I like your optimism but what crash? Things might get much worse. Or not.

There are many things happening at once.

One that I think people are underestimating is baby boomer money. They are retired/retiring. It doesn't feel comfortable with the same risk that was acceptable in the last decade. That will suck at an unprecedented amount of liquidity from the system.
Your experience is highly appreciated, I see your post came off in a different light, to answer the question, it could’ve been done in a way that only highlights the specific possible issue and not a straight-up “unusable” label in combination with an obvious plug for your own service
Organic dangerously commits the natural fallacy.

Up until very recently, organic included the use of rotenone, which is a 'naturally occurring' poison that causes parkinson's in mammals.

Modern synthetic pesticides are far, far from great but they're still better than their natural counterparts.
Isn't the Unifying encryption broken beyond recovery or something? Either way, more secure connections for something as critical as input data are very welcome IMHO.

That being said, for office work I'm satisfied with Bluetooth. No extra dongles is a huge plus, too.
Thanks for the report; we're tracking this on the public Github repo for Stripe Apps: https://github.com/stripe/stripe-apps/issues/608

You can follow that issue for updates (hopefully shortly!) and if you have additional details to add, adding them there will get them to the team directly.

Thanks again and sorry for the launch day bumps :)
> I don’t know anyone who’s retired from tech, do you? It seems most people burn out and then go and do something else.

These two sentences seem contradictory.
>I thought most if not all SSDs were already overprovisioned. Does additional overprovisioning help?

I think a big extra helping of overprovisioning is one of the major differences between consumer and enterprise SSDs.
specifically they said since 2004 productivity increases were only 1% per year. cloud computing/saas probably adds to productivity but not as much as converting from files to desktop computer systems.
I love LaTeX whole-heartedly. I never learned Word in college and wrote all my papers in LaTeX as an undergrad, just using its default styles. I write mathematical papers to myself, despite not being a mathematician. I found a LaTeX package that lays things out in the same style as old TSR D&D modules and I use that to write new dungeons. I wrote a book in markdown and used pandoc to output LaTeX and publish it through Amazon. I write silly scripts for my friends to do table reads from, using a LaTeX package. I write music scores of my composition in lilypond and one of my next projects is to combine it with LaTeX to print out books I can have on my piano.

Ultimately, I think wrestling with LaTeX is kind of like wrestling with programming. Over time, you just have to develop that sense of radar that tells you when you are over-implementing. In programming, it's the choice of whether to write custom or hunt for a library, or at a higher level, the build-vs-buy question. For LaTeX, it's whether to wrestle with custom commands or just search its stack exchange or hunt for a package. It's still easy to go down the wrong rabbit hole - last time it happened to me it was because I got obsessed with wondering if I could create nomographs in LaTeX, but luckily I discovered pynomo instead.

Brave search (and the Brave browser) are both great. As a longtime DDG user I think this is the final push I need to move on.
That's how it should work. What if instead, multibillion dollar exchanges that have a vested interest in keeping the price of crypto propped up instead paid Tether much smaller numbers to print out of thin air and create artificial demand during any price drops?
In terms of bandwidth or latency? All conditions, worst case, best case?
Not really.

Max throughput is around 6gbps with a fairly high latency. DDR5 has speeds of 52gbps, lower latency, AND your CPU will almost undoubtedly have a cache on it to increase that speed further.

This is all assuming you are putting your mem device on a pci-express bus.
> but I have no idea how to create monetary value doing something meaningful and productive.

Don't the consumers enjoy the products? You're giving them that enjoyment.
Yeah there's special tech for that! Has something to do with sending some frequency over the line and measuring how long it takes to "reflect" off of the breakage and back to the shore.

I would love a reboot of the Samsung Galaxy Folder 2[1]. Worked just like this phone, but looked way better, as it wasn't ruggedized and just a "normal" (well, as normal as a flip-phone can be today) phone.

Will probably never happen, though :D

Holy cow, a team running for 25 years? Thats almost an entire career.

I appreciate you being straightforward with priorities/goals (company’s THEN the individuals’). I think an awful lot of managers fail because they try to act like friends with their team and then get hit by the reality of whats expected of them and it gets real awkward at best.
Very cool; will try it out. Thanks!
I've been thinking about the possibility of "dumb" SSD devices.

All of the current HW-level performance hacks could actually get in the way if your software already enforces things like single writer, chunky writes and/or append-only log structures.

Give me a drive that only writes in 1 linear direction (until its full) and has a big red button to clean the entire thing all at once (which would clearly require some offline processing time & multiple disks for a realistic system).
Don't talk about open source if you don't understand it. Paid binaries are the oldest form of OSS monetization.

Is the source open and with a OSS-compatible licence? Then it's open source, not freeware nor shareware.

Your whole argument will fall down because of this weird mistake:

> Let's say you can buy the panels at $300 for easy math

You'er assuming ~1$/1W for solar not installed, you're off by almost 5 order. I bought 330w panels ~2 years ago for 165$ each, which is exactly 0.5$/W and currently I can find 0.38-0.45$ / W for more modern panels (> 400w, Mono Perc... where 0.38 or less for price per pallet not containers even) and this is for home usage without subsidies and in the middle of the price hikes we're facing. For utility scale you can expect it to be 0.18-0.3$ / Watt (0.18 is a real price offered from some Chinese companies for wholesale without shipping prices), so all in all 10GW of solar panels will cost $1.8-3 Billion give or take, so your $9 Billion figure could make ~ 30-40 GW or even more given the expected price reduction and/or efficiency increase of the solar panels.
Going by my experience, 100% of the people saying "do your own research" are either shills or they are getting into a project without having no idea of how things work. If people can explain easily and if it is a legit opportunity, they wouldn't be saying "do your research", this will just be accumulating as much as they could without making too much of a fuss about it.

Corollary: any coin that is on the up-and-up and you can not easily explain the tokenomics is worthless.
Logically it's a bent pipe from the POV of an individual terminal, right now, even if they're doing layer-2-like MAC/PHY stuff on the satellite. But I agree with you they are clearly not just dumb repeaters the same way that a transponder on a geostationary satellite is. The make-before-break and handoff between satellites for single antenna phased array terminal that can talk to 2 satellites at once requires more intelligence than that.

The satellites certainly are not full featured routers such as the capability you'd find in a modern 1U height ISP carrier router with enough CPU/RAM/FIB/RIB for full BGP tables.
In the horse age things like that were tried. It isn't practical to setup in a large scale, but if fuel prices continue to go up weird things might be more practical than fuel...
What if Tether has issued a substantial amount of USDT to people in exchange for either nothing or things that ultimately prove to be worth much less than $1/USDT issued?
While this is true, it's also true that the people who are doing the less-than-glamorous grunt work are often unrecognized by management (which arguably is a management problem).

I remember being at an all-hands company meeting years ago and listening carefully to what the people who were given the top awards got them for, and about three in a row were for diving in, working nights and weekends to come up with emergency fixes to save projects or products that had gone seriously wrong, and these were different projects. It was so blatant then even some senior managers finally noticed "Hey, we have a problem".
No, absolutely not everything is a tradeoff, many things like eating meat or going to a casino are a total waste of resources

My understanding is that while USDT isn't this $1:$1 ratio you describe, other stablecoins are, specifically USDC.

So what you're describing does exist, but isn't what USDT is. IMO the infatuation with USDT has always confused me a bit; why would anyone use USDT over USDC in the first place?
> Just don't call it "language" or the human exceptionalists will get very upset

We don't know what "language" is. This is an attempt to empirically construct that definition from the bottom up. Calling it "language" may saddle whatever's going on here with needless or even misleading assumptions.
I don't think this is true. Right now there are millions of Ukrainian refugees in Europe being welcomed with open arms, after millions upon million of muslim refugees have already entered the continent.
Ah true, I forgot about that. The N8 was one of the first devices where they fixed that.

It might be hard to love Logitech as a brand but I've been satisfied with a number of their products and keyboards and mice are important to me. I'm typing for hours a day so it matters. I'm getting older and arthritis sucks so a good mouse helps some. (Although the roller keyboard thing is cool and I'm playing with it some.) Logitech is making it a little weird with the different wireless dongles. For example the MX Master 3 Business mouse uses Bolt but the MX Master 3 uses the older one. And now the Logitech "options" software has the regular and the "beta" which seems to be more for Bolt. I'm not going to buy this keyboard for now since I have plenty. (My most recent was a Drop that was really fun to customize and put together. I can't use it as a "daily driver" because I rely on the extra numeric keypad for work but it's my "convertible" for sunny days!
I had little experience with Lisp until recently when I converted a few hundred lines of Lua to Fennel. I have a lot of experience with Python.

I've always been scared of Lisp syntax, but after just a little experience with it it all kind of fades away and it feels like an indentation-based language, while remaining very compact. Now I'm like "why aren't all higher-level languages lisps"?

Editor tooling definitely helps, but it's one of those "skill floor skill ceiling" ideas. Parenthesis-based syntax has a slightly higher "skill floor" (takes more effort to edit), but with editor tooling has a much higher "skill ceiling", where experts can move blocks at the level of syntax rather than characters. Even just vscode's new bracket highlighting and guides are a small feature but a big help to see structure.
Not just elders. Im 30 and I’ve long thought about buying a phone that is inconvenient enough to use that I don’t build habits around it - but still has mapping software, gig economy apps, and short-term rental apps to get myself out of a bind in the few cases I need those.

This phone is really tempting me. Bonus points that it’s built the way I feel devices should be: rugged. It would go well with my Panasonic Toughbook. Just not super eager to re-enter Google’s ecosystem.
You entirely missed the point made and are addressing a different point. By the way, who is more efficient at providing healthcare to the elderly: Medicare or the private sector or charities? Private health insurers fought hard to not have to spend as little of their budgets on salary and administrative costs as Medicare.
Why is invoicing a percentage and not a flat fee? Does it cost more to transact it?
A lot to unpack here.

1. Stripe is a private company, it hasn't IPO'd.

2. YC was an early investor in Stripe, but as a late stage company, Stripe has many, many stakeholders that are investors: https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/stripe/company_finan... to think that they're beholden to YC and would make business decisions for the sake of YC companies -- oof.
oof, why does crypto attract the shadiest type of businessmen?

Hum... Python have a simple advantage: easy to learn, being mostly imperative, especially for those who have a background (even very little) in such languages (most students) and it's quick to fire up and also present almost everywhere with pip and venv to help.

Racket is a far more powerful tool, but also less immediate to learn, especially for those who have a background with imperative languages, not fast at all to fire up and not easy to use as a glue for anything else.

Python is a kind of bridge from unix shell scripts not so many nowadays have practice with and a script-versed programming language. Racket is about programming in classical terms, with an unique ecosystem.

In that sense probably Smalltalk with Pharo or classic (old) Lisp with Emacs are more acceptable Python since they do not act as a glue but they are FAR more immediate to use and have a purpose on it's own behind programming: they are end-users programming environments, as Python is an end-user scripting tool.
I've seen some mighty big combine harvesters, but I've never seen one on tracks.

I agree with you and tialaramex above, and I was hesitating including it for this reason, but I think it is very useful as a thought experiment.

I find it a very elegant concept about complexity (even if not very practical), and wanted to share it regardless to be honest ;)
Code Injection with Dyld Interposing
This “as every farmer knows” is naive. Many farmers are smart and capable people but both them and the increasingly dominant ag-corporations are primarily interested in short term economic survival/success and are working within a system of often perverse incentives. Most farmers might not enjoy ruining their lands but plenty have done so, sometimes knowingly, because it works for them in the short term.
The person who bought the Bitcoin and sold the USDT is the Tether organization itself.

Here’s the same example, stated more explicitly:

1. I buy 10 USDT from Tether in exchange for $10 worth of Bitcoin. Tether now has 1:1 reserves of Bitcoin backing USDT.

2. The price of Bitcoin decreases by 50%. Tether no longer has enough reserves to cover all the USDT in circulation.

3. I want to sell my 10 USDT back to Tether and get my $10 worth of Bitcoin. But Tether only has $5 worth of Bitcoin in its reserves! USDT will lose its peg.

Theres a lot more if you don't mind stepping outside of fantasy themed games. Stuff like the Far Cry series, Cyberpunk 2077, The Outer Worlds, the Dying Light series, and the Metro series.

But in the fantasy realm you're right I can't think of anything since Skyrim off the top of my head thats open world AND first person.

The term is time domain reflectometry, TDR. It used to be really expensive, and now it's filtered down into medium-cost optical adapters.
Yes, IMO you should treat a crypto investment as requiring much more DD than a typical investment. You should have a thesis about why a given project is more likely than baseline to succeed, and you should have done enough research in the actual community of users (not just investor shills) to convince yourself that real people are actually using this thing reliably. There is just too much vaporware and outright scams to do otherwise.
That article about the athletic director is really bad. The BSA rules also state that adult volunteers cannot have relationships with the Scouts outside of Scouting where grooming could happen. Additionally, all communications (text messaging, emails, etc) have to follow the no private one-on-one rule.

I don't have any experience with any other youth organizations (as a youth or adult), but I hope they all have or adopt similar rules.

(I am Eagle Scout, and I still like to go camping and help others, and volunteering with my old Scout troop is a great way to do that.)
My understanding is that cortisol blood levels are not a good way to test for stress, as they're too variable.
Looks like a nice launch for apps that need lower latency for reads. A noticeable omission from the blog post is how these replicas impact consistency. Won't reads from read-only regions have a weaker consistency than you typically get with Vitess/PlanetScale? I'm guessing weaker than read-your-writes.
Syntax can be simple or complex, and - independently - easy or hard.

IMO Lisp's is hard, but simple; Python's is hard and complex.

Tooling can make it easier (keeping track of parentheses and significant whitespace, respectively), but not simpler.
And look at the incentives of all the individual parties in such a scenario.

I think this is the only way a "stablecoin" can function as designed... but it is not possible to construct an entity that has any scalable incentive to provide the backing that would create such a coin. For that entity, it is nothing but downside.

Therefore, stable coins are a fiction on par with perpetual motion machines. In the short term there's all sorts of perpetual motion and over unity machines... in the long term, not so much.
It seems odd that they'd use the word 'biggest' instead of 'most popular'. Wouldn't big = bloat?

Morrowind is a great achievement but there were other great obscure RPGs from this era. Namely JoWooD's Gothic.

In many ways it went beyond Morrowind. Morrowind was huge but it also had moments where it felt mostly text driven to get immersion.

In Gothic for instance, the levels feel incredibly organic and NPCs are doing stuff on their own. For instance, in the wild monsters would engage in combat with each other. Vast underground mining camps require no loading screen to enter and explore.

Have a look at Gothic if you liked Morrowind. The world is nowhere near as huge but the story, dynamic levels/npc, all combined create a fluid and very rewarding almost Skyrim like world in the early 2000s.
Great. In agreement, but help me understand how we went from lived experiences involving bigotry and abuse to crank medicine and con game victims? I added that boundary specifically so that cases like this wouldn't be brought up and used to counter-example.

> Skepticism is a rational and healthy habit.

Agreed. Veiled-skepticism is, however in the case of invalidating lived experience, a powerful gaslighting tool. Discerning between the two is an additional hurdle targets of bigotry and abuse see layered on top of them.
> There are not enough people like you to justify a product. If you like the keyboard great, but who is their target? People who have heard of “mechanical = good” and know the Logitech brand.

I bet this category easily outnumbers all massdrop hypebeasts or Cherry switch sommeliers out there.

In the same way that middle-upper class men who want a nice pair of headphones, vaguely remember that "high impedance = good" and know the Sennheiser brand easily outnumber audiophiles.
I was today years old when I learned Hetzner has its own undersea cables.
I completely disagree. Putting builtins on some special pedestal and demoting user-defined classes and functions is always a mistake IMO. I also don't see how this is a reasonable approach even in the cases you mention. If map is polymorphic, but I can't define polymorphic classes myself, it seems impossible to define classes that can hold arbitrary maps. So I can't even wrap map.

Also, if I'm reading https://go.dev/tour/moretypes/15 correctly, append is a variadic function and not a polymorphic function. That's something very different.
> whenever the price of Tethers drops to $0.99

If the Tether is pegged to the USD, who would ever sell one for $0.99?
I think blockchains still have a lot of value, not as currencies or assets, but as decentralized databases for supply chain tracking. We clearly have a lot of issues with our existing global supply chain, especially tracking the origin of every component that goes into things. Blockchain has a lot of legitimate uses for transparently tracking different components along their journey, from raw materials until they reach customers, and helping with industrial planning as well as proving compliance with regulations.

Planned economies haven't worked. Market economies have some clear inefficiencies and potentials for destabilizations. Applying data transparency and tracking to a market economy using supply chain blockchains has the potential to enable more decentralized planning to build better options.
This looks very interesting!

Given that you're purchasing 3-year RIs and then selling them on the marketplace, do you have stats on the risk of a listing not being purchased by someone for an extended period of time, and that eating into the potential savings?

> This is saving early customers over 50% in some cases

Does this 50% number account for the risk of unused RIs sitting unsold in the marketplace?

I saw in your docs that you're pursuing SOC2 compliance in 2022. Any updates on the timeline?

Do you take into account existing Savings Plan purchases and existing RIs that the account already has?
