the municipality - which shows the perversion of these days.
Oh for the love of Christ. Unless you go fully Jainist, and eat only what you grow, after painstakingly removing insect pests and placing them elsewhere gently, nothing you eat is pain/suffering free.

Modern agricultural harvesting and processing always has a bykill of small mammals and ground nesting birds.

Organic farming often uses companion planting to attract natural predators of insect pests, so that insecticides don't need to be used (as much anyway, there's plenty of rather toxic compounds that are perfectly natural and organic yet kill things well, like derris dust).

How, though, do you distinguish between the suffering of cows, and the suffering of a dormouse, or the suffering of caterpillars that are being eaten from inside by the larvae of a parasitic wasp?

Are you basing your morality on "there's an arbitrary level of suffering I'll accept" or "I'm only opposed to the suffering of life that has at least N neurons?"

Or are you sweeping the path as you walk lest an ant be harmed?
This was great. Before Powder Game, there were several games in this genre, and a very active Falling Sand Game BBS forum. I got my start in programming by writing mods for one of those games, Burning Sand. I wonder if anyone from those forums is around here...
Large trucks driving through city centers and killing pedestrians who moving around the neighborhoods they live and work in and the pedestrians are "rogue road users"?
I think it's more of an American culture thing. I was living in Austria with this co-living community. The lady hosting me had 3 kids, ages 3-10. Because I grew up in the US I actively avoided interacting with them, which the host found weird, as she was probably hoping I would at least teach the kids something.

One time I stumbled upon a playground in Seoul, looking for a place to do some calisthenics. It was completely empty. I made an Instagram story captioned 'found a gym.' Two friends immediately joked 'be careful, don't get arrested.'

Then again I do think there's gotta to be some sort of underlying tension between a straight man and a female of childbearing age, no matter how platonic the relationship. In the US we automatically assume pederasty or grooming.
Millions of years of evolution proved that it's a good way for different animals. It's only recently that Big Carb tries to paint our ancestors as unhealthy goons. Granted that was tongue in cheek but we can see how easy it is to push experimental food on the market with margarine, spam, and other crap.
In the context that this article is discussing bikes are legal and entitled to use the road. Labelling those people as "rogue" is disingenuous.

Even if they weren't legal under current laws, dedicating the majority of public space to a specific mode of transport has been show to lead to pretty sad results: clogged roads and crowded footpaths.

Why should it be that when I switch from driving mode to walking mode, I lose the right to access that public space?

> I agree that they don't need decentralization, but I'm wondering if the proposed protocols are the superior choice regardless, because of their effectiveness and ready for production-ness. The control over the smart contracts themselves may still be centralized while the platform they operate on are not.

With a sidechain, it's possible to run LN directly on top of it. The BOLT specs are not tied to the bitcoin chain and you can run a multi-chain lightning implementation. It should also be possible to perform atomic swaps between a main-chain lightning and a side-chain lightning too, which would cut fees.

> Is there a reason why the electronic money in this case couldn't be CBDCs?

The CBDC gives the ruling party too much power over citizens. It could, for instance, cut off your ability to spend your money if you don't vote for them. Banana republics are not just things of old - they're becoming the norm again.

The ability of citizens to peacefully protest, potentially by withholding their money from government, is essential to the long-term viability of a democracy. A government which has full control over its citizens finances will not remain a democratic one for long.
If it's not misleading, then it wouldn't be impacting "impressionable kids". They're misled to believe that there won't be a negative consequence.
And the companies renting them out as a business claims it's a green movement while they are replacing the whole fleet every two months because they break down.
I use "Organic" pesticides in vineyard and I'm not using it more. I use even less. The thing with "organic" farming is not only that you just spray and it's done. You need to do also other work to manage the healthy environment in your plot. Most people around who use conventional pesticides have neglected vineyards. They are only pruning in spring then tile rows in between, spray and thats it. They do not care about lateral shoots etc. Some even use herbicides - which is completely unnecessary especially in this age of mechanization (there are even electrical hoes for small scale farming).
We have to think of what kind of city we want to live in, and then work back from there.

Personally, I want to live in a city where a 6 year old can walk or bike to school, safely, on their own.

One thing that strikes me from this article is a vast bureaucracy, regulation, credentialing structures, accounting, etc. that the story revolves around.

In Sweden, where I live, there are plenty of educational opportunities available to people completely free of charge. Entirely subsidized by the government. Instead of assembling elaborate bureaucratic structures, the state spends its money paying school admin and teachers.

While these are not universities per se, the opportunities they open up to students are top notch. You don't need an entire college education to "set graduates on a path towards breaking the cycle of poverty", which according to the article is what work colleges aspire to achieve.

This vocational education is also much more economically efficient than universities in the same country, mainly due to losing the weight of bureaucracy and credentialing structures. Teachers are well-paid, ops run smoothly with few personnel, and students get access to many new job opportunities completely free of charge.

Slight tangent:

Remember to breathe properly and/or deeper, or incorporate breathing exercises/meditation as part of (water) fasting. The majority of the metabolized fats gets exhaled via your mouth (and tiny amount in sweats/urine) - you do not poop it out. Breathing is very important and often ignored in weight loss. Obviously if you exercise you automatically breathe more, but you might still be taking in swallow breaths. Become aware of your inhale/exhale cycles and focus on releasing the extra store energy on each exhale.
A poor exemple doesn't make for a poor argument.
I like hierarchical URLs because they allow me to try and find more content by stripping the end of the URL fo see what is up the hierarchy.
You can do that without a blockchain. Have all those orgs publish their accounts in a form that allows for anyone to make copies and to audit that the published versions don't get modified over time.
>Only those that I have immediate experience with do I trust to have the intention of being unbiased.

sure, but as you said earlier you have no knowledge of this organization prior to this post. There seems to be two types of people in this post, those who know exactly who Cochrane is and who think knee-jerk accusations of bias are ridiculous and those who don't know who Cochrane is.

I'm betting the people who don't know who Cochrane is are not people who need to have lots of access to high quality health research, in other words not experts in any field where one should be expected to know who Cochrane was.

If a lawyer came out and told you that the latest ACM study on efficiency of parallel computation was part of a conspiracy by Apple how much weight would you place on their opinion?
Oh nice whole screen cookie banner you have there. I am sure nothing personal..
Yeah, nah. I won't miss Pizza Hut, or their disgusting salad bar with flies crawling on it, their sweet-sweet marinara pizza sauce, or their high prices. In fact, since being an adult, I don't even eat pizza unless it's at a social function where refusing would be rude. Really, the 90's sucked just as bad as everything since, maybe even more. At least the 2000's have been pretty straightforwardly shitty, even the faux-righteousness of the government is dressed up in clearly Orwellian language rather than the old-style hypocrisy which expected you to actually buy it.

Whatever happened to that Taco Bell dog, though?
Amiga, Atari ST and Mac OS pre-OS X were similar in that tools don't have to be text-first to cater to power users.
Many of the pedestrians and cyclists killed are following traffic laws. Truck drivers simply kill them when they turn right while overtaking.

Also, as I said in another comment, traffic laws are not constitutional, they can and should be adapted.
I agree. Also, images that are meant to be included in your articles can still have long urls if you want. Unless those images are urls you want to share, of course; it's about sharing urls, and that's much easier to do when they're short.

If you've got a CMS, I suppose you could do both: store each article in its hierarchical place, but also give each article (or each article you consider important enough to share, but I would hope that's all of them) a short name through which it can easily be remembered and shared.
Yeah, I'm wondering how The Powder Toy does it (especially since it also has electronics/wires and changeable gravity)...

The international community? Why should "the international community" meddle in the affairs of the Colombian government?

Those forests belong to the Colombian people, and they indirectly decide what happens to them through the electoral system.
Consulting across 12 companies in the software development and delivery over the past 10 years - I haven't worked with - or even come across a single DBA in that time.

There are people working in data analytics / warehousing / "big data" but I don't think that's the same as a traditional DBA role where you're smashing out SQL.

I suspect DBAs are still around in older enterprises or maybe large companies with very complex databases - but I don't think you'd see many in modern software development.
Forget the truck, not referring to the truck, but what if these changes are made to cars? So, now to accommodate these road users, your car will be made of tin can instead of thicker Aluminium sheets. As a biker, that is good news to you, but as someone who paid $x0,000 for my car I wouldn't be happy obviously.

Bikers drive like trash in most countries, why should car users take the hit for that?
It absolutely had entered English vocabulary, if only so far as to refer to Japanese people we were told were obliged to drink at karaoke bars with co-workers every evening.

Probably most Americans' awareness of Japanese words came from a very long James Clavell historical novel amazingly many people read, as was still done back then, called Shōgun.

I recall a very bad movie in which a black gang leader insisted on being called Shōgun, for no apparent reason.
Very interesting, thank you!

From your second link (digital currency fed boston):

The researchers also note that the faster system, the one processing 1.7 million transactions per second, the transaction quantity “appears to scale linearly with the addition of more servers,” which would sustain an even larger volume of activity.

To my understanding, the lightning network scales exponentially with the number of participants (servers) because of its edge-contracting capabilities, so I wonder if it is something they took into consideration. Granted, the lightning network transaction protocol is not the same as Taro/RGB, but I imagine it would scale similarly.
I guess there are a few stressful things that might trigger this behavior:

- DBAs have the most important thing under their management: data

- Any fault they make can result in downtime, data loss, data corruption, etc.

- They typically have to deal with the same (basic) stuff from developers

- I haven't seen any DBA get involved in the data modeling.

- Work on production is usually when the shit hit the fan

- Work on production can be slow (live, large datasets), which makes things more stressful
That's for the USA. The USA seems to have suffered much more than many other countries, for reasons that real epidemiologists would be keen to investigate but the ones we're stuck with are remarkably incurious about. It's not to do with their own measures (Sweden has had lower than average mortality impact from COVID), so is more likely related to lifestyles, racial makeups, or something else that isn't understood.
