Except that it's not. The concept most people don't fully understand here is that of worldview.

On the internet, people often are honest, and say what they really think. This reflects their (often divergent) beliefs about the world.

Again, in the context of meta-discussions like this, most people do not know what a belief is. For example, it does not mean only religious belief. It does not mean "a false idea that someone else has". Beliefs are actually foundational concepts and viewpoints in everyone's brain.

And the most core beliefs are generally reductionist regardless of who you are. Think about looking off into the distance. You can't have an infinite concept of what's out there so it all fades to a point.

A big part of the problem in many of these online conflicts is that the opposing parties are effectively occupying different realities. But even more difficult is that each is 100% certain theirs is the correct version. And even more difficult is the fact that as I said, they don't understand this concept of worldview or realize that no worldview is perfectly accurate. Actually most don't understand the difference between a worldview, a normal viewpoint, and a true fact about the universe.

Even more difficult is the fact that worldviews are closely linked to group identity. So much of the behavior is raw tribalism (trying to protect/promote your own group subconsciously) attached to worldviews, but the people think they are just defending true facts about the world.
Agree.

A lot of this "controversial" stuff isn't ie therapeutic cures for sickle cell, a single nucleotide mutation with devastating impact on quality of life.

For some like myself with CDH1(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CDH1_(gene)) it means a total gastrectomy is the prophylactic solution to avoiding hereditary diffuse stomach cancer. CDH1 is a more complex mutation than sickle cell.

These technologies are capable of doing more good than harm for society in the near term. The dystopian visions are not without merit, but that's the general rule of thumb for technology in general. A loss of genetic diversity is likely the gravest concern. Some mutations have benefit ie sickle cell vs malaria, but others like CDH1 have mostly been slipping under the evolutionary radar. There are multiple variants of concern and the mutation is just independently occurring across the global human population irrespective of any special heritage. There are other cancers/maladies just like this that medicine has no good solution for. They don't noticeably impede genetic reproduction so it carries from generation to generation.

For now most sane people are not considering germ-line modification. I would expect that to require multiple generations of study to even broach the subject.
The post-war massive suburbia had a very strong racist component. (Reynolds "Little Boxes" refers to the post-World War II white-only suburb of Westlake; the famous Levittown was also whites-only). Ditto the GI bill https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G.I._Bill#Racial_discriminatio... . See also redlining.

It also had a strong class component. "In some cases, suburbanites saw self-government as a means to keep out people who could not afford the added suburban property maintenance costs not needed in city living." (Quoting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suburb#United_States ).

Critical race theory attempts to address how laws and practices which were originally done with racist intent can result in racism "designed into the system" even when no one enforcing the system is racist.

I can't help but think this is one such case.

FWIW, I was a kid in the 1970s. I grew up in a grid-system city neighborhood containing homes mostly built in the 1930s and 1940s, and also including duplexes and 2-story apartments from the 1920s. The nearest market was 6 blocks away. The nearest restaurant 5 blocks. (That was also where the nearest newspaper rack was - I was sent there a few times to get the paper.) Zillow says the lot was 5,250 sq.ft.

I enjoyed growing up there. The elementary school was in walking distance. Lots of places I could go to on my own even before I could drive.

Which is why I struggle to understand why people wanted to every activity to be 'at the other end of a car ride'.

Or understand why the extra time needed to maintain such a large lawn has a substantial payoff in the bbq-ing or entertaining. The few times we had events that large, we reserved covered picnic tables at a city park.
Issue for manages is that:

- Slackers are a pretty big % of corpo workforce. They are not as useless in the office.

- You cannot pressure hard-workers to do even more and more on remote.

So the balance is broken. Slackers do fkall and hardworkers do only whats needed.

If you fire slackers -> hiring process costs a lot and you have no guarantee you get a hardworker. So for employer its a lose-lose situation.

The other comment explains in more details why firing is hard.

As a programmer I've approached these problems with programming productivity software for myself.
1) A hierarchical task list that has unlimited depth for tasks and undo history. I write every little task down and their subtask and their subtask... This way when I do get distracted (and I do a lot), one look at it and I know snap back to the context I was in.
2) Micro day/routine planner that schedules my day and reminds me to do things with text to speak while I work

This is false. They still can and happily will. Issue is more about vendor not shipping a CSM image. A modern x86 processor will happily run real DOS just fine.

But...they're application-specific, by design. If they were more generalized, they'd start to approach CPUs or DSPs.

If you devoted extra area to some other algorithm, it would be a big cost for no benefit. Put that logic on some other ASIC and buy that one instead.
Pi is standard, extremely well supported, has GPIO and most people are familiar with running a container and gluing python compared to writing C (I know about micropython, but Joe PythonLearner doesn't).

Yeah, however that is not what happens if you just let that behavior described above slide. Punching someone because they said something to you is usually wrong especially if they don't even know each other (so it can't be personal, really).
You're wrong. Block rewards halve every 4 years. Next halving is in 2 years. This means that electricity use funded by block rewards trends to zero. Miners earn also transaction fees, which will gradually replace block rewards in the long term. Transaction fees are revenue from utility.

It's a well designed incentive system; it will keep Bitcoin running as long as people find it useful, and it won't eat the world.
Weird old legacy hardware that only runs on DOS generally requires real-time access to stuff like ISA cards or parallel/serial ports, so this wouldn't work for that use case since the computer doesn't have any of those.

Thats a feature not a bug. Not your keys not your coin. Neither scammers nor government can take it from you without you voluntarily giving it up.

FreeDOS is known to not run well inside of virtualization. A proper host install would be far more capable.
In the "USB-A/B" section, they're all labelled "Type-A", the 3rd and 4th should be labelled "Type B".

It's also missing

- micro-b 4 wire (most electronics prior to type c)
- micro-b 8 wire (mostly seen only found on external 2.5" HDDs)

There were also a bunch of other connectors (mini-a, mini-a/b, etc) but they are very rare.
"we used to barter"

Did we? Really? Does economic exchange without money have to be barter? I've yet to see actual evidence of this, rather than just bald assertions or just-so stories.

Or is it just that the kinds of mental debt-tallying we've always done is facilitated by physical tokens (money) commonly accepted as unit of account?

Nonsense. There's no surgery in the world which would make me lose my allergies and eczema problems, but a few edited genes before birth might just do the trick.

Or an acquaintance of mine with cystic fibrosis, who's been in and out of hospital for the vast majority of her life and knows that she probably won't make it beyond 40; she definitely wouldn't mind if someone fixed those mutations before she was born.
I'd love to do this, if for no other reason than I hate working with cron. What would you use it for? What would the ideal version of this feature look like for you? What kind of apps would you be more easily able to ship? Is it mostly so you wouldn't need to keep a single tiny running VM sitting around running cron?

You're making sweeping statements here, when in reality it depends on both the block reward AND the price of bitcoin. Currently, the block reward has decreased as the price of bitcoin has increased. If the market cap of bitcoin stays the same, then the mining reward in terms of energy will decrease.
Damn yeah, I never thought about it that way. The difference between the job I had a 45 min commute to and the one I could walk to in 2 mins was night and day. Now I know why. I’m finally not showing up tired to work.

I occasionally amuse myself by gawking at the formations of rainclouds in my vicinity, which included stuff from thunderclouds thousands of kilometers across, to jagged clouds bringing alternate rain and sunshine, to again a massive cloud covering this whole region except a circle right around my house.

Latency testing remote browsing: Why display streaming is hard
Modern volume normalization isn't done based on the highest peak of the track. Instead they normalize based on the average perceived loudness of the whole track (to a level below 0 so there is headroom for peaks). It's intentionally designed to avoid the exact issue you describe.

If this was not done users of streaming services would have to be constantly adjusting the volume to deal with perceived volume differences between tracks due to different levels of dynamic range compression.

An epigenetic alteration is a multiplier on the expression of a gene. it can either inhibit its expression or increase its expression, in a continuum like manner, and remarkably, in a tissue/cell specific manner. A complete inhibition is akin to a gene removal, behaviourally speaking and indeed there can be many synergies between multiples altered genes expressions.
The effects of an epigenetic alteration usually last 6 month although some consequences of the alteration might in some contextes be permanent.

Of course the main drug class for this are peptides.

An example being melatonan 2, which activate melanin in a continuous like, dose dependent manner.

this change is permanent.

now there are much more useful peptides out there,
for example:
thymalin, the thymus hormone, is revolutionnary as it reverse thymus involution. Thymus involution is the main programmed aging factor, which leads to your death as an evolutionnary advantage. I have discussed this topic enough the last week so I won't go into details here.
just so you know thymalin rejuvenate the thymus and increase lymphocite T naive cells production by up to 680% which totally fix immunodepression in the edlerdly and e.g. fix covid since day 1 (would have avoided 15 million deaths were people litterate) or reduce all cause mortality in humans by 410% when coadministarted with epitalon,

epitalon allow your cells to bypass the hayflick limit (maximum number of divisions). It also rejuvenate the pineal gland and therefore fix age related sleep issues.

BPC-157 significantly accelerate the time it takes for a physical injury to resorb. It is also unique in it's tendon rejenerative properties, its angiogenesis superior to VEGF, neuromodulation and its effect on IBS.

cortexin/cerebrosylin are potently nootropics and neuroprotective. Rethinalamin rejuvenate the eyes which can un-blind people in some conditions, e.g. solve glaucoma and macular degeneration.

PNC-27 is one of the most interesting peptide, since it is basically the best cure against cancer e.g. https://touroscholar.touro.edu/sjlcas/vol13/iss2/7/

there is an unlimited potential for peptides, many "incurable" diseases have seen peptides specifically made for them and acts as effective cures (e.g. multiple sclerosis), however for the most part their potential is untapped, the reason being that this tech is endogenously produced in the human body, which make them unpatentable, which makes them unlucrative and since public research clinical trials are inexistant, you will never see them massively adopted, unless by accident.

And then there’s another OS: UEFI.

Something I recently joked about doing was porting SDL to the UEFI environment and then building DOSBOX for it. I’m sure someone has already done this in some fashion, but the idea was amusing enough for me to genuinely consider it one of these weekends. I guess in that case, though, you can’t really run FreeDOS.
Those screenshots of the DOS applications make me feel nostalgic! I came across a screenshot [1] of WaveStudio recently, which was a wave editor they bundled for Windows, but I’d totally forgotten about the DOS apps that predated it!

The entirety of evolution and social progress is a neck to neck rat race run against a red queen. Blaming mining (of any kind, gold, diamonds, rare earth metals, oil, bitcoin) for being a rat race is like blaming you for being a mammal that uses oxygen. Yes you are a mammal that uses vital oxygen. So are all the other animals out there.
Personally I think both are true.

There are a lot of genetic defects we can engineer away. There’s a lot of other things that aren’t defects, but social pressure will make people want to engineer them away.

For example, when I was a child, British tabloids were saying “Abortion hope after ‘gay genes’ finding”: https://www.pinknews.co.uk/2019/08/30/gay-gene-newspapers-19...

(Bonus points as the gay gene didn’t really exist; but as I’m bi, people like that would’ve tried to eradicate me before I was born if they’d had a way to do so).

As I expect my resistance to social pressure to be exactly average until shown otherwise, I sometimes find myself wondering what things I falsely believe to be real defects that would be moral to eradicate.
I really like that they use Energy as currency in Stellaris (the game made by Paradox). I think it shows what really matters.

The R issue is a data cleansing problem too. Data cleansing is something that not many people talk about because it isn't exciting work.
And this is where we run slam into problems. This was privately developed and paid for.

YOU have decided that another solution "MUST" come first because supposedly you understand the economics better. But these guys were willing to stick some money behind their idea. Govt cannot understand why private enterprise works, and this shoes it. Why not let them lose their shirts if it is such a stupid idea (hint, it's not and the folks talking down the economics are going to have massive egg on their face in 5 years).

In private enterprise without the blocking power of the red tape its likely a number of solutions could be brought to bear.

More market rate water pricing (hello alfalfa for china). Actual development of additional water sources (despite billions we get bupkis despite massive population growth).

Instead, we are getting local residential water use regulations that are comically extreme, and on a % basis do almost nothing.

And yes, the penalty rates for certain residential water use make that "extremely expensive" desalination plant look very very cheap.

Literally every proposal is met by some govt or other do gooder saying it's not good enough and there is something better to do - meanwhile nothing happens. That is until enough stupidity collects in a room and we get multi-billion dollar expenditures on things like hydrogen with almost no natural market demand.
I suppose you could use GRUB and whatever Coreboot has as its BIOS? Either way, sad times indeed when PCs aren't anymore.
> When Herrhausen's motorcade approached the attack site, the lookout waited for the lead car to pass by the bike, then radioed to the terrorist in the bushes who quickly activated the beam. Herrhausen's vehicle broke the beam which triggered the electronic detonator in the bomb. The front of Herrhausen's car broke the beam at the precise moment the back right seat, where Herrhausen was sitting, was directly across from the bomb. The force of the explosion was aimed at where Herrhausen was sitting. The bomb was placed on a child's bike to match the height of the back right door of the armored vehicle. To develop this attack, the terrorists had to compute the speed of the car, the length of the car, and the height of the back right door. As his car passed the bike, at 8:34 a.m., the bike exploded and some 22 pounds of TNT propelled schrapnel through the right rear door, forcing a piece of the armored door into Herrhausen, pushing him across the back seat into the left door. The force of the explo- sion, which took place 3 feet away from the right rear door of Herrhausen's vehicle, threw the 2.8 ton armored vehicle across the street, approximately 82 feet. The driver was slightly injured.

The issue is total transaction fees must be kept high enough to avoid miners defecting into double spend attacks. That would be easy if people where using it as a high turnover currency, but if people want to use it as a long term store of value transaction fees can quickly become many orders of magnitude smaller than the value stored in Bitcoins.

It need not be illegal. Short Bitcoin, preform double spend attack between addresses you own, profit.
> Proof-of-work is so obviously, undeniably, mathematically guaranteed to be a crypto dead-end

Bold claim.

> Proof-of-work requires, by design, that the electricity value expended on mining is proportional to the total market cap of Bitcoin

False statement (as it ignores the bitcoin emission schedule and transaction fees).

> The problem, of course, is that if it takes an Argentina's worth of electricity to run Bitcoin now, how does the world manage if Bitcoin has a 10 or 100 times greater market cap? Obviously it can't, and world governments would rightly shut it all down before the majority of our electric output went to mining BTC.

Constructing an irrelevant hypothetical based on the initial false statement.

> simply no way around this issue if you're on a proof-of-work system, and given that, it's so easy to see that BTC is guaranteed to fail at some point

More bold declarative statements with nothing to back them up.

First, Heroku's pipelines and GitHub integration are (or, I guess, were) excellent.

We (Fly.io) intentionally didn't build a pipeline replacement. We exist for one reason: to run apps close to users. We're just now to the size where we can do that well. It'll be a while before we can get good at a second thing. Heroku shipped them something like 8 years after they launched.

At the same time, GitHub actions and Buildkite are _very_ good. They're less opinionated than Heroku Pipelines, but I don't regret figuring out how to use them for my own projects.

I think there's a chance that emulating Heroku that closely is a path to failure in the 2020s.
