Second this. I believe the real benefit comes from being able to exercise the extensors instead of the flexors, which helps with remedying an imbalance in tendon strength that leads to tendonitis.
Offering my own experiences as a counterpoint:

1. If the idea is any good, you‘ll quickly encounter others who are better funded and need to execute extremely well. „Build it and they will come“ has worked for the tiniest minority or orgs I‘ve worked with and for, it certainly hasn‘t for us.

2. If your original idea is well researched and partially proven or already sold before building, why pivot? We didn‘t regret to sink a tenth of our initial invest into a great domain and brand.

3. True that. If you can‘t put your business model into a one sentence elevator pitch that includes a real-world problem and its solution that someone will actually pay for, din‘t even start…

> simply not conducive to modern living [...] kitchens closed off from the rest of the house

I still cannot understand that trend, to be honest. Cooking generates smells, sometimes greasy fumes, and especially in summer unwanted heat, and I don't see why I need to purposely dump all those throughout the rest of the house.
It would be a serious problem for NATO if a pro-Russian Hungary could basically act as a fifth column and cripple NATO by vetoing everything. There simply has to be a process to kick out insincere members.
> If the idea / product is any good, it'll probably catch on quickly and sales will be easy.

I would respectfully disagree with this.

There are a few startups (e.g. Facebook), whose market timing is so perfect, that it's a sure-fire hit from the start.

But I have known so many companies that had founders struggling to make sales, as their timing was off. Then some market shift occurs, and what once was hard becomes easy.

COVID is a great example of something which induces a seismic shift everywhere. Remote work companies for example, would have suddenly found sales an order of magnitude easier.
I clicked through to the store thinking "Come on TE, what pricepoint have you set this time", and it's $2,000. Two grand. I chuckled, and closed the tab.
> I don't understand how you bodge a stable coin startup.

You're assuming "bodging" wasn't part of the plan all along
Apparently you have to bring a minimum of $100K of USDT to get it redeemed into real money.

I would say this is an incredibly stupid trade to try because you're relying on Tether actually paying out as promised.
Do you have a single fact to back up your accusation of CIA meddling with NATO membership?

The truth is, that countries want to join NATO so that Russia does not invade them. That's the sole reason.
I wonder if in current climate this could be prosecuted as a market manipulation of sorts. Things were different back then though.
> The West would tolerate invasion by Russia of Finland even less than it is doing for Ukraine, with or without NATO membership (notably, Ukraine is not part of NATO either).

That's not saying much. Ukraine isn't receiving military support from NATO countries. It only gets weapons, and western politicians (mostly US) keep making sure that they do not get the big guns (regarding e.g. airplanes). Initially Germany blocked Estonia from giving weapons to Ukraine, and English airplanes carrying weapons for Ukraine had to make a detour not to cross German airspace. If Ukraine was a NATO state, none of that could happen, even with some politicians being cozy with Russia, as was evident now.
Completely disagree with 1 and 3.

Attention is scarce and there are already lots of good alternatives for almost any product idea. You better be good at sales and marketing if you want to cut thru the noise. A good product is not good enough.

Most startups don’t need press - unless you are asocial media app, chances are customers won’t pay simply because TechCrunch or CNN mentions you. They pay to get their problems solved.
> And I understand NVIDIA is even worse re: GPU virtualization.

Nope, it’s much better on the nvidia side actually. The latest AMD GPU with a publicly accessible OSS GIM driver is the AMD S7150, which was released in 2016. (https://github.com/GPUOpen-LibrariesAndSDKs/MxGPU-Virtualiza...)

And it’s locked out from most AMD SKUs today, so even if you got a modern GIM driver, you’ll need very special SKUs to enable it and use virtual GPUs.

> The good news is that I understand this support is actually good on the Intel side

Not anymore. GVT-g is gone on Ice Lake (Intel 10th generation mobile, 11th gen desktop) so that you can no longer do hardware vGPU on newer Intel parts at all.

Sad thing is that what you said used to be true.

Meanwhile NVIDIA GRID needs licensing fees but actually works, with high end GPU options being available. And has all the fancy stuff like vGPU live migration for seamless maintenance too. It doesn’t even compare.

I do care, because I find it interesting, while I am sceptical if they are really capable of doing everything that they say, I still find it very interesting, which is why I always watch the entire full version of the event.

I know that in the past five years or so it has become very hip and cool to hate on Google and other bigger-then-some-countries companies, but I still try to be positive and thus focus on the positive.

While the negative does have its function, it is best to avoid it unless it's requested, same goes for hobbies, if someone asks you what you think about their hobby or the thing that they're working on, just be positive and give negative side only if they asked for it, because in many cases just giving people the negative or even just asking what's the point can have a really negative effect on them and their hobby, even if that wasn't what you intended to do.

It is true that human experience comes from inside, but we're all vulnerable some times.
I've always considered the EINTR example in that article to be a bad one (although I think I agree with the article in general). Having blocking syscalls interrupted in case of an asynchonous signal is the right thing, because it allows the program to act on the signal. Think for example of a terminal user pressing Ctrl+C to interrupt blocking I/O to return to the shell prompt.

The problem is that this does't go far enough - decades ago machines were running on a single CPU and OSes were focused on the scheduling of processes. Syscalls were all blocking, so for each individual process there could only ever be one syscall ("request") in flight at a time. Now, we're seeing a change (for example with io_uring) towards fully asynchronous I/O exposed to the userland, which allows submitting multiple requests to various I/O devices simultaneously, which has the potential to improve throughput a lot.

This is a form of propaganda because, obviously, this is filtered, vetted, and done for a reason. It's just that they are using 'state of the art' methods and channels, a 'cool' Twitter thread in this case.
The number of people saying with strong conviction that they will pay for your product/service doesn't necessarily correlate to the number of people who will actually pay for it, and can be different by orders of magnitude.
Oh I wasn't advocating it. I just wanted to show the hypocrisy in these "stop business with Russia, it's run by a despot" kind of arguments. They apply to so many countries the western world continues to do business with.

It is all political at this point. Python is run by representatives of big corporations, some of whom haven't really done anything in the past 10 years but are who great at promoting their personal brands.

They are trying to strengthen corporate influence and discourage any power of traditional independent open source developers (who have contributed most of the useful features as opposed to corporate churn).

We do not know what is going on in the background, it is proxy wars all over the place. It is possible that they want to reduce Facebook influence, that their code bases do not need this feature, etc.

Just use C++.

Fair point.

> I don't see how a url (over tls) exposes more information unless tls is MiTM'd.

What is not sent cannot be hacked. I was not suggesting an explicit security feature, rather a state of things.

> That's a property of the url itself, and not unique to the hash-fragment, per se?

Yes, but it makes for a nice combo with the previous point, as the URL now contains 2 things: the Locator itself that your peer and the server will access and (resp.) serve, plus the context that only your peer will have access to.
A mantra that actually helps to ship: "good enough" is better than perfection.
> Rather than creating a crypto wallet, an artist can create a PGP key pair. A PGP key pair consists of two pieces: the public key and the private key. The public key is not unlike a cryptocurrency wallet address, in that it can be freely shared and used to verify data actually came from the person with that key. The private key is not unlike a cryptocurrency seed phrase, in that it must be carefully secured, because access to the private key would allow anyone to sign a transaction as though they were the true holder of that key.

We tried that already and Keybase failed to take off with the masses? And look who's still talking about PGP (and its tools) which that is also a total usability failure for 31 years.

In principle, there's no reason someone like Revolut can't just offer virtual (but backed by segregated client assets) accounts with "real" USD to people living in those countries.

It may be a compliance issue, of course. If you want to stay on the good side of the US Treasury, compliance could be expensive, especially in certain countries.

But the basic premise here is that USDT's risk premium is worth it as the cost of avoiding compliance, which, sure, I guess.
> If I were living in Finland, I'd feel safer (against external aggression) if the country was in NATO than if it wasn't

Finland might feel safer once they're in NATO.

The rest of NATO (and non-NATO states in Western Europe), perhaps not quite so much. Surely the risk of NATO being involved in any conflict only increases as NATO grows?
This is definitely nonobvious and also consoling to someone that is a perfectionist
If that's the case, why does the border need "expensive patrolling" (which is already done by Finland anyway)?
I was just about to sell my OP-1 too, there goes the resale price.
> Either they stop this now or it's all over anyway. This is reckless - we need to start a path of de-escalation - give Putin an offramp. Get to back to calm waters.

Putin has demonstrated again and again that he will interpret any de-escalating, sensible political moves as weakness. Any attempt at appeasement or compromise will be seen by him as an invitation to dare the next aggressive step.
How old are you to have spent more on digital than physical? Do you not buy furniture or tech?

Name-calling putin doesn't change anything, but takes one tool out of your toolbox.
>Translation: During the spring, there has been an important discussion about Finland's possible NATO membership

This is a very generous description of what happened.

There has been air of forced consensus in the "discussion" between media, politicians and people on social media. People have been branded as "putinist" or "playing into Putin's hand" for merely suggesting that the decision shouldn't be rushed, and that there needs to be thorough analysis before making a decision.

Media hasn't covered Nato's history as an aggressive force, or the war profiteering. The "risks of Nato membership" have been reduced to a framing of "what will Russia do during the application process", which implies that Finland is going to join Nato anyway.

There have been a few critical voices interviewed in the media, mainly Anna Kontula. The response to this has been between "I see your points, but I don't agree with your conclusions" to "you are playing into Putin's hands" to nitpicking and taking her statements out of context in order to get a "gotcha" on her. Not any real engagement or discussion on the arguments.

Whether you agree with Finland joining Nato or not, I think there are good arguments to be made on either side. But to say that there has been any real discussion is a stretch at best. This process was rushed.
If you live in a country with an unstable currency but without strong capital controls, the upside can be had by holding dollars. And that comes without the risk that your known-to-be-a-bit-dodgy nearly-dollar collapses.

Yes they do. But for reasons other than that. They also typically have extremely poor risk management (or are completely oblivious to it), and more importantly, they are buying a financial instrument they don’t even understand.

RealLifeLore has an excellent analysis of the reasons for Russia's invasion [1], including the military motivations. I highly recommend watching it. In particular the reasoning around gas and oil reserves in the Black Sea have not been given the due attention in the media IMO. He doesn't talk about Finland, but I would imagine the fact that it would broaden the front for a land-based invasion is what motivates Russia's opposition. That and generally having gotten away with being a bully and getting what you want for so long.

Probably you haven't checked the abusive pricing at WooComemrce.com! You need a paid plugin for almost everything - like product brands and extensions to their "free" Storefront theme - to implement basic functionality like blog support, payment methods, subscriptions, membership, etc. Plus, all this is considering your time being worth $0/hr, which is not the case even in the world's poorest country! All the headaches, the expensive hosting you need (you can't run WooCommerce on a cheap server), the maintenance, etc. - WooCommerce has become one of the most costly platforms. In addition, when you have to do something yourself, you are faced with the lack of the documentation and using the tables designed for posts to be abused for all kinds of other stuff - you can really use SQL, but you need to use PHP code to even do basic DB queries!

When I read that I thought OP was being sarcastic, but sadly from the rest of the message he isn't
The issue with kicking out members is that it starts a precedent. The idea is that NATO got your back if you're in, you won't get kicked out if your membership starts being inconvenient, and that the other members will act when Article 5 is invoked.
That's the thing though. The utility is what informs the perceived long-term value. It isn't meant to be an investment, it is meant to be a currency. Beanie Babies weren't a currency or an investment, they were a toy.
"Easy" to do if you are willing to put up with macros:

https://github.com/gpderetta/libtask/blob/master/tests/q_test.cpp#L160

Note the macro is $, tup is just a C++ function.
It doesn't handle your .bar case, but would be very easy to extend tup to handle initializer lists.

(No, I do not use it in production, it is mostly a fun curiosity, but yes, I wish lightweight named tuples were part of the language).
One of the issues of allowing more and more people into NATO, is that potential for fracturing of the alliance increases.

Especially, the original core alliance was very aligned after WWII, politically. However as NATO expands east, the potential for issues down the road grows.

Look at the Ukraine. Let's imagine that this horrible war never happened, Russia never attacked, and that the Ukraine would join NATO in 2023.

Now fast forward to 2030. Russian political games, and influence, has caused the Ukraine to become more aligned with Russia.

What then? Now, the alliance has a detractor of its goals within!

And what of other geopolitical issues? Who will be China's best friend, in 2030?

With the alliance at its original members, it was more tightly aligned.

Now? NATO is becoming far more political.

Perhaps this is apparent to many, but I feel this is not as apparent as it should be. For as NATO becomes stronger physically, with more members, it becomes less strong politically/actively.

An example. If someone attacked Canada or the UK, the original NATO members would have responded instantly.

What about Croatia? Would the response be the same?
For the same money it would be possible to buy the full version of a DAW of your choice, Kontakt, Arturia V-Collection and a PC to run them all on. I'm sure the OP-1 is fun, but I doubt it's £2,000 worth of fun.
Stranger things have happened in the last five years, but I don't think Orban will be stupid enough to act so openly to Russia's benefit. Plausible deniability seems to be the game so far.
I remember buying the first OP-1 when it came out for something around $700 and even then thought "wow, this is a stretch". Since then they _raised_ the price of the original north of $1k. Don't get me wrong, TE makes incredible stuff and the OP-1 is no exception, but the price point just doesn't make sense unless you have serious money to burn. I had the same reaction to you after seeing the price for the mk2. At least, like a lot of synths, they hold their value?
Thanks, that makes more sense. I'm not a full time developer just an amateur programmer, I'm currently teaching myself web development (I decided to go vanilla JavaScript no frameworks) but I make extensive use of pandoc and markdown/Zim-Wiki for academic writing, I thought this was something like that.
You're arguing that it would be sensible to have, and therefore they have it? But not every entity has been created with perfect foresight.

I don't know if there is a larger issue because this show stopping "outlier" has stopped me from exploring Flutter any further. I'll give it another try now that a new major version has been released.

All extensions have annual pricing, and WooCommerce requires expensive hosting, so Shopify is definitely cheaper and more convenient if you use their merchant service and their credit card reader, which is integrated into their inventory tracking (the WooCommerce inventory tracking is a joke, and it only kind of works if you use Square).
I hope my country, Poland, could find a way to abate russian fools, that seemingly have their prime time now here.

And yes - I write russia with small letter because I don't see their _state_ representing the country anymore, but it is more like criminal organization now.

It's vital for Russia to put the start of WW2 in 1941, because if they put it in 1939, like everybody else, then the USSR would have been just as much the aggressor as Nazi Germany, with invasions of Poland and Finland in 1939, and the Baltic states in 1940. Fortunately for them, at the time the West didn't care enough about Poland and the Baltics, and somehow cared more about the German invasion of Poland than the Russian one. But now they do care about Ukraine.

Russia made the best move to get Finland and Sweden to join NATO. Did NATO hire Putin?

It almost seems like some sort of reverse psychology thing… Russia saying "We forbid you to join NATO" is one of few things that would get these countries to join NATO. "Don't tell us what to do!"

What is Putin's play?
Knowing the price of a thing is how markets work. If I want to buy tomatoes and a friend tells me a shop down the road has them on special offer, that's not collusion.We're not artificially suppressing the price of tomatoes. Anyway companies already know this by just offering a given salary and seeing if they get decent applicants. If they're not getting enough good applicant, they just raise the offer if they think it's appropriate. Having said that the habit of companies suppressing info about salaries between employees should be fought.
