The two perspectives are not at odds.

If there was an attack, someone potentially made hundreds of millions of dollars in profit [1] at the expense of many small investors, in a clear attempt to manipulate the market and defraud investors. That's market manipulation and it's a financial crime, so it should be criticized and investigated.

At the same time, of course Terra and Do Kwon deserve the blame for creating an algorithmic stablecoin that was flawed and susceptible to market manipulation (just like many folks have long predicted) [2]. More importantly, there's a complete lack of transparency on the timeline of events during the week of the crash, and how individuals with internal information acted with their own personal funds invested in Anchor/Luna/UST. That should also be investigated.

Yeah as a pedestrian I wouldn't risk it. The rules are only useful if everyone follows them. Being right is not worth it.
I dream of a reusable glass bottle set. We could have basic designs such as wine, beer, short wide, tall narrow, etc. Like some areas have a tax on plastic bags, we could add a tax on goods sold in non-resusble and non compliant packaging.
> Activities will gradually lose their luster as you age, if you are focused on what you get from them.

Doing things for other is also activities, and you also seem to be focused on what you get (sympathetic joy) from that.

You are right in that doing the same things for literally decades can get boring. Rethinking your life and trying different things is part of aging (including focusing on yourself, if what you did all your life was to do stuff for others)
On-One bikes made - and still make [0]- a bike called the ScandAl. Clever name, orignally marketed as Scandium and a cute logo with atomic number of the elements in it. Mine cracked just like the one in the article picture (to be fair, after a decade of hard use).

Glad to see they are having some success. What surprised me the most about growing my own fruits and vegetables in my back yard is that many of the cultivars for standard things like tomatoes, strawberries, etc. are bred to survive transport at the expense of flavor. Basically things like rock hard tomatoes when they are picked that become soft (but not very much more flavorful) after traveling to the produce market.

When you grow your own, you can grow berries that are "too delicate" to grow economically on big farms because too many berries don't survive transit. As a result it opens up different berries (and other produce) that you might not otherwise have access too.

That said, getting seeds can be a challenge, I'm super blessed to live within driving distance of an excellent Ag college (UC Davis) but reaching out to the heirloom seeds community is another strategy some have pursued.

> Who are the people taking these inconvenient, unoptimal and expensive loans, when they can get better and cheaper loans through traditional means?

USDC is at 2.3% APR, USDT 3.78%. I think you'll find that most people cannot obtain unsecured loans that low, and the forms of collateral a bank will accept are much more limited. The biggest reason is also the reason why people like Elon Musk have massive loans: avoiding taxes on realized gains.

Sure, just like how "startups" are actually Ponzi schemes with early investors preying on the later ones. Same people owning it, too!
How about the system freezing? Vscode compiling a flutter project with an Android Emulator open. Firefox with MS Teams, Jura etc, no tab hoarding. Sometimes chrome is open as well. Upgraded to 32gb and the freezes are gone.

16gb is not enough anymore for even such a modest workload.

> but so far only the Apple M1 has shown that traditional x64-like performance is possible on laptop/desktop from ARM chips

FWIW, ThunderX will sell you a 96 core arm64 desktop that definitely offers x64-like performance. And Ampere will sell you a 256 core arm64 2U server node that matches the performance of the fastest AMD Epyc Milan CPUs. AFAIK there is no desktop case that supports the motherboard of the latter, but there is no reason why you couldn't make one.

These things are a bit niche, since the main benefit of arm64 is the reduced power demand at a given performance level, which desktop/workstation users seldom care much about. In the data center though they are killing it, I believe Azure is using the Ampere Altra stuff for their Graviton2-competitor.
Eventually most of those companies controlled by their own workers would need to raise capital again, and then we'd quickly end up back where we started. Plus employee control hasn't worked well in most of the companies where it was tried. Look what happened to United Airlines. They were majority employee owned for a while, but the different groups of employees never agreed on how to run the company.
One of my ancestors was a British aristocrat and tory MP who was so vocal in his opposition to appeasing the American colonists in any way at all that even King George raised an eyebrow.

His total conviction led him to purchase a commission as major of Grenadiers in the 20th Foot, and set off for The Colonies, where he was promptly shot at The Battle of Saratoga and then taken prisoner.

Because he was a wounded officer and a minor noble, his wife was permitted to come and pick him up.

“Lost cause” theories are considered the actual revisionism by the vast majority of historians, due to the many pieces of strong evidence supporting slavery being the major issue driving the war.

Let’s start with the articles of secession. Ctrl-F on these and you’ll find “slave” mentioned more than 80 times. https://www.battlefields.org/learn/primary-sources/declarati...

There were the journals of the actual soldiers fighting the war, who frequently mentioned how slavery was their motivation for fighting the war.

There was the intense focus on slavery leading up to the war, like a slave state being admitted for every free state. There was the Caning of Summers where a man was nearly beaten to death on the senate floor over a very rude speech he gave over slavery https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caning_of_Charles_Sumner

There were the northerners coming into slave states and inciting slave rebellions https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Brown_(abolitionist)

In general, the idea that slavery wasn’t a motivator of the war was mostly pitched to Britain who was mostly abolitionist at the time, but overwhelmingly it was mostly pitched after the war had already concluded. Before and during the war the confederates were quite clear their motivation for waging the war was primarily slavery. They were very open about this, which is why historians tend to be doubtful about a theory which seemingly was only ever popularized to make the confederates save face. Historians aren’t keen to go “oh these people who mentioned slavery over and over when they were seceding didn’t care about slavery that was just a prank and I know how they really felt, checkmate Lincolnites!”

Nobody doubts that economics weren’t a major factor in the war, but slavery was discussed far far far more often than tariffs. Tariffs are mostly brought up nowadays because they’re more palatable, not because of the strong evidence the average southerner or southern leader was fighting for tariffs.

>Lincoln did nothing to free the slaves when the war started

True. Lincoln’s initial goal was to keep the union together, whereas the confederates were fighting for slavery. Keep in mind the Civil war was by far the deadliest war in US history, I believe more Americans died in that war than every subsequent war combined. Ending slavery is a noble goal, so is preventing the 620k deaths that happened.

It was only later on, largely due to the aforementioned British pressure that he gave his emancipation proclamation largely as a strategic move to prevent Europe from entering the war since after the proclamation their entrance into the war would be seen as supportive of slavery. However, Lincoln did want to end slavery eventually and many in the union fought for the sake of abolition. Note how a civil war was started soon after Lincoln was elected with the secessionists repeatedly mentioning slavery, his support of abolition was no secret.
I think this article misses that there is a statistical conditioning issue.

If the research literature says that patients who get scans showing lumps in their lungs have X% chance of having lung cancer, there is an implicit conditioning there in the patient having complained to the doctor of some kind of symptom that prompted the scan. X% isn't the probability of having cancer given lump on scan, it's the probability of having cancer given a lump on a scan in patients have breathing trouble. If you test too much you run the risk of there not being data about what the baseline is! Studies for a lung cancer treatment usually take 1000 random people and give them all lung x-rays and then wait to see how many get cancer later and survive the experimental treatment, instead they usually find 1000 people already diagnosed with lung cancer that had it diagnosed by traditional means (e.g. scans prompted by breathing problems). The same reasoning applies to deciding whether to do a biopsy -- most biopsies are going to be prompted by scans from a relevant patient complaint, so statistics computed to determine the risk/benefit tradeoff are implicitly conditioned on that. You need a separate study to determine the risk/benefit for incidental discovery.
So they had been selling them for $50 per strawberry and they’re only 13 - 14 brix? For $50 I can plant a tree that will yield 30 - 40 lbs of fruit per year at 26 - 28 brix.

This is perhaps a good real world example of the marshmallow test.

I thoroughly agree that loneliness is specifically an issue with America. Here we are taught to value the individual above all else. While this provides nice benefits, it also has its downsides.

Everywhere I look, most people in their 20's are focused on their careers, people in their 30's-40's are raising children, and by their 50's are basically home bodies. I myself am stuck with being focused on my career. I feel as if I take too much time off to be social, I will fall behind in the rat race.

I'm comparing this against a multi-month trip I did in South America. I frequently encountered public transportation and so many more people walked. I found myself talking with random people just because we happened to be walking in the same direction or taking the same public transport or right next to each other at popular restaurants.

I mean yes, it does filter for those that are willing to put up with some bullshit to get a job. But you haven't convinced me that the group that's unwilling to put up with this is unqualified.

There are many senior people or folks with families/etc that don't have the time or patience for this ridiculous cargo cult hazing ritual masquerading as a hiring technique.

I would say your assertion that "leetcode is a proxy for IQ" is a bold statement to make without some bold sources to back it up.

I actually use it quite often.

Right shift when I'm typing with a single hand (for example while phoning or eating). Without it, it would be pretty much impossible to type anything using only one hand, because the rightmost letters are too far away from the left shift key.

The right alt (gr) is very useful to type many languages (especially accentuated) using a US qwerty.
I’ve always thought that there seemed to be a meta-selfishness to that sort of thinking.

Look, I agree with you - celebratory gunfire is pretty safe, and if you want to be safer, shoot straight up. Not only will it slow to zero, but you will be the one most likely to be hurt by it.

That said, just because you shoot straight up doesn't mean it will slow to zero.

The Wikipedia entry lists "October 12, 2003: Wedding guests in Belgrade, Serbia mistakenly shot down a small aircraft", pointing to http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/3185884.stm .

russellbeattie is still right - the person who shot that plane is partially at blame for the damage to the plane and the injuries of the two people onboard.

(I say partially because from what I gather, neither person was a trained pilot and were joyriding.)
I find it interesting that the implication is that you should strive to not be self seeking, because it’s better for you.
Wait, what are you saying about Bush? If there's one thing his admin is known for it's targeting Muslim Americans.

But I'll agree, Dems still don't support gay marriage, pregnancy care, trans folks, etc. They just happen to be slightly better about it than Republicans are. Turns out being a minority in America is kinda a bad deal

So back in the 90's a friend and regular attendee at the HBRC club meetings had started a company promoting nitonal wire which they had called "Muscle Wire"[1] they apparently still have a web site. I have a couple of their educational packs and have built their hot/cold water engine which uses a coffee cup with hot water and a coffee cup with cold water to run. It really is quite fun and I ended up building a simple actuator with one of the kits. These days it would be fun to put a cell phone camera on an "antenna stalk" that could be turned and pointed using this stuff.

For most of their applications a current was applied to the wire that would heat it up and cause it to spring out straight, then as it cooled the wire would recover. Not particularly fast actuation but quite controllable.

This is an under-appreciated point. Most vegetables sold in supermarkets are varieties bred for durability (both physical and temporal).

If you grow the produce at point-of-sale and don’t transport it, you can make it feasible to sell more heirloom varieties (and many species like huckleberries) that just don’t travel/scale well in modern mechanized agriculture.

You’re not going to compete on price, but you can potentially get a far superior product.

> When thinking about the dating of agriculture it is important to remember that Göbekli Tepe was rediscovered rather than discovered. In October 1994, the archaeologist Klaus Schmidt was reviewing archives of known sites, trying to decide where to dig next.

We can go ahead and cast it as an economic conflict if we really want -- the conflict between a system based on industrialization and an alternate one based on slavery. But slavery is, as you say, most certainly central to the conflict.

This is the right question I think.

For me personally, not the person you replied to, it is the noise.

After years of soul-searching, and as a music lover, it’s about the noise. I will (or would) leave NYS over this. 76dB 50ft away under 35mph and over 35mph it’s 82dB - a joke.

I can’t find the sourcing for this but what I read was that contemporary descriptions of the taste of tomatoes were outright wrong from certain people, but would make sense if you were indeed eating tomatoes with metal.

This combined with an idea that eating tomatoes makes you sick that persisted… same deal! Tomatoes will make you sick if you’re poisoning yourself in the process.

I feel the exact opposite at 30. Every leisurely lone time that I once used to enjoy now feels like pointless escapism and filler, until the next meaningful social interaction. Until recently I had even been an avid solo traveler until I hit the wall of pointlessness hard. I can’t exactly point to what it is, but a guess would be “adult life after studies”. Now that I’ve experienced the rush of a handful of different jobs, it now seems like a “been there, done that”.

I have, at times, thought about e.g. moving to a different country, or changing to a much more demanding job, but I’ve done those things before, and they didn’t lead to “dramatic” social outcomes more so than the odd chance encounter in my daily life, so I figure “why bother?”
