It's a balance of issues.

These measures are only likely to lead to the arrest of a small portion of abusers, while opening a massive avenue for government overreach across the entire population.

I would assume that very few to none of us on here are pedophiles, and we're aware this is going on. It stands to reason that the pedophiles are also aware that this is going on, and the vast majority of them are going to adjust their behavior to avoid this scanning. Doubly so once a few arrests are made.

The balance of those issues is subjective, though.
Yep and yep, also more runtimes.
This is also a way to think about the UFOs. If they are uncrewed, then it's quite possible it took them tens or hundreds of years to get here, and once here, to seek out US Navy maneuvers (cos that's where the most interesting electromagnetic spectrum is), and then toy with them to check our capabilities. And then report back. If the "UFO attack" on Washington DC in the early 50s was one series of contacts, then there's been decades for them pesky aliens to work up another wave of drones to come say hi and mess with naval aviators' heads.

governments have printed money at unprecedented rates worldwide
over the last year. If there were ever a time for BTC to be going
parabolic, it would have been over the last year. What happened?
It went down by half.

It makes sense to look at it on a chart. Here is the money supply vs the Bitcoin price:

https://twitter.com/JonathanBeuys/status/1529091761460727810

First of all, the government did not start printing at unprecedented rates last year. It started that in 2008.

Second, monetary policy decisions do not impact asset prices in a linear way. And also not in a real time fashion.

When I look at the chart, all I see is that both - the money supply and the price of Bitcoin - went up over time.

Right, that's classic whataboutism, and it uses an inch of U.S. abuses to sweep away a mile of abuses by China. Those things just don't exist in a logical relationship of justifying, absolving, or forbidding analysis of one another. Their relation, if there is one at all, would be an and relationship, not an or, and certainly not an xor.

Even a person fully invested in talking about U.S. human rights abuses and categorically disagrees with the idea that China has ever done anything wrong, you would hope that such a person wouldn't try to use the one topic to derail the other.

I always wonder if the people writing these articles understand that a very small fraction of the NFT ecosystem lives on BTC. BTC is the only cryptocurrency it mentions by name, and it then goes on to state "oh yeah, all those NFTs are also worthless, as are the other unnamed cryptocurrencies, which I'm sure are the same thing as Bitcoin"
I think it's probably not a good idea to read comments about your writing on the internet. They aren't sending them 'to you' - you've sought out this discussion - so it's on you if you choose to read people's opinions.

If you want constructive advice: try to write in the same way that you would talk. Shallowly, that means read your writing out loud – what Flaubert called his 'gueulade' – or, even better, vice versa: write down your spoken thoughts. More deeply it means not saying anything that you wouldn't say in real life. Get to the point, ditch the fluff, treat it like a (garrulous, one-sided) phone call. Have your point constantly at the front of your mind, and only say what's absolutely necessary to explain or justify it. It will improve your writing immensely.

Oh, and read Orwell's 'Politics and the English Language': https://www.orwell.ru/library/essays/politics/english/e_poli.... If pressed for time, then particularly the last third or so. His advice is the best you can ever hear as a writer. Reflect on your good fortune: by writing this, you've now identified what makes good writing.

> They're necessarily heavier to contain more sensors and actuators though which requires a larger/heavier tractor to reliably haul them around fields.

I'm not buying this causal chain: Sensors do not weigh much; I don't see a reason why the number and weight of actuators should change because the machines have more smarts.

I suspect tractors and implements get bigger because that's an obvious path to higher operator productivity.
It’s a category error to confuse household liabilities with sovereign liabilities. So long as a sovereign currency issuer retains sovereignty it can expand its balance sheet freely. And yes through gross mismanagement it could provoke a revolution and thus lose sovereignty.
>If I ran a charity and had an exclusive choice to either spend $X to raise $Y...

The common criticism of this hangs on how elastic the supply of donor dollars are.
If you spend $1M to divert funds from another charity to yours, then the system overall is worse off.

This isn't a perfect model because donor dollars are not fixed, and all charities are not equivalent. reality lies somewhere in-between.

That said, it is all pretty irrelevant because there are lots of groups that evaluate charities on their overhead to benefit, so it is pretty easy to find one with low overhead if that is a concern.

I guess SpaceX and Tesla have different policies

https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1421325748158312458?lang...

"Tesla policy is never to give in to false claims, even if we would lose, and never to fight true claims, even if we would win."
It's only claim to be a SoV (unless you still believe it's on the path to being used as a means of payment) is the belief that it might have the weird countercyclical properties of gold (i.e. everyone buys it out of habit when they lose confidence in assets valued for their future returns like stocks and bonds and/or local currency)

Instead, when asset prices crashed and most countries experienced their highest inflation in decades, BTC not only failed to gain in value as a "safe haven" but actually fell much faster. Impossible to stress how favourable this year should have been to an "uncensorable" abstract store of value whose supply doesnt vary according to economic conditions.
Yip, we have all the history we need in economics to know what makes a good currency. The problem with crypto is all the tech-utopians making it, never read any economics (or political theory); and all the financiers hyping it, never read any tech, so presume their education isnt relevant.

Bitcoin is a mirror image of bread-coins which subsequently rot. We know not to make currency out of bread (ie., items with negative time-bounded exchange value), I hope we have now discovered not to make them out of blockchain-slices.
And yet with all this negative sentiment, it still trades at $30k/per. People are still pouring $USD into it even though cash is much harder to come by.

I wonder about the psychological needs of those who come out to declare victory when an asset drops in value. What is their motivation? Why does this person need to believe that Bitcoin is dead?

AWS
x86 Price $0.0000166667 for every GB-second $0.20 per 1M requests

Arm Price $0.0000133334 for every GB-second $0.20 per 1M requests

DO $0.0000185/GB-second
So basically a little higher price for each GB/s but no cost pr request.

AWS free tier provides 400,000 GB-s and 1 million free requests per month

DO free tier 90,000GB-seconds of usage for free per month

So cheaper in some respects compared to AWS. Google and Azure is roughly the same as AWS.
Also DO include egress which is expensive on AWS (it does not say it cost anything).

Only one of those curves looks like a currency. The other looks like the price of a bridge for sale.
So I assume this is being posted because Pebble was the company that is accused of ripping off Eco?

>“If you’re lending without collateral, there’s a huge risk, because [the borrower] is not putting down an asset,” Bai said. “Fortunately, because [Pebble’s borrowers] are putting $1,500 down, say, on a user’s $1,000 deposit, there is an asset. So even if the borrower fails to pay, we can liquidate their assets.”

Let's run the scenario shall we. I put down $1500 worth of BTC and you give me $1000 USDC. I go off and spend it on BTC. Because duh - the only reason I would want to borrow USDC is to buy crypto. Now, what scenario am I ever going to fail to pay you back? Well, the only scenario is if BTC crashes and I can't sell my BTC to pay you back your USDC. Oh no! But you're smart - you've taken collateral. But wait, you took collateral in BTC. So your collateral is perfectly correlated with the cause of default. The only case where your collateral matters is the case where it's unlikely to cover the loan.

What I find really funny about this is that it's this perfect mix of two things: The interest rates are higher than you can get from pretty much any savings account (because it's not a savings account), it's also catastrophically lower than the risk you're taking on. Like, if you really wanted to participate in this you should be asking for loanshark-like yeilds not 5%.

Sometimes, asking a question is not possible unless you personally find someone (or someones) qualified to answer it. Rather, you'd pick up a book and/or watch some YouTube videos regarding the subject. Then you can brainstorm and bruteforce attempts at understanding the topic until you finally achieve some level of comprehension of whatever it is you're trying to learn.

So most of this would boil down to RTFM, except it would be in published academic books or videos of "experts" discussing it. It would be up to you to define what an expert is. Choose carefully.

> Not to mention tracks have to slide sideways to turn and that is bad for your topsoil.

It's unusual and perhaps not suited to large tracked vehicles, but there is an alternative to using differential track speed for turning: track warping. Basically the vehicle bends the tracks one way or the other to induce a turn. The turning radius sucks though.
I wish there was a variable-width font equivalent of TUIs.
DuckDuckGo feels like just a front for Microsoft at this point. I once looked into buying search ads on DuckDuckGo, only to discover to my horror that DDG didn't have its own ad business. DDG is entirely reliant on Microsoft's advertising system. You have to sign up for a Microsoft account to even put ads on DDG! And it's difficult — maybe impossible IIRC? — to specifically target DDG in those ads, without also targeting other MS properties.

Until DuckDuckGo separates itself from Microsoft and becomes truly independent, especially in its business model, you have to question why DDG even exists.

DDG was founded 14 years ago. I can understand initially bootstrapping on MS ads, but what's the excuse now? How about separating yourself from Microsoft first, before making a web browser that gives special exemptions to Microsoft?

as far as I know COVID is not transmitted primarily through broken skin, so it does seem more likely to be transmitted through sex.
I’m not so sure, when I look up the definition of simple it starts with “Easily”. In my native english speaker mind simplicity is a type of easiness.

Though if we want to make the clear distinction, like in the Clojure talk below, for the programming domain that’s fine.

Taught Master’s and second entry degrees like MDs and JDs are bad for different reasons. The first enable credentialism, which should be discouraged which tax does. Second entry degrees are just bad.

A. What if another operator takes the source code, and starts a competing commercial service?

I've seen very few (I think 1 or 2) instances of somebody attempting a commercial product based on Healthchecks open-source code. I think that's because it's just a lot of work to run the service professionally, and then even more work to find users and get people to pay for it.

B. What if a potential customer decides to self-host instead?

I do see a good amount of enthusiasts and companies self-hosting their private Healthchecks instance. I'm fine with that. For one thing, the self-hosting users are all potential future clients of the hosted service. They are already familiar and happy with the product, I just need to sell the "as a service" part.
That‘s a good decision! Developers nowadays fear a failing machine so much because it‘s happening more often on the cloud than dedicated servers. I wouldn‘t use automatic failover too. Cleaning up the mess can take hours and days, a small downtime of a few minutes/hours is better.

I‘ve seen one developer using telegram for ha-failover which is great! Just a message and the scripts are executed for a failover. You can do it in seconds without even being on a computer.

Risk factor for sexually transmitted infections you mean? We know how to avoid spreading them: get tested regularly, and use barriers when necessary. The number of partners is less important than those two. If you don’t do the first two, even one partner can be a problem.

As for why one thing is better than another, it's a sense that I get when I walk away from a good book. A deeply satisfying feeling. Sugar tastes good, I could eat candy all day, but try to explain to someone who only eats candy the satisfaction you get from a good, home cooked, southern meal. Biscuits and sausage gravy, fried chicken, grits, collared greens. If someone offers me a Reese's peanut butter cup, I'll probably take it some of the time - and I definitely don't want to eat a full meal all the time.

But the vast majority of people have ONLY been eating plain sugar - they don't even realize there is a whole world of different ingredients and foods out there. Most people exposed to other foods don't go back to only eating sugar - and that's because real food is better. It's not something you can deduct with logic, and it will never be done in an academic/research setting because it's taboo in academia to make value judgements about culture.

I've started using postgres at work after a decade of mysql

My expectations were that postgres had a better query engine that was able to make more advanced plans

Operationally it sounded easier to shard mysql, I thought they were the main trade offs

In reality I have been puzzled at the query planner in postgres, rewriting queries to be equivalent (to me at least) causes wildly different plans

Coaxing the engine to use an index is much harder, if not impossible in postgres so far

JSON support seems better but overall that encourages their use which has pros and cons but can definitely hinder schema reading

So far it's not much greener for me on the otherside of the fence, going to continue to evaluate datomic and miss sequel pro, table plus is ok but weird in places
I don't think that vaccine mandates had a significant impact on hospitalization rates.

The most people getting hospitalized will be elderly. I already mentioned that vaccine mandates did not significantly increased vaccinate uptake among them. Canada and Australia received high vaccination rates among elderly but so did the UK, so there was no need to push for vaccine mandates. China which is practically a totalitarian country also had low vaccination rates among elderly.
