These so-called 'stablecoins' are bound to end badly, frankly. It's the same story repeating itself again and again, just need to wait long enough for a new generation to come of age and think that past history does not apply to them.
It like https. A lot of people in the past viewed HTTPS as a terrible idea that just broke things, and every example where someone had their website go down because of broken certificates or mixed content was proof that https as a concept was broken. Usually people brought up x.509 or revocation lists as the definitive proof that https would never be common.
More like the SEC lacked evidence that this was intentional.

Hardly. It just hadn't on gone long enough and far enough. I'd say that the entire cause of the war is just that- that the interests of the two sets of elites didn't line up yet. They eventually would have because ownership would have become much more distributed as always happens as a result of neoliberalism.

The only program I let my kids use is KidPix on the iPad. It's a (rather remarkable) drawing and animation program and I'm constantly amazed at what they make with it. And sometimes horrified. But the 5 yo enjoys creating scenes with sound effects (that she recorded) and animation (that she also recorded), while the 3 yo enjoys making intricate drawings and then methodically coloring everything green. It's his favorite color, and he enjoys this. Not affiliated at all, but KidPix is a great piece of software, and I wouldn't have known about it except it was on a public library computer.

My point is there is (at least) another important category of program that the researchers missed: creator software. I've also made simple songs with them with garage band, but the UI is still rather difficult for them to use it on their own. I was inspired to take this approach because my first introduction to computers was Logo on an Apple IIe, and Seymore Papert's beautiful work left a lasting impression.

IANAL (but spend a lot more time than I would prefer writing and reviewing contracts)...but I don't think your proposal would work in the US. I believe your additional 'document' would have to be structured as an addendum, which in itself is a sort of contract and technically free-standing from the main/original document. But in this case the original contract wouldn't be valid, because it wouldn't have any specific terms relevant to an agreement between parties, and AFAIK you can't render an invalid or unenforceable contract valid through addendum.

What you're proposing also bucks 100+ years of legal writing tradition (both in US and Europe), which itself is very poorly received by attorneys and judges.
No; there's been many tests. The mistake seems to come from thinking GPUs "wear out" like cars. The cooler might, but the silicon is fine.

Some even suspect that crypto mining is better for the card than gaming as it avoids the constant ramp-up/ramp-down of the clock/activity by keeping it pegged at 100%. In turn, that would lower thermal stress.
> That's mostly failure to use C++.

Isn't this the no true Scotsman fallacy? It looks like you're agreeing with the parent poster that a lot of people use a small subset of C++ to pretend that it's C with extras. If this is true, it's not a failure of all these people because they don't _really_ understand C++. It's a failure of the language designers because they have made something that nobody can agree on how to use.

For most males it should be possible to get enough calories and nutrients from just one meal, but I would not say easy. It is far easier with two meals, or maybe a time window of 4 hours.

It's probably also better to ease into it. So start with an 8 hour eating window and slowly decrease the window.

Getting enough calories and nutrients can be a challenge and is far from easy with the "standard western diet". I would really recommend seeking advice from a professional.

> if it survives EMP and your smartphone obviously doesn't

Wouldn't it be much easier to shield a smartphone? Those are much more compact after all. You can buy foil-lined pouches that are intended for preventing mobile devices from connecting to the network that might work against an EMP as well – at least as well as the device from TFA, which from the picture appears to have a rather large gap where both halves connect.
What makes central bank currencies special is that institutions like the Fed can "mint" or "burn" dollars whenever they please to maintain the "peg". In reality they're targeting a 2% floating rate of inflation, and the "minting" is done by making loans to banks that are motivated by economic stability instead of profit. Crypto stable coins don't have this luxury because this mechanism is founded upon trust in the central bank's governance and the underlying government.
From a site reliability perspective HTTPS is still broken. Some 15yo OS can't access any site because it doesn't have the certificates or cipher suites. And as you mentioned we need to update certs, webservers and DNS all the time to keep up to date. We only put up with it because it protects users from from snoopers. But that means we live in an inadequate equilibrium. If we abolished mass surveillance rather than impeding it with technical measures then we wouldn't need encryption for read-only sites, we could have our cake and eat it too.

Except in this case we're talking about your child, towards whom you have legal obligations that you would not have towards anybody else. It's legal to let the homeless man down the street starve to death, but it's not legal to let your child starve to death.

So the only situation in which it wouldn't be murder is if you don't consider the fetus to be a real human yet, which is a very difficult question to answer.

Sandboxie is pretty great. This is how I've managed to multibox Elite: Dangerous ever since Frontier changed how they issue game keys in 2019. I can have multiple versions of Steam and multiple versions of the game running side by side. The only thing that can get a little wonky is the Steam Controller, with both the desktop and game-specific bindings getting activated simultaneously in some cases.

I would never use it for security-sensitive process isolation, like malware analysis. It's safer to use a dedicated computer or virtual machine for that sort of thing. But for gaming? chef's kiss

I had a problem with a similar effect some time ago but I run my own DNS (no Cloudflare). I accidentally clicked a button in my control panel to regenerate the zone keys, which means the published keys mismatched the new zone signature for a couple of days until I was able to get the registrar to update them and everything propagated (even when a registrar supports the .eu TLD they are usually severely lacking in automation). The control panel devs have since added a confirmation dialog!
The Naming of Cats
T. S. Eliot - 1888-1965

The Naming of Cats is a difficult matter,

It isn’t just one of your holiday games;

You may think at first I’m as mad as a hatter

When I tell you, a cat must have THREE DIFFERENT NAMES.

First of all, there’s the name that the family use daily,

Such as Peter, Augustus, Alonzo, or James,

Such as Victor or Jonathan, George or Bill Bailey—

All of them sensible everyday names.

There are fancier names if you think they sound sweeter,

Some for the gentlemen, some for the dames:

Such as Plato, Admetus, Electra, Demeter—

But all of them sensible everyday names,

But I tell you, a cat needs a name that’s particular,

A name that’s peculiar, and more dignified,

Else how can he keep up his tail perpendicular,

Or spread out his whiskers, or cherish his pride?

Of names of this kind, I can give you a quorum,

Such as Munkustrap, Quaxo, or Coricopat,

Such as Bombalurina, or else Jellylorum—

Names that never belong to more than one cat.

But above and beyond there’s still one name left over,

And that is the name that you never will guess;

The name that no human research can discover—

But THE CAT HIMSELF KNOWS, and will never confess.

When you notice a cat in profound meditation,

The reason, I tell you, is always the same:

His mind is engaged in a rapt contemplation

Of the thought, of the thought, of the thought of his name:

His ineffable effable

Effanineffable

Deep and inscrutable singular name.
This is interesting, but... how does one deploy this in a container without k8s (using Docker)?

Keycloak is big and complicated, but at least it's easy to hide all the complexity behind Docker. Other than configuring the database, one could treat it as an opaque blob.

Authentik is big and complicated and modular, so the complexity is apparent in the `docker-compose.yml`.
> You can offer to buy a house knowing full well there are going to be problems which will show up in the surveyor's report. You can then adjust your offer accordingly.

I think you mean home inspector, not surveyor?

Problems:

1) The home inspection contingency has to be in the offer.

2) The buyer has to hire a professional, independent home inspector. You can't just send in anyone and make up stuff.

3) The seller has the opportunity to remedy any problems that arise in the inspection report. So in this case, by analogy, Twitter could do a mass purge of accounts under looser criteria than usual, taking out a bunch of spammers and likely a bunch of innocent accounts at the same time. Then the deal would still have to go through at the original price.

In home buying, I've never heard of anyone taking this strategy you're suggesting. It would be reckless and probably not work as you hoped. Once an offer is accepted by the seller, it's very hard to get out. If you suspect there are significant problems with the house that need repair, and the seller knows there are significant problems, it would be extremely extremely dumb to make a higher offer than you'd pay, hoping the home inspection will save you.
Stablecoins will all collapse eventually, and then take down all but a few of the cryto currencies.

To my understanding (I am not a crypto expert, just a casual observer) Stablecoins basically collateralize a certain percentage of the outstanding coin in order to provide the "peg"... so maybe 1:10 coins is backed by USD, Btc, real estate, or whatever... and then the exchange rate is set and as long as everyone plays along, it works. If an actor starts redeeming a significant percentage of coin for collateral, then there is less and less collateral to prop up the coin. Same effect if that collateral loses value.

It is also my opinion that most crypto "has value" only because it is relatively liquid and can be "cashed out" to USD via an exchange or stablecoin. When people start to recognize the stablecoin scam, the price of all crypto will collapse because the liquidity and USD exchange will disappear in an instant.

edit: same thing happened with the USD when it lost the gold backing (and too much redemption led to the decoupling, not enough collateral). In the crypto world, I would say that BTC is the gold equivalent that provides the collateral and legitimacy, so maybe a temporary panic will provide a good BTC buying opportunity? We will see.

Thanks to JIT and JIS, just-in-sequence the 200 non-heated once actually are cheaper. They cannot be sold as Seats as a service, nor can they be re-sold with heated seats after their leasing period ended. So all the SaaS model has to do is geberating enough profit to off set the higher cost of heated seats installed but not paid for. After that the re-sale value, for BMW, is higher and this whole stunt is a net positive for BMW.
How wonderfully optimistic. Unfortunately, such a belief is built on an assumption divorced from how decisions get made and structural advantages (and disadvantages) not equally shared by groups.

I'd argue most believe that men and women are generally equal in terms of skills and potential given similar circumstances, but recognize that society does not afford them equal opportunity regardless of merit. This operates for more than just gender, of course.

> Overzealous (or compelled) decomposition into 5-line chunks over tens of files. Pointless renaming, re-exporting and encapsulation. Higher-order code golf. All this done to a finished non-extensible project makes no sense and makes it harder to read, for no reason.

Exactly.

For decades, people were told this is the way to go, and would somehow, almost magically, make code readable, maintainable, reusable. The result is the exact opposite, a gigantic pile of needless abstractions and spread-out functionality, most of which exist solely to satisfy some paradigms.
> I tried my hand at tiling WMs with pop!OS, I just couldn't wrap my hand around it (pun intended). I really admire people who work through all the keyboard shortcuts. It's just not for my capabilities.

I think Windows actually did a great job of making tiling more mainstream - the way windows automatically snap to the left/right half of the screen. macOS could use something like that - I've hacked something similar using Hammerspoon[1] but I think Windows does it better: it's very discoverable for regular users, and has a very intuitive shortcut for the power users (win+left/right/up).

The world of minimalist tiling WMs suffers from the elitism factor. It's a shame that you can't get the right dose of minimalism, without making this huge leap. I think people making most of these WMs misunderstand good UX design: it's not about accommodating non-power users, it's about lowering the barrier for everyone, hackers included.

> "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.

In the end, it's statistics (assuming that 10 out of 100 similarly sized debts default, the expected value for such a CDO is 90% of the face value of all its debts) and the assumption there will not be any major market issues such as a bank run, a pandemic or war that suddenly increase the risk of debts going bad - or in this case, the stablecoin running out of the liquidity it needs to maintain the peg.

CDOs and all forms of coins are essentially bets.

We were naked, starving hunter-gatherers once. Hyenas preyed on us. We struggled to find wild plants and animals to eat to survive.

The ecosystem could support only a few of us, only so many food-plants could grow in such and such an area.

Then, we learned to grow crops.

Then, we learned to control and even eradicate pests to our crops.

We bred the plants and animals to suit our needs and wants, to make not just more food but tastier food.

We can, we have, and we will continue to transcend "the ecosystem" when it suits us. We will bend it not just to our needs, but to our desires. We will have dominion over it, and we will have delicious sweet corn on the cob instead of bitter grass seed, and we won't share it with the locusts and crop viruses.
