> In Sweden, non-white people have zero power.

Categorically and unquestionably false. What the parent is saying is that he wants more power than Swedes. (I’m not trolling, please check my Karma)

That he believe's he's being discriminated against tells me everything I need to know about how he aligns himself, because only a few people have this rhetoric, and it's mostly attempting to garner sympathy.

Why would I say that?

I don't want to get into a race-debate, but there's a lot of people who don't seem to like Sweden because it's not anti-semetic enough.

That might sound like an extremely rude statement but it's actually a huge problem at the moment, Muslims in the country seem to be doing anything they can to make themselves sound like victims deflect the fact that anti-semetic violence has been rising incredibly fast in the last 10 years where I live.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisemitism_in_Sweden#Situati...

Why am I saying this?

Because non-white people have as much power as white people in Sweden, there's non-white politicians at all levels of government (and not "Uncle Toms" that speak the party line). Here's the minister for Energy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibrahim_Baylan (not that I'm saying it proves anything, but there's no barriers there)

The only reason to lie about it is because you want sympathy, there's so many checks and balances built into the system to avoid racism. I'll be completely honest and say that you're more likely to get a job as a Syrian than a Dane. (nobody can understand the bloody Danes)

The issue is that Sweden has a strong culture of "lagom", the idea that your actions shouldn't stick out so much. Don't buy the flash car, don't yell in public, wear modest clothes.

Muslims who keep placing stickers telling Jews they're unwelcome leads Swedes to dislike the Muslims that live here.

FWIW: I am not a Jew, and I'm a migrant to Sweden, but I've naturalised here and the rhetoric is the same as where I come from. The police are racist for investigating grooming gangs, so nobody investigates grooming gangs until it becomes a huge scandal. My childhood friend went missing (suspected murdered) after being targeted by one of these gangs, the fact that it hadn’t been investigated properly fuelled the far right in the region: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disappearance_of_Charlene_Down...

It's not that you're brown my dude, it's because you're affiliating yourself with people who are trying their damndest to be loud.

Nobody gives a fuck if you're brown. Seriously. I can't think of a more open place.

and, conversely, I don't give a fuck if you're Muslim, but I draw the line at making other people feel unwelcome.
tl;dr : the community where the children grows up.
Yes, that's also a factor that would make them lose face. Not only do they have ideological incentives to stick with zero-COVID policy and their own domestic vaccines, but as long as they can avoid an uncontrolled nationwide outbreak then the resulting need to restrict contact with the rest of the World is a further incentive to do so.
> But turks said

I very much doubt that these announcements are the _start_ of negotiations.

More likely, the public phase makes the beginning of the end of negotiations for Sweden (and Finland) to join NATO. It would be a co-ordinated, done deal or close to it, before they break cover and announce it to the world, and to Russia specifically.

Or he actually wants to own Twitter and drives up its value by making Twitter known to every person on the internet. Bad news are good news.

It doesn't matter if 5% or 20% or even 40% of Twitter users are bots. If Musk manages to double the number of subscribers by making Twitter a household name then the purchase was a good investment.

I think the point he was trying to make was that the example for @inbounds from the official documentation could cause out-of-bounds accesses, while it was clearly stated that you should only use @inbounds if you are sure that no out-of-bounds accesses are possible.
Fair enough, but I think the parent was right to object that the comments were not talking about mining in the context of the depreciation accounting issue that the article focuses on, but just giving their hot take on mining in general, and doing the latter (when the article's focus is something else) makes the forum worse.
And yet I find 20% more believable then under 5%

Edit: I guess it's true that lurkers won't be bots, unless they are clicking on ads or trying to simulate engagement to help certain twitter accounts seem popular.
nitrocellulose isn't necessarily very stable. If it's an amateur making gun cotton there's always the risk that they won't properly wash out the acid and if there's enough left, when left to dry the evaporation of the water can concentrate the remaining acid enough to cause spontaneous combustion. Other than that it's pretty stable but worth pointing out that film used to use nitrocellulose as the base material and there's tons of movie theatres that burned down in those days and even just vaults storing the film under ambient conditions. As the nitrocellulose decays, it can release nitric acid, thus accelerating the decay and potentially starting a fire.

If properly prepared and used and stored responsibly then gun cotton can be safe, even when used for teenage antics. Lighting off a piece while resting it on an open palm of course being one classic trick with nitrocellulose. I'd say storage and transportation of low and high explosives are some of the riskiest aspects because there's so many insidious ways for it to go wrong that you wouldn't learn about until you need to take your shoes off to count past 7. It doesn't help that nowadays it's so trivial to find out how to synthesize acetone peroxide and storing it long term is always going to be fraught with peril. Especially when someone without any semblance of proper containers stores it sealed up in a plastic bottle with a screw on cap. Just one drop or one crumb of primary explosive on the screw threads and maybe you get it sealed up, but when it dries out in the threads there's a good chance it goes off in your closed up hand when you try to open it and add in all the friction rubbing between the threads.
Cannot they do both, you pay per action AND your data are sold? What blocks companies from gathering user data in a web3 application and resell them?
Just for consistency: a_n is the coefficient of x^n, so the constant term ends up being a_0.
Based on my experience, numbering starts from one (like (x_1, x_2, x_3) as point of R^3) and off-sets from zero, e.g., when dealing with discrete time, t_0 is the first.
Lichess is a recent discovery of mine. I just play anonymously (without log-in) and so there is no rating to be concerned about and just moving the pieces around and having the opponent react already makes me feel seen; like I'm not just a passive participant in life. Wordle is a nice diversion as well.

Another thing is LichessTV which is just watching other people play chess and helps passes the time in a relaxing way; compared to watching people play games on Twitch which feels more distracting and time-consuming.
Yeah, but you wouldn't start there. You'd have a 8.. 16.. 32GB VM or whatever with fewer vCPUs until you have thousands of paying customers. It's just that you can get there so vertical scaling becomes a good possibility.

If it's the 80/20 rule then there's 4x of the other 80.58% that are lurking - which brings down % of fake/spam accounts.
Four significant digits? That's a lot of confidence.
Lurkers are also the most important people. They consume the content. They are the meat of the business, the ones that respond to advertising and political messaging. If I were twitter I would champion all the lurker accounts, all the eyeballs to which twitter serves content. Nobody ever faulted the Nielson ratings scheme for "lurker" viewers who only watched but didn't themselves create television shows.
Doesn't have an url in profile is sort of a weird metric. Note everyone is there to self-promote
This is unfortunate, and seems to impact hobbyists more than larger production setups if true.

I love DO, but with the pretty basic requirements I have (just a blog and some small apps) I need to start looking at cheaper options.
Not really surprising at all. It's incredibly common for legislatures to pass laws requiring something that would take resources to enforce, but not budgeting for those enforcement resources. It's called an unfunded mandate.
It’s always nice to hear that someone liked Pagoda Box. I worked there way back in 2011 before the Nanobox change, and it was really fun working with containers, dynamic load balancers, and the `git push` workflow before those were widely known.

Nothing was as magical as having a site up a running a few seconds after doing `git push pagoda`.

Of course I am biased though :)

I don't think accounts like yours are marked as bots... They're just not counted.
I work at https://PaperlessPost.com which isn't trying to melt anyones face with bleeding edge tech, it is blending these new features into a product to provide utility for normal people. For us this advanced stuff comes in based on the design you choose. Most of the "Flyer" designs have layers of animation, some examples that would use custom encoders and decoders implemented with WebWorkers, WebGL, WebAssembly along with some use of WebCodecs which is only available in Chrome now.
https://paperlesspost.com/flyer/grill-time
https://paperlesspost.com/flyer/roll-the-dice.

But other designs without animation would use 2d canvas in the editor and static images when they are sent out. In my mind the most advances stuff you will find out there is really about the "engines" that have been made in JS that might use some of these new APIs but without a sizable abstraction layer on top of them are likely not much more than a tech demo. Something like Google Maps or any of the web audio or graphics editors usually has way more "engine" type code with very carefully thought out performance considerations within it and the code that actually calls these APIs is often wrapped up and abstracted away as much as possible so that these APIs are called as little as possible.
If an account is in lurk mode, then its not a spammer so I'm okay with it being left out of that equation.

Where I might agree with you is a lurk mode account could become collateral damage in being considered fake. Lurkers don't retweet though. An account with a million followers isn't seen by everyone. Having a portion of that million like/retweet amplifies even further with their network now possibly seeing something from someone they are not following directly.

I'd be willing to accept that the number of lurkers that get lumped in with fake accounts when deciding the percentage of actual eyeballs on posts is not harmful. Those numbers are made up stats anyways. Like the old days of TV/Radio stations that covered large cities with millions of citizens. They would claim they have an audience in the millions even though a small fraction were actually watching/listening.
If people crash their car, should we blame Toyota? McDonald's doesn't force anyone to eat their food. If your fellow Canadians want to eat McDonald's, that's their choice. If they all stopped, McDonald's would either have to make healthier food or exit the country. But unless they're force feeding helpless Canadians food, it doesn't seem like them exiting because "people here are getting fat" is a rational suggestion.
It's funny since I've had folks claim I must be a bot because I follow more folks than I have following me. It's just weird how these folks create metrics without much of a decent explanation. The fact of the matter is that bots are a problem that I think can only really be managed but not eliminated. The first thing is to make it botting not something that should be punished from the start but something that is used for common automated purposes just like how Twitter does it now with some bots being tagged as such for legitimate reasons but not blocked or shadowbanned.
I think I've missed something here. Why would Elon not want to buy twitter if it has >5% spam accounts? Isn't the number of fake accounts one of the reasons he wanted to buy it in the first place? I don't understand why this would make him want to back out. It doesn't seem to be in conflict with any of the reasons he wants to buy.
If I recall correctly, it requires unanimous vote of approval.

>Intelligence really doesn’t seem like the solution to any of our big problems.

Simple example: how many people in the USA understand that inflation / money printing / quantitative easing is a tax and should be avoided at the level it is used to finance the spending? Not many, for sure.

Btw intelligence is not only sheer analytical power, it is also emotional control, selintrospection, focus skill, collaboration and interpersonal skill.
> but despite them growing more and more capable, my computing needs at home have gotten less and less.

And still, with my computing needs becoming more minimalistic, my RPi3B+ just doesn't deliver.

I'm currently trying to make it run my emacs/cli-based workflow somewhat acceptable, but the darn thing can't even run a shell without noticeable lag. There is a noticeable delay between keyboard entry and things showing up every few seconds. Not cool.
An open source community can do a lot and not everything.

I'm not aware of any opensource community being happy at doing on call.

Or end customer support.

Or even marketing.

And if we look at successful opensource projects, than we have companies behind them.
What Web3 should be is a) identity, and b) digital payment.

I am of the opinion that the state should provide digital identity service. Estonia is a good example, from what I've heard, of a state that is doing this effectively.

As for digital payment, Brazil seems to be in the lead now with Pix.

I see no valid role for private companies nor blockchains in providing digital ID and currency services.
The US really needs to setup nationwide tax infrastructure such that commerce is not stymied by the compliance burdens, or legal risks of making a mistake.

As a seller, there should be a government website with an API that I can hook into where it calculates all applicable taxes and does all that nonsense and all I need to worry about is providing the product or service.
Thanks for sharing it! I made this a few weeks ago as part of a blog article and was really impressed how easy three.js was to use. Overall much easier to get into than using C++ and OpenGL where the window setup required several hours to set up back in the day.

> But 10 of them (RPi 1B-3B+) are no longer in use.

Sell them. There's basically no supply and very strong demand right now, because in addition to hobbyist uses, there are a lot of people who have built products that are based around Pis and who can't sell their products, because they can't get Pis.

Go check eBay prices. 3Bs are selling for $70-$100. The 8GB 4s are selling for $150-$200. It's the best time to unload them you're ever likely to see for older hardware.
From their closet? What? They develop web3 software in the closet?
> This is disingenuous. The YPG question is not "no reason" for Turkey. (I disagree about the reason, but it is still an actual concern for the Turkish government).

I don't view that as a valid reason to object to Sweden joining NATO. Maybe Turkey does, and maybe they won't be in NATO over it by the end of the year? There's 0 chance that Sweden and Finland don't join NATO, regardless of what Turkey publically claims.

> Turkey absolutely cooperated extensively with the US & NATO. Militarily, much more so than Sweden does.

Sure, and that cooperation is expected to continue. Ongoing partnerships have to like, keep going on right? Voting "no" to block Sweden and/or Finland from joining NATO would stop the ongoing partnership and end many elements of cooperation. Frankly, while Turkey is helpful militarily and strategically, the US can do anything in the world it needs to do with or without Turkey. But the one thing the US (and NATO) can't afford is serious dissension in the ranks, and that won't be tolerated regardless of the cost.

It's similar to me with the Taiwan thing. For some crazy reason people think that the US wouldn't go to war with China to defend Taiwan. For a while, people such as myself even were concerned about the Baltic states - then the US and UK moved thousands of troops there. These alliances and commitments are a big deal, especially when genuine strategic interests are at stake amongst nation states.
> but C can read out-of-memory locations too, so what?

Simply decades of exploitable security issues.
It seems the stated number is inflated by the hand of Elite's to increase the probability of the 'heard' moving back to Twitter.. over-looking Truth Social.. and crashing the one best chance of global free-speech rights surviving in an ever growing communist bound society.

Also, I had no trouble with pairing the 85h with a MacBook, until I did. For example, it doesn't work with Zoom, but works for other things. And, it kept making my MacBook forget it has internal speakers. I documented and submitted about a dozen problems.
I have two cats, a young male (perhaps not coincidentally, a colony rescue?) and a very elderly female. When I let them outside, if I call them to come in, the younger will find the older and herd her to the door. He then vigorously resists coming inside himself. He's also very vocal, and his tone of voice will change depending on whether he's happy to see me and wanting pets or if I'm ruining his stalking and spying or he doesn't want to come inside (the other just ignores me and does whatever she wants).
The difference is there are relatively fewer static html pages. There wont be relatively fewer web2 deployments vs web3. Itll be mostly web2
It's also cumulative. It's only one market for each individual seller, but the buyer is deprived of many sellers.
I think the advantage for simple objects is just that you can refer to the columns directly vs having to go through a function. It's only really a big win if you're manually writing a lot of sql or if you're using something like Rails and you want to write queries against values in the JSON blob without going through a bunch of hoops.

No thanks. Privacy is a human right.
> Web3 should feel no different to the end user than web2

Yes, yes it would feel different. Because every action requires the user to pay.
Since YAML is (almost?) a superset of JSON, you can treat it as "JSON with comments". Then it no longer has significant whitespace and strings won't magically coerce to booleans because the quotes are mandatory in JSON... so if you use YAML that way it's pretty good.

But YAML, as it is "intended" to be written? I think I'd rather have XML as well...
>We have to reimagine everything, I don't think a successful web3 platform will emerge from simply tacking on tokens to existing platforms.

Greenfield projects are easy because they wave away the real complexities of integrating with existing systems. But those existing platforms already provide a lot of tangible value. If you want users, you can't just ignore that.
I really wonder how an HTTP application doesn't suffer from performance hits when it's based on 2000 micro services. Lets say even just 30 of those get used by a call to monzo.com. How does this not cause at least let's say ~300ms delay? I guess all the calls actually come from a local memory cache and there is almost never a real http call made to these microservices. Otherwise I have no idea how microservices are ever viable.
Might be worth it to enforce StrictYaml [1], which fulfills all the major use cases and doesn't include the weirder, more complex features

It depends on your goal. If you want to make a community in which you minimize the number of people who post bad, stupid, or annoying things, you would run it differently than one where you welcome that sort of conversation.
