Bridge is at least as deep as chess, and most hands, no matter if it is a grand slam or a seemingly trivial partial, pose several dilemmas for every player.

Thing is, the beauty of bridge (much like programming) only reveals itself after months of regular play; but instead of alarming red lines of error messages you just write your score and move on. If you don't inmerse yourself on it, you'll never see all the decisions you could have taken better.

For me, as a several times national representative player, it's perfectly obvious you haven't understood it yet.

That makes sense, but even nailing down a price for lab bloodwork turns out to be elusive. I’m dealing with a bill that I discussed with the doctor beforehand that turned out to be 4x what we discussed. I don’t blame the doctor, I don’t think he had access to the true cost either.

They lose their looks but maintain high standards for men. This leads to them waiting for a man who is less and less likely to appear with each passing year. Many want children but know it's already too late. The clock has run out. The fire is gone. Many are on anti-depressants or in therapy etc. After many relationships they seem to lose their ability to bond with a man. And most of them don't truly get any fulfilment from work, hobbies, friends etc. Not having children is a huge void in their lives which they often fill with cats.
It's amazing to me how many people struggle with the first issue she describes. If a task is blocked it doesn't matter that it's high priority, there is zero point in doing it because you can't actually do it. If it's blocked by a lower priority task, then elevate that task's priority and do it first (or earlier). This is project management 101, also called common sense.

And yet their purchase of WA shows Zuck's ruthlessness and business genius. He saw his team fail to beat WA, he realized they would never beat them, and he made a decision to buy WA for what was an insane price.

16 billion dollars for a 24(?) person company with no revenue.

I think 99% of executives on earth wouldn't have made that decision. They would have believed their teams that said victory was around the corner, or deluded themselves into thinking success was inevitable, or would have been afraid to demoralize their team, or would have rationalized away why messaging wasn't important after all.

He just acted and won, for what now seems like a bargain.

That said, I don't have any problems with rolling-release. I've ran stuff like openSUSE Tumbleweed for years, and back in my dabbling days, plenty of Gentoo and Arch.

My issue is that for non-personal and longer-term deployments, FreeBSD has never been a contender for me because of having to keep on top of Ports upgrades. For example for a project at work, I wouldn't want to return to a FreeBSD deployment months later to add a feature, and then have to update all my packages on that system.

I understand chances are the upgrades would likely be hitch-free, or would only require a little bit of fixing around, but I still really don't want to hold my breath every 3 months.

There are two separate things here: one is the ability to manage your own assets, the other the ability to enter in a contract.

I am talking about only the first one. The problems with banks is that they are intermediaries between you and your money.

> Try to get a loan in crypto with 80% collateral and then we can talk

First: a mortgage is overcollaterized. A bank will take the whole house from you if you default, not just what is due. They are taking your downpayment and effectively keeping control over the property.

Second: that is not even the point. The point is that a bank will not give you a mortgage even if you are good for it. Why, because they don't have proper systems in place to assess risk?

Yeah, sure, undercollaterized loans require a system that both parties can agree on and that can solved in case of breach of aggreement. IOW, it is not a trustless system. So it would not happen on the blockchain.

But you know what could happen on the blockchain? I could make a loan with someone I know using the current institutions, add that to my funds to get a overcollaterized loan and then I still don't need a bank. To go back to my first comment on this thread, adoption of crypto does not imply an all-or-nothing approach.

I can be a "web3 enthusiast" and still make use of the current institutions when they suit me. It's the increased optionality that interests me.

So you agree with me the reason they are a scam has nothing to do with transaction fees??? Maybe you should re-read my initial comment.

> You are now one of those market participants twisting language because you are 100% convinced that you will begin harvesting benjamins in 10 years once you plant your money tree seeds.

I have never, am not currently, and do not plan to hold any cryptocurrency or invest in crypto-related projects. Thanks for projecting this onto me though!

> Once the tree matures and bears no fruit, will money seeds be a scam, or will it just be that your tree was a "Failed project", but the ecosystem of money tree seeds is 100% legitimate?

You really should go re-read my first comment - I never said anything close to this.

> Look even waiting 3 months is already a failure of the speedy requirement.

3-4 months to get a criminal case together, with discovery requirements, etc, seems reasonable.

> No anyone ever hitting 1 year is clear evidence of total failure of the system to even pretend to care about this issue.

I don't agree. Terrible stuff happens occasionally-- it is not evidence that every element of the system is broken everywhere.

IMO the big issue is bail and pre-trial detention. Yes, criminal cases being in limbo is bad (and the constitutional right of speedy trial is important)-- but a lot of the reason why they take longer now than in the 18th century is because of additional protections for defendants.

An ordinary library can not scan a copy of a book and allow unlimited downloads of that scan from the web. The DMCA exemption doesn't allow that. Actually, archive.org got in trouble pretty recently because they were accused of doing almost just that. Their response was not that they had the right to do it but rather that they had never been doing it to begin with - that each copy given out was merely "lended" and backed for the duration of the lend by an actual physical copy in a partnering library.

Similarly, you will find a bunch of copyright software on there, including for recent DRM-free and cracked video games. Unfortunately, my impression is that the archive managers simply do not care about copyright. Anyone who wants to get something they own taken off the site has to put in quite a bit of work, similar to the old wild-west days of YouTube.

Only about 8% of the gold demand is from technology. The rest is used a speculation and for luxury goods which are only valuable because you expect someone to pay an equal amount of money or more than you did.

“Gold has two major shortcomings in that it is neither of much use nor productive. While gold does have some industrial and decorative purpose, the demand for these purposes is limited and unable to absorb the amount of new gold being mined. And if you own an ounce of gold for eternity, you still end up owning an ounce.” - Buffet

I run arb and loan liquidation bots, and have for over a year now. These are atomic transactions almost always using flash swaps/loans that exist only exist for the life of the transaction. I am only exposed to potential losses on transaction fees, but have never had a losing day while running production code. My yield on my investment (mostly infrastructure costs) is closer to 5,000%...per month. I will not lose my funds, whether the market is good or bad.

There are funds out there that conduct these activities, I know because I recently consulted for one. They are promising risk free returns and getting them.

There are things that exist in DeFi (such as flash loans) that have no real world equivalent, which is why blanket statements made about traditional markets don't necessarily apply. If used properly, these things do in fact offer "too good to be true" types of returns.
why do you need to argue for the existing society that mostly everbody agrees with. That'd make a boring movie.

It doesn't help that Netflix stands on principle and blocks all accounts in Russia, one of their major sources of subscriber growth. America, while being the most lucrative market, was already pretty saturated. Cutting off the countries with huge growth makes it extremely difficult to keep growing paying customers.

I'm having trouble with the power industry terminology.

* There's no information provided on the raw volume of this malware. Large fluctuations don't mean much with low volumes - if 50 machines were infected last month and 127 were infected this month, that's their 254% right there.

* The blog post is more or less an ad for "Microsoft Defender for Endpoint" and Microsoft Edge.

In what way do Javascript heavy SPAs reduce supply chain attacks vs a no-JS solution?
You are right about power density,

If only we had an absolutely massive fusion reactor that could passively manage its own containment.

It would be so powerful that one such nuclear reactor would produce millions of times more power than we could ever consume.

The reactor could be designed to run indefinitely. No fuel or decommissioning costs incurred.

We could site the reactor at a large enough distance from population centers that we would not need to deal with its waste.

We could decouple the reactor from power generation. Just use safe EM radiation to freely distribute power wherever it would be needed.

The reactor itself, perhaps funded by some benevolent quadrillionaire, having no operating costs would be literally "too cheap to meter".

> But the biggest long-term risk may be the unexpected tripping of solar resources during grid disturbances,

This is entirely the electricity grids own doing. They told everyone who wanted solar that they must use inverters that are super safe and self disconnect if anything unexpected happens. The regulations were written super tight, with frequency limits, harmonic limits, reactive power limits, rate of change of frequency limits, residual current limits, DC injection limits and vector shift detection requirements, presumably because rulemakers were hoping that having a massive thick rulebook would make rooftop solar too expensive. Unfortunately for them, all the complexity is pushed to software, and when that's written once it can be deployed lots almost free.

Fast forward 10 years, and this stuff is widely deployed, meeting all the very strict criteria. Except the grid only stays within those strict limits during the good times. When the grid is stressed, for example low frequency due to insufficient generation, it will go outside the frequency limit, and all rooftop solar generation statewide will disconnect all at once. And now the grid has lost gigawatts of solar production, making a minor incident far far worse. The end result is a cascading failure and within a matter of seconds half the state has a blackout.

Smart rulemakers back in the 2010's would have dropped islanding protection, and vector shift protection (they actively destabilise the network). They would also remove underfrequency protection (again - destabilises the network) and slacken substantially undervoltage protection.

The only protections important to leave in are rate of change of frequency (upwards only), overfrequency, and overvoltage.

What's ironic is there is a more sensible requirement they could have required to make rooftop solar cost more and add substantially to grid stability. They could have required solar systems have a load line equivalent to coal. That pretty much means if the grid frequency decreases, the solar systems must output more power. But solar can't output more power than the sun provides. So in turn, to meet this requirement all solar systems would have to be constantly throwing away say 10% of capacity, so that it could be delivered if and only if the frequency suddenly dropped.

At my day job the sales-side folks Zoom with customers all day to discuss financial API integrations. Every potential customer is different. They draw out everything in Whimsical, https://whimsical.com/, which has a very bare-bones aesthetic. It seems to work, they got to US$10M ARR in short order.

A negative interest rate decentralises money because your balance no longer grows automatically through interest and capital gains just because you have a lot of money, which is a self reinforcing feedback loop that concentrates ever more money at the top. If you want money, you are going to have to earn it yourself instead of letting others earn it on your behalf.

Of course, once you have solved the money question you notice that it is not just money that needs to be decentralised. Everything else, housing and the land it sits on must be decentralised. CO2 emission rights must be decentralised. Resource extraction rights must be decentralised. Intellectual property must be fixed. Taxes must be decentralised. Income earning/education opportunities must be decentralised.

It is kind of funny how solving all these challenges would get you to something one could call true anarchism, yet actual anarchist movements aren't even anywhere close to solving them or consider them important enough to solve. They just change the governance model and assume that the aforementioned problems will resolve themselves once people get to organize their society in this way.

All of this would bring us closer to a free(as in freedom) market. As it stands right now, most capitalists are happy calling this broken mess a free market. You're free to choose to not be allowed to legally exist. The truth is that it is a free market as in free of cost as there are so many tax loopholes to be exploited.
