> If it increases too much that could happen, but there is nothing that says taxes have to be increased too much.

Let me correcting you: it's happening NOW, almost all other the world. We have already violent unrest in poorest countries and we start to have mass protests in less poor but still with not much developed social systems countries. And not due to tax increases but to mere price increase MOSTLY artificial using covid and Ukraine as excuses but partially NOT artificial due to real shortage and supply chains issues...

> You don't seriously think Sweden has a similar crime rate with bombs and shootings as certain parts of the US...

I do not think, I know, having lived in Sweden with some friends still there and having some friends in USA, surely I'm not in both places right now (I'm in France) BUT hearing their stories that's essentially the same, only handled in different ways and advertised in different ways.

> You're watching too much propaganda if you believe that.

We all do, I try my best to collect feeds for generic news to have different propaganda's to be compared and hear people from different places in general but that's is...

So that's why I never get caught ban evading on Reddit lol.
Yeah, I saw that too, and thought he probably uses a speech-to-text approach to drafting his articles. That seems like the sort of mistake speech recognition would make. But it could also be auto-correct or even a real typo.
React Responsive Web Store Open-Source Project
I have created an open source project for a React based web store NPM package that can transform React into a competitor of ecommerce solutions out there
They are for different purposes. Branch is for working on the code. Once done, use tag to snapshot a release. The branch can move forward as needed.
For every step in the right direction on privacy, Mozilla has taken 2 steps back. They're a bit like Apple in that they market themselves as the guy who cares about privacy, when in reality they're just slightly better than Google.

I don't believe you can care about privacy with half your org being hyper-political lefty activists, and Mozilla seems to be infested with them. Having monitored the Firefox reddit for 2 years, FF devs & leadership are often at odds with FF users who are people who want privacy above all.
Depends on the service or product you’re providing. Writers / content producers for example can make some income via subscription (donation) / patron. But the model breaks down when it’s a product that might require support.

Had to stop taking donations for a fairly popular open source project because someone would donate $10 and expect priority support or worse demand features.
Thanks for reading!

>Did you consider using the onboard m2 SSD as a slog device?

Oh, I didn't think I could. I thought it claims the whole disk, and I'm using it as the OS disk. Does TrueNAS support using a single SSD as both the OS and the SLOG? That would be great because I'm using so little of the disk, but I don't see an option for it.

>Did you try any sort of tuning to increase read speed?

No, I couldn't find a good guide on what options to change. Any recommendations?

>did the old tortured history of ZFS patents/licensing woes cross your mind?

For my needs, not really. I didn't dig too deeply into the history, but I saw there have been disputes, and that's why OS X ended up not using it for their time machine feature. It would be a bummer if it shuts down OpenZFS at some point, but I don't know of another open-source alternative that's a decent alternative. I guess Proxmox but it seems too optimized for VMs to do a great job as a NAS.
Thank you! Exactly what I was looking for.
The WHO is not really "powerful" like a nation is, as they do not have a military or enforcement arm, and they do not pass laws.

All they can do is decide how their funds get spent. They are granted all these "powers" to spend their funds by the participating states. Furthermore, they are restricted to spending it on things that promote world health. The worst they can do is squander the money, which isn't even all that much.

Compare this to people like Jeff Bezos who have vastly more money, 100% centralized, and effectively no restrictions on how they spend it. Whether you should be concerned about that is up for argument, but by contrast, any concerns about the WHO are pretty absurd.

We didn't replace Euclid's axioms. I'm sorry that you think so, because it is a common misconception that mathematics "believes in a set of axioms". The euclidean axioms are a foundation for the logical system of euclidean geometry. Eucliden geometry is not only unchanged, but is actually a system which has been proven to be consistent and decideable. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarski%27s_axioms. This makes it rather uninteresting, which is why we now study a different system.

Empiricism, likewise, is an axiom that goes. That which I observe exists, and then if you would like to keep that axiom, you're going to have to throw away anything else that is shown to be inconsistent as a result. Which is in bounds.
Even so, plenty of people were still willing to buy from established IBM competitors during that era. There's a difference between that and buying from someone no one in the C-suite has ever heard of, which is where `zig` is currently.
My non-lawyerly opinion believes that both the first amendment and the fourth amendment when taken together provide a decent foundation to a generalized right to privacy.

Specifically when you look at all of the cases over time defining actions as speech.

Is abortion a form of free speech? possibly!
I read the article and am still confused.

They use zig to compile go code transpiled to C is what I got out of it.

Not really sure why they don’t throw some money at go so it could pin the glibc version it compiles against as that seems to be the stated problem.
How is taking a crypto loan and using it to produce something "of value" in the U.S. different than someone taking a USD loan and using it to produce something of value in Turkey?
Yes, exactly. The title is encouraging hating people by accusing them of encouraging hating people. It does this in the usual way - by implying that a small group is representative of a large group.
Note that these employee counts probably include whole hospital staffs (since teaching hospitals / academic medical centers are frequently part of universities).
> where hyperbolic, emotional statements get attention and calm, rational discussion is ignored.

Rational and nuanced discussion requires patience, tolerance, energy, and a big heart to sometimes acknowledge that one is wrong. It's just so much easier to be angry, to be righteous, and to destroy the "enemies".
It’s not supposed to convince them, it’s just correcting a false premise.
Sure, ignoring common usage, from a super Asperger-level pedantic standpoint that’s true. That’s Hacker News for you.

But to say that is to miss the point that even “inventing the same thing without looking at it” is often advised against, when that is actually atrocious advice.
> because they have less premarital sex.

I think you make fair points, but I would guess here that the reality is not less pre-marital sex. It's probably more, it's just sex with birth control.
It's definitely not just supply-demand. The application pool for lecturers are places like Berkeley is much smaller than you think, when you start filtering for qualified folks.

Now, at least some of this is academia having too strong of a filter, but the year I joined Berkeley - I was 1 of 4 to accept the offer.
I'm getting a 404 from the Figma link...
> dd if=/dev/sda | gzip > image.gz

This actually serves at least two approximately legitimate purposes: firstly, it ensures that reads from sda are aligned to a (at least nominal, ie 512-byte) disk block, which doesnt matter for normal, kernel-supported drives like IDE/SATA/most USB (which is almost certainly what sda is), but avoids bespoke devices (or their drivers) trying to do something clever when gzip asks for 1 or 7 or 17 bytes. (And writes to poorly-designed devices/drivers can be even worse.)

More importantly, like useless use of cat, it prevents gzip from trying to delete sda when it's done, which is something it will in fact do:

$ echo test > /tmp/sda
$ gzip /tmp/sda
$ cat /tmp/sda
cat: /tmp/sda: No such file or directory

(For gzip specificially, you can also prevent this by writing `gzip </tmp/sda`, but I've occasionally run into tools that try to 'intellegently' handle stdin file descriptors that point at 'real' files, so I feel better having a separate process blocking the way.)
While the work itself is interesting, I'm also super curious to know how this was typeset. Did NASA have special typewriters with common math symbols, or go through some office with a Linotype or early digital typesetter, or something else?
Correct, in most jurisdictions I'm aware of. I was just being facetious :)
Thank you for such an honest and in-depth reply. The CSAM stuff was definitely one of my biggest issues with Apple as well. It felt like none of their other privacy efforts really mattered if they were willing to backdoor the device itself. It turned me off to their products as well. And your blog post had a lot of good points about Microsoft and Intel as well. There really is nobody left eh?

One of the alternatives I'm looking at is to just use the laptop as a thin client and offloading heavy tasks to a home server. Still can't be too thin a client, just in case I have poor network, but it seems like one of the best ways to get portability + privacy + power nowadays. But I'm also trying to be careful to do proper threat modeling [1] so that I don't burn out, as the rabbit hole goes very deep.

Overall it's great to hear from others that they are able to de-Apple their lives, it makes me think maybe I don't really need that M1 after all :) Though it's true that the direction of personal devices and the war on computing [2] is rather disheartening.

Can you quote research to support your claim?

Alas I only have an anecdote.

I considered starting a PhD around ten years ago. One particular university was having an open day. When I got there everyone was locked out because someone hadn't bothered to tell someone else the open day was happening.

There were visits to the facilities, which were interesting enough but a lot of the tech had been there since the 90s (or 70s in some cases) and there wasn't anything fresh to see.

And there was a show-and-tell by various researchers and one lead professor, during which I realised the professor was a Grade A Bullshitter [1], and the researchers weren't even remotely familiar with other work in the field.

The main person I wanted to see didn't bother to turn up.

Bizarrely, there was a persistently religious undertone - very strange in a field that isn't even remotely religious. (The university is quite well known for its theology department.)

Now, this is a very niche field, so I have no way of knowing if it was typical.

But as experiences go it certainly didn't suggest that that particular department was simmering with eager high-voltage professionalism.

Since then I've read "We're looking for PhD students" notices on various email lists. It's striking how many [2] seem like transparently contrived attempts at getting funding from organisations who already know what exactly they want to fund, and how few have are truly research-driven.

It feels very much like a box ticking exercise. Org gets money, org hands it out to researchers, researchers get students, students write up dissertation, dissertation is forgotten, rinse and repeat.

[1] Subsequently confirmed independently by other people in various "Oh, him - yes, he's a loon" conversations.

[2] Not all. There are places who on the leading edge. But even there some of the research feels dissociated from real problems - almost as if the goal is the production of "Towards..." "Considering..." and "A critique/summary/review/taxonomy of..." of papers, and not so much developing techniques and solutions that that would really move the field forward.
So what it boils down to: The old (1st generation) vaccine is still being held in storage but currently not available to the general public (says https://www.bag.admin.ch/bag/de/home/krankheiten/krankheiten..., FAQ number 10). It could be made available in case of an outbreak. There is no approval for any of the more modern vaccines.
Came here to say this. One of the goals of a Christian life is to manifest heaven on Earth.
What's ironic? The collapse of the Bretton-Woods system and the gold standard are well documented and it has been widely recognized as a good thing by everyone except for gold-bug cryptocurrency enthusiasts. For reasons they continue to assert that a currency must be backed by a "hard asset", ie: gold.

All I think it demonstrates is how little these advocates seem to understand economics and banking.
The author has nobody but himself to blame, since he sabotaged the reception of his own article with an inflammatory headline that assumes a false (or at least contentious) premise.
If the smallpox vaccine has not changed a lot in the meantime...
Probability of death: 1 in 1 million.
Probability of death for infants: 5 in 1 million.

Still not something to take a risk.

[Comparatively, if this source is not mistaken:

for Covid vaccine 5 deaths per 1 million]
Value is much harder to determine, so governments usually just tax (realized) capital gains instead.
>It was the same with the aids epidemic, the gay community ignored/denied/downplayed the demographic localization of HIV but the truth was that at it's height if you were not a gay male the epidemic was effectively irrelevant to your life.

There are a hell of a lot of people - and a hell of a lot of people who have sadly died - who would be very surprised to hear this. It's a pretty accepted view by those that study the AIDS epidemic that calling it a gay plague caused massive problems for people who weren't gay and contracted HIV.

Singling out gay men for what you have decided are immoral behaviours is exactly why there is a stigma around HIV and why people continue to fail to seek treatment.
We had a similar DAG that was the result of migration a single daily Luigi pipeline to Airflow. I started identifying isolated branches and breaking them off with external task sensors back to the main DAG. This worked but it's a pain in the ass. My coworker ended up exporting the graph to graphviz and started identifying clusters of related tasks that way.

>> I think it's a big deal because viruses get clicks now in the age of covid.

SARS, MERS, bird flu. These were all big news too.

>> It's a hard to spread virus that currently appears to be concentrated in men engaging in homosexual intercourse.

Do these people not matter? Also, have you forgotten HIV? Really struggling to find your point here.
> But it does reveal to people that "value" is a human construct. A central bank can create infinite money out of thin air, but we never stop to think about that.

This is not where money comes from.
It's been many years since I've ran plan sets, so my memory is a bit fuzzy, but we would occasionally get old school plot files. The Canon RIP that controlled the plotter would covert them automatically.
Investors can sue if Netflix lies, though importantly if what you're worried about is a collapse in the value of the security, um... bad news. Suing is not going to recover the value of the security.

I don't think that Netflix itself has a responsibility to report the flow of fiat currency into and out of Netflix, certainly not in a timely enough way to prevent people from being burned by the outflow of capital from it (as, indeed, has happened this year). The stock exchanges themselves provide visibility into that.

Sadly the effects system seems to be just "pure vs impure" tracking per function. No arbitrary effects or custom handlers.

Is that accurate?I was hoping for something more like Koka.

Otherwise that is a very intriguing combination of features, especially first class Datalog constraints.

Any plans for additional backends? (native, Webassembly)?
I see it differently. It's not prediction based on anything statistical but based on one's understanding.

I've made it a habit to ask myself what I expect the output to be for any programming operation, and why. It forces me to gain clarity into my mental model of what's happening, and it immediately highlights deficiencies in my model when it's proven wrong.

I ask the same of others when I pair program with juniors or interviewees. I find super useful all around.
Again, we should not fall prey to resulting.

It's not about what we did know, it's about what we didn't. Early on, we had no idea how the virus was interacting with children and the school system. Being under-cautious would have been the wrong move, because the worst case scenario was horrifying.
Your hypothetical doesn't make much sense to me because it assumes Obama had more power than he did- Obama wasn't elected king of America.

You need 60 votes in the senate to pass anything unless you eliminate the filibuster (the so called nuclear option). Obama had 60 Democrats exactly which means if even a single Democrat was willing to vote against a federal right to abortion law Obama couldn't have done it.
I'm not sure about the numbers, but I've seen multiple Tesla fires IRL, and never seen an ICE vehicle spontaneously begin smoking and catch fire in front of me. Ymmv.

Plus his family aren’t choosing to live their lives in hiding. What part of the smart contract is going to prevent acts of violence against them? Seems like he was relying on maintaining anonymity and now that that’s out the window his family is on real danger. $16-17 million is a lot of dough and it would cost a lot less than that to hire some kidnapping & ransom specialists to visit his family.
While there are clear inefficiencies in FPGA tooling, I can assure you the complexity of the tooling is 2 or 3 orders of magnitude higher than microcontrollers.

Not that I don't wish to have tooling available for me to modify, but I also understand this is thousand years of man work right there...
This is a really hard philosophical claim you have here. Especially given the fact that it uses vague terms like freedom and power, which philosophers don’t really know the full ramifications of, and whole books have been written on trying to understand what they even are.

I’m gonna call bullshit on this. This sentence can mean anything you want to, while being constructed in such a way to be arise suspicion.

That is, unless you care to clarify what you mean by power and freedom here, i.e. is patents on vaccines included in centralization of power? Is my freedom to infect those around me included?

And even after you have clarified these terms, some empirical data wouldn’t hurt either. To show a negative correlation with—whatever you call centralization of power and individual freedom (however you define it).
I was curious if people will get even madder if the US passes a law to enforce maximum number of weeks post-fertilization. There are only fewer than 10(?) countries, after all, that do not have such time limit. Most of the European countries do.
This 'money is just an agreement or a common belief' is a fallacy. Gold is scarce, divisible, verifiable, resilient, etc. It simply has good inherent properties to work as money, as a store of value and as a medium of exchange. No one decided or agreed to use gold as money. It just emerged in a free market as the best money, because of those properties. Same goes for bitcoin.
> the idea of legislating morality as counter to the basis of their religion

And this is what I've been finding lately as I've been reading and researching the bible.
Well see that's the thing. What makes killing a human murder? I'm of the opinion that the human mind is what makes a human more valuable than a lower animal. Killing a cloned body with no cerebrum wouldn't be murder. I'm forced to concede, however, that that belief doesn't give me a reason that newborns should be more protected than fetuses as it takes months for infants to begin demonstrating consciousness and memory. If consciousness isn't the dividing line, then what is? You could say the ability to sustain life on one's own is the dividing line, but then that line is always moving. A one year old infant will die without care. A thousand years ago a six month old fetus would almost certainly die shortly after birth, but today the survival rate is nearly 100%. With today's technology a 24 week fetus has between a 60 and 70 percent chance of survival. Is killing a 24 week fetus murder? If murder is contingent on its ability to survive with modern technology, what happens as technology pushes that age smaller and smaller?

Adopting a Least Convenient Possible World principle makes the questions even harder. If you could push a button to have a Star Trek style transporter instantly and painlessly teleport the fetus into an artificial womb, should you still be allowed to kill it instead?
Do you require advice to be great before you listen to it? I tend to decide whether advice was great after I've heard it, or better still after I've put it into action.
It is because the US didn't close all the loopholes and because foreign countries have to buy energy in rubles... ie: heavily manipulated currency.

> WHO is meeting this week

This seems off topic.

The article is about monkeypox. The WHO meeting is about regulations.

Yes, they are both public health issues, but that's about as close of a connection as there is.
