This is a completely valid concern, and is the reason why many people believe single person electorates fail to offer equal representation. Luckily there is an alternative: proportional representation. Meaning your district would be represented by multiple people. In my opinion a well represented district should have at least 30 members (but ideally closer to 300). For example if you are of the working class, and want representation from someone to represent you that also belongs to the working class you can vote for—say—the workers party, and if your district had 100 members, that party would only need 1% of the votes and you’ll have your preferred representation.

In fact in many democracies with proportional representation so often had special women‘s parties which were voted into the national assembly when women were fighting for equal representation back in the 60s-80s

> 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.

This makes sense to me, but I wonder how many VCs will pump money into a business, having a pretty good hunch that the business model will never make that much sense at a meaningful scale, but the numbers will probably look good enough for a return of investment until the pyramid collapses after the series C.

These companies are restructured for increase of perceived value, not multi-decade sustainability. Bitcoin to me is just the purest form of this culture.

We seem to mostly agree.

My observation is that the system is neither regressive nor progressive for people who don't already own a home.

Renters basically don't see this tax at all, and people who are considering buying a home see the same total burden of tax plus mortgage payments.

(Or for people who buy outright with spare cash instead of a mortgage, the constant burden is tax plus opportunity cost of capital.

A mortgage is just a way to rent some capital from a bank in return for compensating them for the opportunity cost.)
Have you ever held 24k gold? It's actually beautiful, and I think that's why it's consistently been valued throughout history. Couple that with scarcity and I think it will always be valuable.

Gerrymandering is an issue precisely because of winner take all. In a proportional system the definition of districts (if they exist at all) doesn't have the same effect on the outcome of the election.

In fact, the best solution to gerrymandering is adopting an electoral system (proportional) that isn't susceptible to gerrymandering.
How many? I keep hearing this question as if asking it was a valid argument in itself. (Though, to be fair, you do underline that you don't know the answer.)

Regarding your question: whatever they do, those humans will consume resources and create waste. We can't delete them if we do away with Visa :). Sure, they, in theory, would be able to work on something else, freeing up their resources, but that wouldn't decrease the resource use of humanity.

Also, people keep comparing BTC's current resource use to the bank system (I think that includes the CC companies as well). However, very few transactions are done with BTC compared to the world financial system (or even just Visa). And if adoption grows, BTC price grows and if BTC price grows (or, in other words everything devalues relative to BTC) then mining rewards grow (measured in other assets) and if mining rewards grow then new miners will join and that means using more energy.

I think I've seen a comparison between Visa and BTC measuring how much energy each used for doing a single transaction (or for moving a set amount). Visa was 10 or 100 fold more efficient. Even back then.

USD is fundamentally different from cryptocurrency. For one thing, there will always be demand for USD because Americans have to pay taxes in dollars. If you’re an American and you make $X in a year, you have to buy ~1/3 of that in USD to pay your taxes, no matter what.
Which will be recycled as you pointed out. Now for the ~40% that goes to electronic manufacturing, I don't know how much we can easily recover.

> "It's very possible to make super fast sites on WordPress..."

The word "very" is misplaced. What I've noticed is that as soon as you add WooCommerce, you can forget about snappy performance. You may get "adequate" speed, but never "super fast". If I'm wrong, please point me to a WooCommerce site with snappy page loading speed.

The question is, do the conveniences, features and content control of Wordpress+WooCommerce outweigh the underwhelming site speed? Probably. Maybe.

I wish Wordpress would improve their built-in features rather than farming them out to one-trick plugins at $99 per year. Such as anti-fraud. I discovered recently that even defending against multiple orders placed over short time spans, requires a $99 subscription to the official plugin:
https://woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-anti-fraud/

We had over 10,000 fake orders placed over the weekend from someone who apparently was testing credit cards. I never expected their transactions to actually be accepted by Stripe, or even make it through our checkout. Now I must pay the protection money in the form of the "anti fraud" plugin.
This isn't actually the case. See either STV or MMP which allow the combination of proportionality and voting for individual candidates.

They only really care about Linux usage in embedded computers (Jetson) and in datacenters, and Free drivers would allow you to modify them to permit using consumer GPUs in virtual machines. Currently, you need to spend significantly more money for an enterprise GPU that has the same specs as a consumer GPU just so the driver will allow you to use GPU passthrough. They did recently allow consumers to pass a GPU to a single Windows VM guest so you could run a Windows-only game, but you can't split access to the single GPU among multiple VMs.

I would bet money that this has happened a TON over the last decade, just as you say. Especially post-Uber where "hypergrowth" to get market dominance was all the rage even in extremely cost-heavy, lower-margin industries where scaling was always gonna be a big challenge.

If there's good news, though, it's that this appears to be slowing down. Lot of folks getting disillusioned with WeWork, Uber, etc now that those exits happened and went nowhere. I'm assuming investors are realizing they won't be able to play that trick too many more times.

That doesn't logically follow. Even "perfectly" distributed districts, you can win an election like this without having the most popular votes; all you need is for the districts that vote the 2nd/losing party to overwhelmingly vote that party, while the districts they lose be more narrow.

Gerrymandering is a separate issue, and will arrive pretty much any time encumbants can affect district boundaries, as there is an incentive to either create "safe"districts, or to dilute the effect of areas unlikely to vote for you.

I think Casey's somewhat caustic exasperation can be a major distraction at times, especially if you are exposed to it the first time you listen to him. But I have to say, his frustration is justified. He has valid complaints about almost the entire industry and educational system, so it's not just directed at Microsoft, and certainly not just at the individual grunts working there (almost all of use are grunts). I do know some of the backstory behind Casey starting this reference project/experiment (I won't post the GitHub issue "lore" here, as it'll just create even more of a "he started it, no he did" back-and-forth), so I think there is some mutual animus with these particular grunts, but I think that's not at all interesting, and I don't think knowing the backstory changes anything.

Instead of just personalizing his critique (ignoring that Casey makes it easy to do that), think of it this way: why hasn't Microsoft leadership, running a multi-billion dollar company for decades, already devoted appropriate resources to create an essentially perfect terminal/console, something so discrete and simple and fixed in feature-set?

Also, I don't put much stock in the complaint about Casey's license choice. He made plenty of educational content delving into the design and implementation details, and one of his major points is that non-pessimisation implementations such as his have so little code in the first place.
A couple of years ago I had an interview with a startup in Japan.

The CTO just wouldn't stop speaking (very fast) and barely let me speak or even heard me. This was first red flag to me.

At some point he asked me very distinctly "If you join, you will work with engineers that are way smarter than you, is that OK with you?".
I was startled by this question and felt quite insulted by it. The conversation basically went south when I answered something like "Well, I'd sincerely love to get such experience because as far as I remember it has always been the other way around when it comes to engineering.".

Now don't get me wrong, I am usually doing my best to stay humble and open minded, and comparing people or bragging around is not something I normally do or consider appropriate.

But I am also a proud and very good engineer gifted by the ability to learn, understand and visualize things very quickly. I have been passionately honing my skills and learning everyday for more than 15 years. And as a human being, I would absolutely defend my pride it if someone attacks it.

I think it's only natural to feel bad about such situation, but the interview not working is not always your own fault.
Anti-Evolution Legislation

Look at it this way: PowerShell sends telemetry. The Terminal in which it runs sends Telemetry. The "dotnet core" framework PowerShell uses in turn also sends telemetry. The PowerShell modules you load (from Microsoft!) send telemetry.

In effect, ONE application has at least four independent sets of telemetry.

This is the console, the kind that you would use on servers. High-security servers in DMZs. Servers hosting police records, health records, or even military secrets.

FUD my arse. It's a torrent of information that seeks every crack it can find to "get out", purposefully designed to circumvent mitigations by security teams.

Two examples: Microsoft regularly changes which environment variables disable telemetry. Just about every major release means that I have to check if it is now "DOTNET_TELEMETRY=Off" or "NET_TELEMETRY_CORE=0" or whatever. This isn't an accident. Nobody's "finger slipped". The old telemetry started to tail off and someone "fixed it" in Microsoft to get 100% coverage, against the will of their privacy concious customers.

Similarly, some Windows telemetry uses "microsft.com" instead of "microsoft.com" to bypess firewall rules blocking the latter.

You can't tell me that this is "nothing to worry about" when it feels an awful lot like the enemy is inside the gates and is actively hostile to any measures taken to stop them progressing further into the network.
What are human rights? To have an abortion? To own a gun? To have a say in what your children are taught? To get money from the government? It all depends on who you ask. Calling something a "human right" is a rhetorical device used to make disagreeing with your political position immoral and even heretical rather than just plain old wrong.
no one cares what you do. telemetry is only viewed in aggregate. it doesn't make sense, nor is it a good use of time, to scrutinize the telemetry of a single user for any reason.

you keep on living in your town where the people don't have fingerprints or names, and the shoes leave no tracks. I'll be over here getting things done, because doing good work is far more important than avoiding being seen.
#22 and #42 is how they try to prevent people from adding RPMs from mainstream RHEL. I have seen GitHub repos owned by RH employees that have containers files that require you to attach entitlement cert and the Red Hat cdn repo to install additional packages. It doesn’t violate EULA because they aren’t distributing the image.

RH knows people will try to abuse the free UBI image and install RPMs they shouldn’t be.

I work with Red Hat Partners so I know these rules well.
As noted, on an airplane without an AFM (Approved Flight Manual) the POH does not need no be on-board, only a placard with the operating limitations. The cutoff for the AFM requirement are individual aircraft that had their first flight after 1 March 1979.

How was WeWork QE-driven? It's financials were just plain bad, no? The story was that "scale + tech = magic" would happen at some point. The story didn't work. Everyone knew that it hadn't happened yet, though, as far as I recall.

As I understand it, this is an incorrect representation of what Stream is. Unfortunately I rarely see this misconception corrected.

Stream is only "between" fedora and RedHat until RHEL X.0 is released.

For instance, once RHEL 9.0 development branched from fedora 34,
Stream 9 became the upstream and just ahead of all further RHEL 9.X releases, and doesn't depend on fedora anymore.

Furthermore all Stream rpms undergo the exact same RHEL testing and quality validation chain than proper RHEL packages.

As such by using Stream 9, you are arguably receiving the bug fixes that are eventually going into RHEL 9 proper, just in advance a bit.

RedHat engineers have argued that keeping up to date would amount to effectively running a faster fixed (less buggy overall) OS than RHEL.
They also treat docs as a way to add detail to and flesh out well-designed products rather than as a way to disclaim and explain things they didn’t feel like or have the resources to fix.

Larger districts give you less accurate representation, not more, as you lose the opportunity to granularly represent the populace. It also gives you more opportunity for individual representatives' personalities and opinions (rather than the policy interests of the electorate), and make it necessary for large interests to bribe fewer people. Lastly, larger districts (and party-defined proportional representation based on them) reduce individual regions' capacity to elect representatives who are responsive to local concerns; as much as the political commentariat would like peoples' policy preferences to be divided perfectly along party lines, that isn't how it works in real life and it risks making collaboration across party lines on any given issue more difficult (by making representatives more beholden to the party than they already are).

To some extent, I feel like Germany's system (where the legislature is elected based on local districts, but then members are added from party lists to achieve proportional balance) could be the solution that incentivizes the least political gerrymandering, but I don't have a finger on the pulse of Germany's political problems to see the drawbacks.

Those statements are substantive if you engage them in good faith, which you chose not to do. I'll elaborate for clarity.

Our lying, corrupt politicians are selected from an electorate who themselves peddle lies and falsehoods on social media, and often choose to believe convenient lies that support whatever cause they want to believe in. That's not my opinion. It's an empirical fact, which you can go verify for yourself: you don't have to spend but five minutes on Facebook or Twitter to see that it is true.

The people that complain about lying, corrupt politicians are almost always the same people that peddle lies on social media. If these people truly want less lying, corrupt politicians, then a prerequisite would be for them to not engage in that behavior themselves. As I said, our politicians mirror ourselves, and they are selected from among us. We get the leaders we deserve.

Universal recall won't solve the underlying problem. We'll cycle through lying politicians more frequently under such a system, but the incentive to lie to get elected remains unchanged.

Algorithmic districting simply punts the issue to a different group of people, who will be just as corruptable as the current set of people who draw district boundaries. Who will write the algorithm? Who will set the rules under which the algorithm operates? At least under our current system, politicians accountable to voters each term set the boundaries. How will the people writing the algorithm be held to account?
