If by blockchain you mean a hashed linked list or a Merkle Tree; that’s like saying someone could make a great game using a Red-Black Tree or a priority queue.

While technically true it’s not what most people mean when they say that we could build good games on the blockchain. In this context they generally mean using some form of cryptocurrency and smart contract.

I’d say sure, you could potentially figure out a way to make the most amazing AAA game experience to make your mother cry with pride. But if it’s on a smart contract blockchain you already have a problem: nobody is going to play it.

If Axie was on the normal web, no blockchain at all, it would be a lot more popular. People still play Neopets-clones and Pokémon rip-offs online all the time. What’s holding Axie back, besides being an unimaginative and boring design, is the exorbitant costs of playing.

Imagine teaching your non-technical friend how to set up a wallet, store it on a hardware fob, all the opsec necessary to prevent them from losing all of their tokens and coins… and then they have to spend hundreds of dollars to buy their game assets, gas fees for all of the transactions, etc. Terrible UX.

And the more people that play it the slower it gets. Potentially crashing indefinitely under the weight of trying to keep up with the typical load a popular AAA would draw on an actually popular platform like Steam.

But we probably won’t have to worry about that because the pool of crypto users is nothing compared to the size of the Steam/Switch/XBox/PlayStation audience.

A killer app seems highly unlikely.
Thank you for the attention, e-mail on its way.
This is due to the redemption fee. Per se, it’s not an alarming sign.

There are more than enough red flags with Tether already !
Can you buy a new car with all this money?
I'm as cynical about Tether as any sane person, but it's important to disambiguate between value on an exchange and redeemable value. If USDT is $0.90 on every exchange, but you can still redeem 1 USDT for 1 USD from Tether, then it is maintaining its peg. UST's value on an exchange was the peg by design, because it was algorithmic, but that's not true of non-algorithmic stable coins -- i.e: Tether.
The places I’ve seen people plop devices in front of their kids has mostly been places you’d prefer it if kids weren’t running around.
> It's a bit like watching scary or sad movies.

People like sad and scary movies because they can experience powerful emotions in a safe environment. Scary minus being in danger is exciting. It’s not to avoid emotional boredom.
... and why the most popular one (i.e. Tether) would be the sketchiest one?

Stablecoins ought to be exceedingly boring and non-sexy. The key requirement ought to be "obvious, abundant and solid collateral", and nothing else should matter.
excel is fully programmable with vba.
I’m sure in the contract it says they have the right to “delay” redemption. Really is amazing that the crypto world is finally discovering bank runs.

We’re truly living like it’s 1929.
I know that one but that was just speculation, there was no proof that having a variable called NSA_KEY in your code is an automatic proof of a backdoor. Heck, I can prefix all my variables with 'NSA' for the shits.

Backdoors do exist but they're usually disguised as bugs, not so obviously in-your-face like that.
So we've narrowed the threat model to people willing to commit serious felonies to annoy me? I'll take it.
I wonder if it would be possible to have a crystal oscillator be that precise and still be robust enough to survive in a car. This method should work. But, if the system can’t survive the external vibration, temperature changes, and weather, it won’t help a car manufacturer.
Sometimes my kids want to relax too.

They spend a decent amount of the week doing after school clubs/sports - so sometimes they fancy an hour of playing Mariokart or wii sports or something - I prefer that because then we can join in as well.

(Otherwise they love watching Ninjago - which tbf I don't mind that much!)
You may not waste food but you probably produce a lot of packaging waste. At least that’s what I saw in UK and France.

The UK especially produces an astonishing amount of grocery packaging trash compared to the US. I probably produce more food waste in US but I compost so don’t feel too bad about it.

Life is full of trade offs.
Two words: inspection contingency. You can offer a contract to buy a house with or without one.
> https://github.com/rollcat/judo#passing-arguments-to-scripts implies that project is for sure not for me, but I wish you all the best with it!

That's one of the design decisions, there should ideally be only one "obvious" way of achieving a certain goal. Per-invocation parameters can already be passed via environment variables ("-e FOO" to pass from your local environment; "-e BAR=42" to set explicitly); I'm also considering using envdir (or a similar scheme) to set per-host parameters (https://github.com/rollcat/judo/issues/11).

I could allow specifying command line arguments somehow with the -s flag, but that would complicate parsing, quoting/unquoting, etc. I would have to teach the user about quoting rules, and probably shoot myself in the foot at least once in the process. I try to actively avoid creating hard problems by solving an equivalent, easier problem.

If this is not clear from the readme, I'll take this as a bug report, and try to improve the readme :)

It's usually considered a leak if we can't release it.

Arguably you can release the thing you leaked with Box::leak(). Just tell Box you want a new box that's just a thin wrapper for your mutable reference (this is unsafe), then drop the box. But generally the purpose of Box::leak() is to never release the thing inside the box.

So, yes, you could argue semantically about whether this is "really" a leak but in practice that's why it's named Box::leak()

office 365 offers "co-authoring" and easy sharing as well. You're talking about something excel already has.

But working on large files is ridiculously painful. It's just not as as good as a native app. I don't want to give up my ability to work on large files in a performant fashion, which I do all the time, in exchange for collaboration support I do occasionally but a worse overall experience and frustrating lag compared to a native application.
You would usually need to disable DNSSEC, wait 24h, transfer, and then wait for at least 24h before enabling DNSSEC again.
I think they are referring to on premesis GitHub Enterprise Server, which won't work for them because they are using new CPU archs like arm64 which it doesn't run on?

That's my guess but not very clear at all...

I've found that doing that just makes it worse - they both have very strong personalities, so it ends up in war rather than letting me cook for 10 mins!

I don't know enough about crypto to understand what it means that the team is working to restore the peg. Unless something is literally 100% collateralized by the thing it is pegged to, what code changes are there in the world that can legitimately maintain that peg under all conditions?
Limiting both is a good policy, but understanding the different games is also an important aspect here. When my kids were in elementary school I encouraged them to play Minecraft and I played with them. I didn't prevent them from playing Clash of Clans because so many of their friends were playing, but I made sure they understood how incentives were structured and how the game was designed around that.

That was ten years ago, and I still don't know if I struck the right balance. Parenting is hard. If you have young kids today it's a good idea to understand what games are popular and what their business models are.

Wikipedia tends to be pretty high-level, i.e. focus more on people, events, general principles, high-level summaries of how things are and their history. But in case of a societal collapse, wouldn't that be kinda useless? Not sure what specific pieces of literature you'd want to have on your emergency hand crank emp-shielded Kindle, but I'd expect more hands-on material would be preferable, i.e. material that tells you how to make and do certain practical things and the right technique and relevant caveats.
Wonder if I can get my employer to foot the bill for this as an ergonomic necessity through OSHA.
You have to be able to support “dumb” key fobs/RFID cards as well as phones.

I doubt Tesla would want to include a motion sensor on the dumb card that fits in a wallet.
People talk about these "wondrous" effects of fasting. All I got was headaches, tiredness, feeling sick and constantly thinking about food. I lasted 5-6 days, tried to keep my electrolyte intake as well as I could, and it was miserable. I managed to eat very little (like 500-600kcal) on day 6 and really gorged myself on day 7 despite knowing about refeeding syndrome, I just couldn't help it. That was during my prime as well, I woudn't try it again now. Maybe it does indeed work for some people due to metabolism disorders or something, but it really didn't for me. And for god's sake don't do 10-15-20 day fasts without medical supervision.
For b) you can get around that by creating wrapped versions of a more trusted stablecoin.

They weren't wrong.
I think the overall impact of crypto is 30-35% of their business.
coinmarketcap.com says there are 7.46 billion DEI coins out there => a 'market cap' of about $4.4B, yet coingecko.com says there are only 89 million coins (implying $52M) - that's a huge difference. Which one is right?

FWIW, there doesn't appear to be any 'real world' exchange that handles DEI.

Holy cow, how is that possible?! In my European country staff level goes up to 85K. That's insane.

Most Linux distributions today are large, fragmented, file systems/config files/apps not as coherent as they once was.

The BSD’s are purists. Strong consistency on the file system/configs, strong design principles on keeping things simple.

I only recently tried BSD’s after being a long term Linux user. I don’t use them on the Desktop, so can’t comment about that. On headless servers, after the initial getting familiar period, I find them a joy to work with taking me back to when I first tried Linux using Slackware.
In my observation, the platform matters. The iPad has a noticeable negative impact on my kids mood in ~15 minutes, and I’ve observed similar behavior with other tablets and other kids.

The PlayStation doesn’t seem to do that, although my son gets in trouble more often when it’s time to end because there is a higher level of effort to get out. But it doesn’t seem to zombify him.
Not always an option, depending on where you live.

Really opinionated and ideological. Be sure it's what you really want before you commit. Drew writes great code but he's very philosophical about his projects.
The people who believe Musk is being a bullshitter are still in the running for being “mostly right” in this situation.

A few years ago, Musk got emotional and publicly accused one of his critics of being a “pedo”. He doubled down on this lie when goaded on Twitter. And when he realized he had to have some kind of evidence, he in desperation paid $52,000 to a private investigator to dig up anything on his “pedo” critic. The PI turned out to be a scammer and convicted felon: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/ryanmac/elon-musk-hired...

There’s little reason to believe that Musk is a grand genius with plans too smart for the common mind to grasp, rather than just another all-too fallible human.
When I read "working to restore the peg" I read either "frantically looking for a bailout" or "frantically looking for a way to turn this into a rug pull".
Well, I think it's time to start outsmarting.

If we continue down this path, were going to run against a wall
> what code changes are there in the world that can legitimately maintain that peg

None. But I guess it sounds good to pretend to be doing something useful!
Thanks, I'll take a look at both.
Maybe a stupid question but I've been brushing up on my calculus in preparation to go back to school for physics.

Is this equivalent to the tangent to the equation at the root? I mean, obviously with exponents higher than 2 you get polynomials not lines, but the given derivation involves just taking the derivative so shouldn't that work? If so, this massively simplifies a bunch of the practice problems I'm doing right now. I should probably just try to prove it
It's not a stablecoin if it doesn't have a fully audited 1:1 reserve. There aren't any of those, so the first one will be the only one.

"stablecoin loses peg" is an absolute proof that it wasn't a stablecoin any more than tranches of CDOs made high-quality bonds out of junk.
Thanks for the info, I'll keep it in mind for eventual future transfers. But shouldn't I be able to disable DNSSEC regardless, instead of the domain being stuck in limbo and hijacked by what appears to be a deadlock type of bug?
"Regular People" might find they have to do things they previously wouldn't - like wearing seatbelts.

Reinfection is now understood to be common - after all, Omicron is spreading rapidly though a population that is not only vaccinated, but also largely already had Covid.

Be aware, almost nobody stands to gain from making Covid seem worse than it is, but many many powerful people stand to lose from public health interventions to prevent Covid, so gain from downplaying the problem. I wonder which Peter Attia is? "As his residency drew to a close, Attia joined the consulting firm McKinsey & Company in the Palo Alto office as a member of the Corporate Risk Practice and Healthcare Practice."
I consider anxiety a low-level biological problem. It should have a biological fix.

Trying to fix fundamental problem with self-reflection and psychbabble misses the point and tragically wastes years upon years.
I don't think it was a mistake. It just wasn't deep enough because it wasn't given enough time. 20-30 years is nothing.
As you say, there’s reason to be very skeptical of their collateral. We know 9% of market cap has been paid out in a matter of days. If they were only, say, 10% collateralized by liquid assets, then they would be on the edge of collapse right now. That may be pessimistic but we can’t know because they don’t provide audited reports.
Has Binance "gone down for maintenance" yet?

I was going through something similar and took me a while to recognize it was anxiety. It's good that you have recognized it so early.

When nothing seemed to work, I tried Zembrin as an OTC experiment if it was "just chemistry". It really worked for me, takes a few weeks to work, and it wasn't anything obvious - in fact I didn't think it was working until I forgot to take it for a few days and felt anxiety creeping back in. It got me into the right headspace to tackle the overwhelming amount of stuff life was throwing at me without having to take any more serious drugs which I try to avoid. YMMV and I would completely exhaust all non-chemical options before trying it, and if it doesn't work I'd seek professional help (specifically cognitive behavioural therapy - which you can try without professional guidance too but need a deep understanding of to do)

In the meantime, these observations have helped me in the past:

A) Nobody really cares if you fail, those who love you will still love you if you fail. Everyone is more self-absorbed than it feels. People care when you succeed.

B) Some amount of stress is benefical - don't think you have to eliminate it. Think of it like blood pressure - no pressure and no blood moves through your body and stagnates - too much pressure and your veins will burst - just the right amount of stress keeps you strong and moving. Comfort kills - but so does TOO MUCH stress. There's a sweet spot that's just beyond your comfort zone.

C) Keep a TODO list - be it GTD or whatever. Having everything on paper for me is very calming, otherwise if you have more things to do than your working memory can handle (IE 7-10 things), in other words if you have a pulse in 2021, then it will feel overwhelming because it's literally beyond your minds ability to keep track of.

[edit: removed one observation that wasn't related to OPs situation]
Shorter list would be “solved problems in economics”. And how many economists pretend that expanding the money supply doesn’t increase inflation?
As much as you living in a steel reinforced concrete house.
Math might not be the problem, but it doesn't appear to be the solution either ;)
> We can outsmart, and have repeatedly outsmarted, all sorts of potential disasters.

We are so smart it took us two hundred years to realise we are creating a disaster ourselves, and we still can't figure out how to stop it. Because we are so smart we keep outsmarting ourselves. Or our greed does, I'm not sure.
Article author here. Basically we forked the latest Prometheus and embedded the golang OpenZiti SDK into the server to allow listening and dialing over the overlay network.

Find that code at https://github.com/openziti-test-kitchen/prometheus/tree/fea.... It's not a lot of code that I had to add to make this happen. Happy to answer questions on how that sdk works if there's interest.
I'm in the process of migrating my projects to GitLab myself, away from GitHub. It was a good excuse to consolidate projects and delete some stuff that is unlikely to be of use to me.

GitHub does seem a bit simpler to use in my mind. My needs are simple, though.
Just like everyone KNEW/predicted he wasn't going to get or want a board seat after he bought 9%. Just like everyone KNEW/predicted he was going for a hostile takeover. Just like everyone KNEW/predicted that he wasn't going to be able to raise funds.

With all sorts of projection and rambling and confidence. It's so weird.
This is an enormous stretch. Binning mostly allows manufacturers to avoid having to throw away ICs with certain defects, selling them instead as a different SKU (fewer cores, lower clock, worse power consumption etc).

I think Intel abused this at least once, back in the days when they had ridiculously good yields across the board, but let's not generalize in absence of evidence.
Great. Would love to hear more about your impression and the comparison to Okta. Okta is for sure very mature. Some users who switched liked the fact that you can run ZTIADEL on any infrastructure (self-hosting) as well as the self-service in B2B scenarios (which is ticket-ops when doing it with Okta, apparently). Hope this helps.
'Wrapping' a coin implies trusting some other person to not run away with them.
I've rented a VW E-Up once that was pretty low tech despite being fully electric. Physical key that has to be inserted next to the steering wheel to start the car (but can lock/unlock the doors like a normal fob), classic car radio without touch screen, minimalist dashboard buttons. To start the car, you even have to turn the key farther just like you would on a classical ignition. I think it's designed for people who are used to combustion engines.

According to the dashboard, it's range should be about 500km. It is quite small however.
I don't fully trust my Model 3 with the 'walk away' bluetooth lock.

However I do trust the 'pin to drive' (which randomly changes location on screen to foil fingerprints). And sentry mode is a new bonus, not that it has any real utility beyond a small scare for anyone getting too close.

There is only so far I'm willing to go for security before securing the item becomes worse than the joy of owning the item. Wheel locks, physical keys, barbed wire perimeter? No thanks.

If someone wants to load the car up on a flat bed truck inside of a faraday cage, they've put in the effort, enjoy the car.
I'm not saying that economic development isn't possible with fiat currency. What I'm saying is that fiat currency is immoral; it's a form of slavery. It disincentivizes people from saving and taking responsibility, and accelerates consumption and throwaway culture. Because of this, people are overworked and the climate and the planet suffers. Meanwhile, wealth is siphoned to the elite.

If people are denied the use of gold as money, then they can't. There are many regions, where citizens are basically prisoned by their central bank, and can't use gold or US dollars.

Also, Switzerland used gold backed currency until 1999, and they are one of the richest countries per capita. There's no reason to believe that they would have done better with a fiat currency.

Disagree. We are now entering a long period of depression.
IMO it's different for various types of softwares. I prefer my games closed-source and untamperable (by me). I prefer my operating systems open and scrutinized (althou I do have a gaming PC at home with Win10, I guess it's derivative of the closed-for-games-open-for-work thing). I can't work with the web systems I do without having access to the source. I don't care really what other people really do but I can't understand how the superior tech hasn't won out in the OS wars. I think Unix eventually will be the de-facto OS but it might take decades or centuries.
