There is no "crypto crash."

There is "everything crash."

Crypto, stocks, baby formula, war.

The world has turned into an insane clown world.

There are evil people out there, and they fuel the flames.

Instead of building, they steal, instead of creating, they destroy.

They are driven by a belief in scarcity--that for them to have, others must not.

The people who cheer at this mayhem are fools who think they missed out. They can't stand other people making money. Because they can't stand artists making money. Because they can't stand women making money. Because they can't stand people from "foreign countries" making money.

They'd rather see the world burn or go back to the dark times.

This is foolish and small-minded.

In crypto, there is a floor. It is ZERO. It is "no crypto."

What crypto doesn't have is the ceiling.

There is no ceiling.

It is not a zero-sum game.

WHEN YOU BUILD, MERIT ACCUMULATES. THERE IS NO LIMIT TO THE AMOUNT OF MERIT ONE CAN ACQUIRE.

The benefits should flow to everyone and not some at the cost of the others.
No transparent pricing? Everything is "contact sales"?

Publish a range at least.
You mean deprecated. It also only applies to the creation of new parameters, not to existing ones.
Ah. Still never heard of it before. Seems like an NZ based company, so that would be why.
Interesting perspective, and I'm sure I've never heard someone talk about their success with therapy because it isn't a topic that's likely to come up.

No, I've never needed therapy. I self examine on a regular basis. I have generally followed a stoic philosophy of life, which means regularly working on my physical and mental wellness. I've steered clear of unhealthy addictions and other problem generators. Therapy is just one tool in a large toolbox of mental health.
I wish I had another home town to move back to.

Is it possible you only see it this way because your home town is a desirable place to live? If you had a home town nobody wanted to move to- would you want to move back there either?
Thank you! This is it. There isn't a lot of information online about this game (not even a Wikipedia article – though there is one for another 1992 game called "Maelstrom" that is unrelated). However, someone created an old-school fan website as a labor of love: http://www.overlordofharmony.com

I wonder how feasible it is to play an old DOS game like this on a modern Mac...
If I told you Russia invaded Ukraine to "make Biden look bad" would you be as equally accommodating to the facts? If not, it's probably indicative of a personal bias.
The purity of that argument is appealing, but the reality is that the underlying neighborhoods themselves are, literally, gerrymandered into these weird shapes, and trying to decouple districting policy from those early-20th century decisions essentially ratifies the injustice. "This district looks stupid" is not a good enough reason to eliminate Latino representation from Chicago, which (I think?) has more Latino residents than Phoenix and Dallas put together.

Drastically increasing the number of representatives sounds like a good solution.
(Note, I have a 100% breast fed six month old right now).

I agree with everything you said. The inability to breastfeed, the very poor time off.

However, the majority of US women have the ability to breastfeed more. Some an extra month, others can supplement less.

Being unable to produce any milk is fairly rare (but real! Wy wife breastfeeds another woman's kid). Anyway women will have to; the only baby food "factory" that can scale in the short term in the quantities needed are breasts!
DNS over HTTPS uses TCP-based http/2, which is less efficient than UDP-based QUIC (aka http/3).
There is no paradox. Ideas have power, and ideas are spread through speech. However, speech does not provide the ground in which ideas grow - environment and society does that. Prohibiting speech cannot prevent the manifestation of ideas, and cannot even really prevent their spread, but is instead an indicator of broader conditions being unfavorable to those ideas. Popular ideas cannot be effectively repressed, only unpopular ones.
I did - thank you for your recommendation! This will now forever be a part of my life! :)
I fully admit I could be wrong, and I didn't explain myself adequately re: ETM. ETM has been enabled since Vista, but you can get a full list of all ETS logs very easily (via `logman query -ets`). The question is what's consuming it, and as far as I can tell the basic telemetry settings won't send anything remotely beyond some incredibly basic information.

This issue seems to fully explain the issue with the telemetry: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/5331

The biggest takeaway to me here (besides the explanation of the telemetry levels) is that the processes in question are cmd, powershell, bash, etc, and not what you are running in them. Even if you have enhanced telemetry enabled it wouldn't bubble up what you're running underneath the console process as a process name.

There's been a practical solution to this problem for years - standard round lenses. Spectacles have three parameters - spherical radius, cylindrical radius, and axis. For round lenses, axis is set by mounting in the frame. There's a notching tool which notches the lens so it's retained in the frame at a fixed angle. So you only need a set of a few hundred standard plastic lenses, which fits in a small suitcase.

This was developed in India decades ago, but I can't find those kits online. Obsolete?
> Why aren't there new destinations in the same way

A few possible reasons that spring to mind are population growth, high quality information quickly traveling around the world rapidly removing arbitrage opportunities, automation and outsourcing obviating certain businesses in certain areas, technology and automation allowing economies of scale such that big only get bigger and suck the air out of the room for small players.
The question I've answered was about motivation, not blame.

The analogy you bring up isn't fitting, because unlike mountains, companies are run by people who consciously set up the incentives, assemble teams, set goals, receive feedback and can react to it. If a Mount Everest Travel Agency Ltd. advertised awesome climbs, got feedback from a participant that they're struggling and need a guide, and the company said "you won't get one, keep going!" then yes, I'd blame them for the injuries.
Gold and Bitcoin are clearly separated recently. Gold was up and down some itself but right now is flat over the last year, Bitcoin down 40%+.

More long-term, https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S22146... - "near zero" between BTC and Gold.

Encrypting against whose keys? The website you are visiting? The malicious VPN company?

The entire point of user-added root CAs is that they can place themselves between you and whoever you're communicating with and intercept/modify it all. And you're unlikely to be warned about it at all.
I would describe stripe docs as 'acceptable'. Don't get me wrong, I personally have brought them tons of business and work with their API more than a human should. My only issue is that if you are working with their API, you will discover HUGE gaps if you step outside "the norms". That being said, they are a step above everyone else, which should tell you something. Also, the comment regarding open-source applies 300%.
Until now attempts to remove the GIL have come at the cost of reduced single threaded performance.

This is the first suggestion that doesn’t degrade single threaded performance.
Can you explain why you think that, exactly? I've read tons about this stuff and have definitely not come to the same conclusion.
Well, I might prefer a gofundme for some devs to do it. That way us average Joe’s can pitch into the support.

Otherwise, there’s making a fork and attempting periodic updates from python. That’d be a huge undertaking though.

FTA: “””
A lot of the value of Python is the ecosystem, not just the language… CPython really leads the way in terms of the community moving as a block.

"Removing the GIL is a really transformative step. Most Python programs just don’t use threads at the moment if they want to run on multiple cores. If nogil is to be a success, the community as a whole has to buy into it."

– Sam Gross”””
> This may seem like an amateur-level programming mistake, but in reality, it's much easier to write straightforward code for each target than writing unified one that covers all the details and corner cases of all supported targets simultaneously.

This is one of the reasons sum types are so critical in my opinion. They let you write code in that style, where OOP forces you to make everything look kinda the same.
See the link below. It includes a stack based scripting language (essentially a subset of Forth) for processing transactions so you can do some customization in how transactions unfold. As I understand it (and I don't know much about Ethereum) a big difference is that Eth has a Turing complete scripting language that can run code as part of transaction, while bitcoin only has a subset that doesn't include e.g. looping.

The problem with Wordpress isn't the ease of use, its the constant maintenance required. If you are a local restaurant, you don't need an extremely powerful and flexible framework. You need something that is always online, doesn't get hacked, doesn't have its certificates expire, doesn't run out of disk space because of a log file, doesn't get stuck on a 5 year old debian, etc.

If you have to pay a little more to have someone fiddle with squarespace for twice as long as they would wordpress, that's ok because its now set and forget.

Wuhan fish market is just where the first case was reported, WHO is still investigating how it actually developed.
I should be clear
(as both someone who experienced this and as someone who has been involved in MS/Ph.D admissions):

Brown University admitted me as a "special student" and allowed me to take master's courses as long as I paid the $6k fee per course (in 2013), but when asked about pursuing an actual master's or Ph.D. level degree, I was told, rather disrespectfully, that there was absolutely no chance since I didn't have a computer science degree from a major university. Therefore, I had to independently seek out my own research opportunities to build a resume that would allow me to be admitted to an actual CV institution.

Therefore, I would say that if your goal is research focus on the more traditional path.
even if all the sources were green, and they're not, the energy is being poured into the atmosphere as heat, which is still pollution.
Normalisation of deviation.

When a person first gets their licence they may google the content you describe. Then they drive to work and home - down the freeway - every day for years.

They quickly learn that leaving too much space in front means people keep jamming in front of them. And the vehicle in front is the one you react most to - when it slows down or speeds up a little. So they pay attention to the car in front rather than down the road. Why look down the road? It hasn't been relevant for XYZ hours of driving so far...

Eventually they confirm to the norms of traffic. And why not? They haven't seen an accident in ages and if they have, they likely drove past it after the fact without knowing how the accident happened and believing it to be a "freak thing". Thus the deviation from what they should do is rationalised and then normalised through daily use.

Then an accident happens and a multi-vehicle pile up occurs because the "norms of traffic" are NOT what people should be doing.

Sadly most people do that. While continuing to believe that their initial conscientiousness (first impressions!) - since slackened/eroded - means they are an above average driver.

And I too am subject to this human behaviour as much as I try to be conscientious about it. I know I will have some bad habits learned in similar fashion. But I don't know what they are because I have rationalised all my actions to myself. I should go do some training again...
> The California jungle primaries destroyed almost all of the right wing wingnuts in California

No, they didn't.

> However, the more interesting cases are actually where there have been two Democratic candidates, and, yes, much to my irritation, it really does seem to promote "centrism".

Almost invariably, the candidate thar had the most institutional support (usually, a more centrist one) in the primary wins the general in that case, same as they likely would have in the prior system where the institutional support would have won them the party nomination. The difference is that they campaign against another (usually more leftist) Democrat in the general.
Which remarks in particular made you think this?
This one is fun because it wasn't a conspiracy, just a simple human mistake, but then became one when the coverup started.
And if you want to be inspired (whether or not you own a microscope) take a look at Journey to the Microcosmos on YouTube https://youtube.com/c/microcosmos/
Yeah, people have bought stocks on future expectations - specifically, future expectations of being able to sell it for more than they bought it, and for more than if they bought something else instead - for quite a long time, compared to buying just on what has already happened.

But they still use concrete financials (e.g. growth of revenue is just the derivative of revenue) to make those decisions, and are assuming that the future buyers will be looking at similar numbers that are based in the same real economic business process.

The fundamental case for bitcoin-as-an-investment[0] is much less well-defined, and differs far more depending on who you ask.

[0] bitcoin-as-currency is a different frequently-talked-about potential future state, but not as relevant to the "acting like a tech stock" discussion
I think that's true, and pushes things more extreme, but is pushed against (incompletely) by jungle primaries and to a lesser extent by open primaries; and ... I don't see the relationship with RCV, which was all I was discussing. Did you mean to respond one level up?
What are the long term effects of the enzyme itself as the environmental toxin? Plastics are not a problem at all since they decompose naturally if you give them enough time. There will barely be any plastic left 500 years after we stop producing new plastic.
Because Java,C#,Golang,Javascript exist.
Fast Fashion is pollution then as well, and that’s absolutely horrible environmentally and in regards to factory conditions. There aren’t any BTC sweat shops as far as I know.
I don't think comparing OAuth2 against "blockchain something" is fair in response to GP's "but currently incompatible with most websites"

I don't know what the other technology you were trying to draw parallels against, but this argument is off on the wrong foot IMHO
It’s funny that you link an article about Canada “ending gerrymandering” when in 2019 Trudeau’s party won the election while losing the popular vote!

You actually just proved the article’s point that gerrymandering exists in any political system that uses geographic districts. Given that fact, maybe SCOTUS wasn’t so dumb in kicking that futile exercise to the states
Open source it or upstream it.
Remember when it was discovered that arc welders could produce Carbon 60, and there was a huge run on arc welders? All of a sudden there was a whole new class of customer beyond the usual customer base of people who do welding: people who do materials science research.

I would hazard a guess to say that 99% of production Python is people doing the equivalent of welding, but there is also this 1% who want the GIL to be gone so they can repurpose Python as a tool for a whole new class of problem solving.

It will be an exciting future for them.

For us welders, we’ll carry on gluing stuff together blissfully unaware of the GIL. Async and non-blocking IO are great. I don’t think I’ve ever needed compute-concurrency, not in Python anyway.
>it had assets

That doesn't mean there is a floor. If there is no demand for any of those assets they would be worth nothing.

USD doesn't have a floor either. One day everyone could just decide it's worthless scraps of cloth.
What about C-evo?
So how does this relate to the aggressive lobbying and infiltration that modern trans advocacy groups do? is it to secure a 'buffer' of rights, gain so much privileges that even if the scary 'cis majority' takes away some of them you will still have some?

I'm trying hard to correlate "We were arrested and discriminated against in the past" to "We must teach impressionable pre-pubescents about gender dysphoria behind their parents' back and ban anyone who criticizes this off the internet in the present". A majority used to take your rights away, then it self corrected and gave you your rights back, then you... impose your views back on them and influence institutions to crush their dissenting views ?

Am I just naive or is "we used to be second class citizens but now we're not" cause for reconciliation with and gratitude toward the majority, not hostility and belligerent activism ?
American Dragnet: Data-Driven Deportation in the 21st Century
I don’t like crypto and in all truth, I would love to use this as evidence that I’ve always been right. However, at its core, this story is about some random startup running out of money. It doesn’t mean a thing and I can’t possibly use it to slag on crypto.
I worked in consulting and my company was largely unaffected. We had clients in traditional businesses unrelated to the dotcom boom. But I know people who got laid off, particularly from March First, and a lot of people that got into the industry with boot camp training got out and moved on to other things.
Squarespace, wix, and shopify are the main ones that come to mind. In 2016 my job used to be mainly wordpress stuff and it was an absolute nightmare keeping the servers running and things up to date.

The dev time to keep the server running would be more than a squarespace subscription easily. And when the client stops needing changes, they only have to keep paying the monthly SS bill and require no help from the agency they originally went with. The place I worked at eventually went out of business and it was a nightmare for the clients who relied on us for hosting and modifications.

Part of the world has already started hitting 50°C because of global warming. I guess world getting warmer would means higher chances of such bacteria evolving naturally. India and Pakistan have high population cities with huge waste dumps/land fills so this enzyme or similar evolving naturally is a possibility.
Proportional vs winner takes all is a separate issue.
Did two years at JuCo because I fucked up my first semester at a university.

Actually, I might have been able to go back to a university under probation (is that the right term?) but I was too college-ignorant to know that.

Still, two years at a community college is in fact what I think I really needed at the time. Knocked out the first couple of years of prerequisites and for very little cash (my minimum wage job working at a pizza place paid for college + apartment ... this was 1984, FWIW). I even got Calc 1 and II behind me.

Fond memories.
Completely different reason, fiat is backed by nothing on purpose.
Because it's not a huge game changer.
What would you do differently if the GIL was gone?
when people need speed in Python they write C/C++ extensions or use multiple processes/computers
this was the case with RTX voice, a simple regedit made it work on non-RTX cards fine.
Just to clarify, I do not hate MSFT. I just don't have the ability to implement such things and just curious whether it is feasible (in reasonable time) or not. If the actual code is not available maybe someone can fork the Terminal code? Or if that does not get around the legal stuffs, maybe take the idea and go from there?
Security research viewed exclusively as coercion is passe.
This isn't really a constructive or useful comment. From what I saw, designers were able to build with Squarespace most of the stuff the devs were doing in wordpress and the sites were more reliable and cost less in the long run.
Is population growth a good measure of demand? You can’t show up in the local census unless you actually land a place to live. The priced-out cohort seems relevant.

Meanwhile fertility among the adult incumbents does raise the population, even though those children won’t demand housing units for at least 18 years.

Maybe San Francisco has added a bunch of professionals living like college students while Atlanta has added a bunch of actual babies.
> “They are driven by a belief in scarcity--that for them to have, others must not”

You’re talking about Bitcoin and NFT enthusiasts, right? Because a belief in scarcity, no matter how artificial, is precisely what drives them.
At the risk of starting a flamewar: I wonder about the relationship between the degraded practices of many startups and this sort of "got mine" mentality. The dominant pattern for startups over the last 10-15 years has been to soak up VC money, obtain massive valuations, flood the market with supply, and establish yourself as a hegemon once you've wiped out all of the stable but cash-poor competitors.

Perhaps it's excessive pattern matching, but it's hard not to see a civic relationship between the (correct) perception of startups as underhanded and the rise of an entire industry of scammers who will do and say anything to get ahead.
Whoa! Probably not wise to casually suggest people pop corticosteroids if their “inflammation is in overdrive” based on some blood tests. Seems like something a doctor needs to evaluate given the serious side effects of their use.
In most of the G7 they are. Because they aren't voted on by elected officials, again...
Maybe my experience was in part shaped by the fact that I took classes at night. Were the classes you took exclusive to members of the dual credit program? It does make sense, as basically every teacher I had at my cc was phenomenal. Though I did go to a truly massive cc.
> The gist is, split states into a smaller number of larger districts, each of which gets multiple representatives. The representatives are allocated proportionally to the vote in each large district. So if the district has 5 representatives, party X gets 63% of the vote, and party Y gets 37% of the vote, then party X gets 3 members and party Y gets 2 members.

Note that in order for this approach to be coherent at all, you need to abandon the idea that it's possible for a voter to vote for a candidate for office. The only kind of vote this system acknowledges is a vote for a political party.
