This blog post doesn't account for an extremely important detail.

Right off the bat it mentions "Fargate is now faster than EC2" but this is not the case for practical usage on pre-sized clusters, at least not on EKS.

As of today you can't avoid a ~30 second hard delay on starting a container on EKS Fargate. It's the time it takes for Amazon to understand you want to run a workload and provide the Fargate driven compute resources into your cluster so it's available to run your workload.

Then on top of that, you will wait however long it takes to download your image from a registry because images aren't cached anywhere.

In practice this usually means 40-60 seconds to just start a container on EKS Fargate, and if you happen to perform jobs before your main app runs such as a database migration it means you're paying this penalty twice (even if your migration is a no-op since it spawns a pod to run the command), so it's really a ~90-120 second delay to start a container every single time you deploy your application, which you need to wait for each replica too.

Compare that to having an EC2 based cluster where you have the resources provisioned ahead of time. Starting your containers will happen as fast as your process will start, there's 0 seconds waiting for the compute resources to be available and since it's just an EC2 node images are saved on disk so you only need to download the diff (often very small for app code changes).

In practice the difference in night and day, I'm so happy we moved away from Fargate to managed EC2 nodes on EKS. Things are SO much faster, everything from being able to develop and test things on EKS to every single release of all of our services.
Geez, I'm on Ukraine's side, but "It's in this document so we have no option but to do it" is not a valid argument. For what reason is it in the constitution, when did it get in, then you can make a substantive argument.

What next, should I write "the bank has to give me $1M" on a piece of paper and show it to the bank teller?
Nice one you did here :)
“It doesn’t make sense…” yes if you are looking through a liberal western lens. You’re not looking from a Putin or Russia point of view. His reasoning for invading Ukraine are much deeper and different than the things that we consider important.

> I actually hate people disavowing themselves of responsibility here.

I believe that everyone should do their own research etc but there's a reason there are laws against fraud. There are a lot of people who would get taken advantage of by the unscrupulous if we just decided that it's all about personal responsibility. Yes people should not have the expectation that they will get rich quick but there is also no reason to allow them to be blatantly ripped off either.

If tether haven't maintained the level of reserves they need to maintain the peg (and honestly I can't see how the possibly could have adequate reserves) then it seems a pretty straightforward case of fraud.
great design
That’s the root of the scam!

One of the big appeals from crypto people is essentially “all money is bullshit, so buy my bullshit”. The even nuttier people would position Bitcoin as gold.
Being a solo dev on some app/website is not really worth it these days. There was a time when you could single-handedly create a million dollar app in some niche. But now the competition has increased so much that you need VC money or atleast a team if you want to create any impact whatsoever.

To me the issue is the supply of tokens is not correlated to the actual underlying supply of goods and services in the economy. Tokens should be minted/burned according to the fundumentals of the underlying economy. Hard to do with a single digital currency as there is a whole economy. But viable with ERC-20's, which can be turned into micro-currencies. The great thing about ERC20 tokens, is you can swap them pretty effortlessly. And on a chain like Avalanche, it's cheap and scalable.
fwiw I totally agree with your other comment on the insanity of CanvasKit. I'm just digging into low-level rendering myself, and immediately thought...wait, so you're writing in Skia, only to be compiled into WASM, feeding into a 2D canvas context, which is rendered by...Skia? tf?

The differences being for large states that it was/is a question of how much you want to spend defending something, rather than how much you have, unless you are under attack by another state. And, for a large state run by rule of law it's not a question of going to 0 as for stable coins, instead it's going down by 20% (worst case).

That numbering makes a lot more sense now.
I don't believe this. A solo developer can create a more focused product, with less features, and still do well for themselves. Once you accept VC money you need to do well for the entire company, and the expectation is to be less niche to meet many users. Just talking very generally.

Most markets are large enough to accommodate several businesses. There's really no reason to stop working on something just because you find that there is already someone solving that same problem. Who knows, they will shut it down at some point, or might head upmarket or pivot to a tangential area.
Where greed comes in is where people dive into a market precisely because it is going up like crazy, which you only know after it goes up like crazy, then when it takes a down turn, hang on too long because they don't want to give up that expensive thing, then finally sell in a panic.

Buying high and selling low is a sure path to being poor.

Open Borders, not prosecuting criminals, that sort of stuff.
Drawing such a line is unfortunately fundamentally incompatible with current western attitudes.

You need to be able to have adult discussions about death and harm that WILL happen at the scales we're talking about. These harms are often easy to calculate. The harms that come from surveillance dragnets are less immediate and harder to calculate. So in addition to be able to have a discussion that we're incapable of having, we also need to have the balls to say "this long term non-specific harm of the surveillance state is worse than a few kids getting abused". We're nowhere near being able to do either of those right now.

Freedom isn't free but the only people who will talk about the cost are extremists of various flavors.
Hmm, wonder how many billions European/NATO-countries/Australia have spent of their own money in an effort to help the US on its somewhat 20 year long misguided war on terror...

That being said, I understand the american feelings about this, as a lot of stuff have had the wrong priorities in the US for a long time, which I would argue is an internal matter and nothing to do with NATO (or its members).

That can sometimes be fixed with "don't walk there" stickers and/or ignored.
You're probably not the first person to ask the question of "but what about parents taking pictures of their naked kids in a pool", I'm sure they plan on having some way of dealing with it if anything to lighten their workload. That doesn't mean it will be perfect but no matter how jaded we all are, nobody wants to start falsely accusing innocent people.
I think the problem stems from the fact we don't see abusers being publicly judged routinely, which gives a feeling that those abusers are very rare, and can't justify massive surveillance mainly because it's inefficient against any behavior not widely spread into the population.
Their selling price is on the blockchain, there is no practical reason why you can't. Valueing them might be a bit tricky though.

It could be those foods help the immune system regulate itself to not cause chronic systemic inflammation but maybe don't stop it from doing localized inflammation for injury and infection?
This is one of those things that sounds right, and I'm inclined to believe, but I've never read any in-depth discussion of it so I'm hesitant as it's sort of confirming my own bias without a ton of concrete evidence.
> There are also some dissidents in the West pushing the opposite narrative - ex-marine, retired intelligence officer, weapons inspector, colonel from a neutral country.

And above all, right-wing kooks, useful idiots, and outright Putler trolls. Quite a few of the people you mention also seem to belong to at least one of these categories.

I think the prevalence and scale of criminal activity through crypto was under appreciated in the mainstream.

Let’s be real, much of the market activity is money laundering, ransomware and other payoffs, and Chinese people bypassing currency controls.

It’s no coincidence that China cracked down on miners and the price dropped a few months ago. It’s plain as day now that with Russia being removed from the internet and most markets, buy-side demand for crypto is sinking.
The speculation in this thread is silly.

While Tether is certainly opaque (you could say shady), it's incredibly doubtful that it's unbacked to a significant extent. Even if it's only backed at 50% (which would be really shocking to me), it would take 39B$ to flow through the system to actually cause a depeg. That's very unlikely, and just the logistics of it means it would leave a lot of time to Tether to clear the air.

Consider that being "nakedly" unbacked (no underlying assets) in any meaningful capacity would qualify Tether's leadership for a quick trip to prison — as they've repeatedly said they were fully backed.

The real risk is them sitting on "commercial paper" (short term debt) that is now worthless or significantly discounted. I still doubt they would have lost more than 50% of reserves this way.

I think it's also interesting that SBF (FTX's founder) is fairly confident in Tether (of UST he said months ago "we know how this ends"). He seems better informed than most, and it seems unlikely to me he'd stake his company (which has extensive dealing with Tether) on a system that cannot be sustained.

I have no chip in this fight, and honestly, I do agree Tether is riskier than alternative, which is why I've never even held it. But UST and Tether are vastly different beasts in term of risk profiles.
I like the analogy/idea, or more precisely find it amusing. But this company doesn't have the necessary liquidity. Plus I am not sure if there can be a real market maker given the transaction volume and volatility of BTC: In the past the daily transaction volume was in the 3 to 8 * 10^9 [billion] US$ range[1], which is massive. And the volatility isn't exactly famously tame either. For comparison, that company self-reports to have moved a mere 92 million in 5 years.

That's like someone with a 500k to 700k portfolio doing 1M worth of transactions in 5 years (should be reasonable?) trying to be market maker for Tesla.

> “Far-right Le Pen”

> “Center-left Macron”

That media / framing is exactly why the election method doesn’t work as well as banning affiliation. Le Pen is not really “far right” by most standards, but media labels her in that position and can get away with it due to name and party recognition.

You can still do both, change the election method and ban affiliation. Probably would be the best of both worlds.
You compare the convenience of a download against having an asset with a few millenia of history in your physical possession (which is not without its own risks) and pick your poison.
That's just like Tether's opinion, man.

It really is competition and market prices that drive the economy... controlled by a few people in suits. And money itself is part of the market.
>nobody wants to start falsely accusing innocent people.

If anything, the 21st century has proven quite a few people are more than willing to do so when they deem the lack of true positives to be the greater evil. Or even just doing it for their own benefit.
That would also open the door to make the new alliance less Europe-centric.
The problem is that the primate of the ECJ over national supreme/constitutional courts is not settled [1]. As far as I understand, it is a fiction where everybody plays along, but an actual conflict can lead to a major constitutional crisis (see for example [2]).

In practice diplomatic solutions are found to avoid direct clashes.

[1] ECJ has of course claimed otherwise, but some national constitutional courts reserve the right to interpret and follow their own constitutions, even when they would lead to diverging from ECJ rulings. In fact they might not have other options.

Even Ukraine said they aren’t interested in fighting for the eastern parts of the country because the local population will likely be hostile and make
their jobs much harder.

They are strictly focusing on preventing any greater expansion than what happened prior to the invasion.

There are arguments that Mariupol and maybe even Kherson have a relatively large pro-Russian population compared to other parts but I still believe they want to protect them regardless since they aren’t nearly as large as the more eastern parts and it blocks access to the Sea of Azov and the Black Sea ports.

Tooll2 – open-source solution for creating interactive 3D content and animations
The Hungarian system is basically two separate elections at once where the results are just added together. There are single-member districts where the candidate that wins the plurality of votes in the district is elected (almost always a Fidesz candidate). Then there are party list elections in larger multi-member districts where the party affiliation of the MPs elected is roughly proportional to the votes to each party in the district. There is no effort in this system to make the final results proportional.

Germany, New Zealand and devolved legislatures of Scotland and Wales use a different sort of system where the party lists are used to achieve proportionality. In a system like that, Fidesz wouldn't get a lot of seats from the party listes because they are way overrepresented already in the single-member districts.
