I'm not saying I have a PHD in the subject, but reading some of the works from the likes of John Lott and Gary Kleck.

Why do you ask?
During the 19th century, the gold standard led to crazy inflation as new gold was found, followed by crazy deflation as the gold strikes got used up. Farmers were struggling because the money they borrowed to be able to grow crops would drop so much in value by harvest time.

This is what William Jennings Bryan's "Cross of Gold" speech was about: he was pushing for the free coinage of silver at a ratio of silver to gold of 16 to 1. This would have increased the money supply (silver as well as gold would be money) and replaced a deflationary environment to an inflationary one. Now, you can argue that this proposal was a gimmick and argue about whether it would have worked. But the point remains that the gold standard as implemented in the 19th century was a disaster for debtors and farmers had to borrow every year, unless new gold was discovered somewhere recently.

There's really no debate here. I'm right. A capability is defined as I have defined it. You can say "well Fuschia says otherwise", that's fine, people are wrong about things all the time. Such is life.

Of course I've spent this entire thread explaining a clearly defined term, was that not obvious?

And yes, rotation is relevant to capabilities because leaking capabilities is a critical failure. It's not the only way to protect capabilities though, you can add ACLs or namespaces, which is what Fuschia seems to do.
It feels to me like a logical conclusion would be to have a government manage such a stablecoin. But at that point, it's just normal money but less convenient.
I see. Now I understand that when earlier you were adding the "in and of itself" qualifier to "exists", you meant the same thing by what I would call "exists at an ontologically fundamental level". I agree with that.

However, note that in my original post I didn't claim that physical laws describe what exists at an ontologically fundamental level, just what exists in reality. And by that I mean "exists" in the non-subjective way that, say, hydrogen atoms exist. I wouldn't mean to imply that hydrogen atoms are irreducible.

Does Deutsch and his research group make claims to know what is ontologically irreducible? Not as far as I know, but I am open to correction!
I think you have a point. But the number of openings is a way easier thing to measure than the number of jobs, because you can just scrape public job boards. I think the goal of the post was to bring at least some data to the many anecdotes about Rust being so permeated by crypto (and personal experience agrees with that).
I dunno.

Personally I see a lot of great videos on YouTube although it is all non-fiction and music videos.

Maybe it is because I never log into YouTube or maybe because of the subjects I am into. When it comes to militaria, I never get tired of people like Raymond Szimanski and a number of new stars have come up since the 2022 phase of the Russia-Ukraine war.

OK, yes I'm a somewhat bitter when I hear about stories like this. Brings me back to the iPhone App store "early" days.

>Or you can grab some torches and sharp objects and hold them to his throat and change the terms of the negotiation.

Do all of your employees at From Day One own a portion of the company? Why shouldn't they "hold sharp objects to your throat", as the founder, to get a better deal than what they agreed to? If not, why not?
Articles like this often inspire wishful thinking (aka - if I bookmark this page or highlight its content, I know have access to all the mental models).

I find mental models like knowledge in general - useful only if you can find the relevant entry *when needed*.
They're not useful if just collected on a shelf but ingrained into memory and lived as everyday live.
That being said, first step of ingraining useful mental models is to write them down (hence, [my mental models](https://kevinslin.com/notes/LMpLWbLBIfRzkSjJlF7U1)).

I used to use AppViz 1 and 2 by Ideaswarm until I switched harddrives and forgot to back up that one particular program in 2020. Its gone forever now. There are no downloads anywhere and there is no alternative offline programs that work the same.

Yeah, even though it's S-stock and so there's actually a reasonable walk inside the train of about a hundred metres (the S-stock are continuous inside, passengers can and do easily walk from one carriage to the next, the deeper Tube trains aren't yet like this although a future new stock for the deeper lines will also be continuous) this is cheating.

If I say I walked from Waterloo to Clapham Junction in five minutes, that's astonishing, but if I "walked" inside a 12-car configuration of Desiro 450s (a four car multiple unit that is designed so that you can assemble two or three together into a single train, passengers can walk the entire length of the resulting train) then the claim to have "walked" was bullshit.
That's what I do to people who send me lots of invalid DMCA notices. They get put on my SPAM filter and get a notification that they can snailmail me their removal requests in the future.

Most of them don't notice because it's DMCA bots anyways. The way I see it I have no obligation to read your mail if you have a history of just wasting my time.

I'm not in the US and probably wouldn't recommend anyone to do the same, unless they're themselves absolutely sure their legal system will have their back.
We already have SAF and electric planes on the horizon. What's wrong with people that they want to unnecessarily destroy so much in the name of environmentalism?
I felt the same reading this. Seems like everything analytics/data is like this these days. You have to read things multiple times over to either translate the abstractions and ball-hiding into plain English, or until you recognize that there is no point and it's mostly stream-of-thought rambling. See especially: anything data mesh.
Funny, it seems that conservatives want to regulate big tech, regulating big tech is broadly popular.

Trying to lower inflation in the short term is one of the worst ideas I’ve heard in a long time. There are two ways it ends badly: (1) subsidize, subsidize, subsidize, driving up the national debt and driving down the value of the dollar - pouring gasoline on the fire. (2) stop inflation by crashing the economy, that works in the short term but they will next feel they have to do something about the recession so they’ll stomp on the gas again and then get more inflation later…

Maybe the real problem is we’ve been thinking short term all this time.

So we lived three houses from a registered sex offender when we were raising our kids. We didn't burn his house down. We didn't try to get him fired. We did limit which direction our daughters were permitted to ride their bikes in.

It's not all or nothing. He can be out of prison, he can have a house, he can get a job. Other parents on the street can make informed decisions about the risks to their children in whatever fashion they deem appropriate.
Yes it seems to me they have taken the same approach as AWS Aurora. Use Postgres frontend and query parsing and replace the storage layer and query execution with their own.
To build on another commenter's mention of perverse incentives:

I've thought about this a lot. I think, regardless of what we say, at a foundational level humans operate on incentives. Billing by the hour creates the following incentive: The more hours you spend on the project, the more money you earn. Period.

I know our high-level business brains will rationalize this away in our marketing:

"Now my friend, you know it wouldn't make sense for me to over-bill you, because I want you to be a happy client! I will hard and efficiently for you!"

But no matter what words are said, in the back of our lizard brains, we all know that another hour on the project means another [$10|$100|$1000], and that creates a reward system for the person billing.

The only time hourly billing should really be used is when time-based labor itself is the thing being bought and sold -- a retail worker, a security guard, etc. They are being paid for butt-in-seat time. The incentives line up -- the longer they stay butt-in-seat, the more money they earn! (Which is what the buyer wants too.)

I don't have the perfect solution for consultants/knowledge-workers, but something closer to value-based pricing (with appropriate accommodations for bad time estimates, etc.) feels like the right direction.

The interesting question is how lenders will react to a US forced Russian default.

Will they see Russia as a risky bet, or simply avoid relying on US banks to facilitate the loan?
Chris Do's work was my introduction to this concept, perhaps you might find it equally helpful.

This is one of his lectures on value based pricing, but he has a number of them that are informative on the concept in different ways:

Search for games supporting local multiplayer in steam, then look them up on https://www.co-optimus.com/ to see how many players they support.
You shouldn’t realistically expect to charge customers according to value delivered to their company. You’re still selling services on an open market, competing against other contractors and their pricing.

Nobody is really interested in handing a services provider more money than necessary to get the job done at market rates, so even value-based bidding ends up coming back around to market rate pricing.

You can always ask, of course, but at the end of the day any rational company is still going to evaluate your proposal against their other bids from other contractors.

I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”
-- Ozymandius by P.B. Shelley

That last article equates merely seeing content on the internet you'd rather not with "harm" and it is impossible to take seriously as a result. Additionally, there is a very simple solution to this problem, and it uses tech every social network in the world already has: categorization, as used when determining which ads follow which content.

As to the first amendment concerns, OK. We tie the section 230 protections to keeping their hands off the delete key instead. There are no first amendment concerns for holding nigh-monopolist social media companies responsible for the libelous, threatening, defamatory, terroristic content they choose to host every day.

These companies are not good faith actors. It is time to stop treating them as such.

Speculation: alloydb probably has both a row store and a column store and some fancy logic to decide which one to use. That's usually what HTAP means.

In very broad strokes, columnar data stores struggle if you select many columns.
>If I sell stock through my stockbroker, I can have funds in a bank account within hours. You ought to be able to sell BTC and get funds in your account in Chase or Barclays via wire transfer within hours.

This sounds false on several levels. Stock settlement occurs 2 days after the trade executes. Then transferring the money from the brokerage to the bank account via ACH takes 3 business days. Some brokerages may call the cash settled after 1 day, but the ACH still takes multiple days to land in your bank account.

Wire transfers often come with fees outside of Credit Unions who may generously waive it but the cutoff time is 5PM EST at best and in some cases earlier than that, otherwise you need to wait until the next business day.
I am talking about futures not shorting, no borrowing fee if you don’t do it on margin.
It only opened a couple of days ago, so there's that, but I think you can expect it to remain in similar condition, notwithstanding wear-and tear for some considerable time. Graffiti is rare on the London underground, and is generally removed quickly.

I believe London also has a significantly lower number of homeless people, although comparable statistics are hard to find.

Sounds like an excuse for further expansion of the system. "all businesses must scan and report content and etc..." (see Apple's recent cp scan controversy). They are more likely to double down on it than admit they were wrong.

I'm skeptical the system was made to protect the common gentry anyways. Besides, relying on surveillance to stop these sorts of things sounds like Bad Engineering -- it is certainly not the most cost effective solution if privacy is of any value.

But I thought I'd give an example of how what Bolt did made sense in some rare cases, and is also extremely dangerous in almost all cases

I worked for 4 years as a Staff Engineer for a company that went public beyond my wildest dreams. I have worked for startups over 20 years and this was the first time it paid off for me.

I had a mix of RSUs and ISOs. The value of those when the company went public (shortly before I became fully vested) was over 2.5 million. All in all, I made about 3 million dollars (I stayed an additional 6 month and left once I hit 4 years).

Taxes ate a huge portion (left with 1.8 Million after taxes). Had I early exercised the ISOs, I would have conceivably paid about 700K less in taxes (if I had early exercised and pain 200K or so in taxes)

So something similar to the option that Bolt provided would have given me 500-700K additional.

Sounds good, right?

However, keep in mind most startups fail, and very few do as well as the one I was in did (I've worked for ~6 companies over the course of my career). The first one struck big, but I didn't sell (I could have made 100K after taxes when I was very young) and then the first dot com crash happened and that was that.

And then this one.

Let's look at what would have happened had I had an option like Bolt gave employees and the company had not gone public or worse, got laid off. I would have owed over 200K on a loan taken against stock that was now worthless.

So the pragmatist in me things that making an extra 750K on the 1/10 chances that the company IPO'ed and did well, vs a 9/10 chance that I would owe 200K.

Now, keep in mind I worked with people who were on their 2nd, 3rd successful startup and could afford to pay 200K in taxes on stock that might never pan out. The risk for them was "that sucks!". The risk for me would have been bankruptcy.

If you cannot afford to early exercise and take the tax hit if it does not pan out, you definitely, definitely cannot afford to take out a loan to early exercise your stock.

I spent much of my career billing hours though I had no incentive to be more than 75% or so utilized (i.e., 30 hours per week) however the firm had a system where you would be minimally rewarded if you exceeded 100% utilization though it was difficult to guarantee hitting that threshold (e.g., if you were at 110% and the project ended before the end of the quarter and you had a slow week or two, you received zero bonus)

As such, I deliberately worked between 70% and 80% during my years there as it seemed only chumps went for the small bonus

Interestingly, I billed around $400/hour back then and they collected on pretty much all of it though I made about 10-15% of that rate personally...
Probably because prostitutes are on Tinder now and poverty drives them to such behavior. You will have a tougher time in more economically advanced countries compared to one popular hotspot which you are talking about.

Also why fly 4000 miles just to have sex? Why not just pay for a companion here?

As an asexual I don't really understand this. My friends are constantly rambling on or making remarks about how so and so would make a good potential lay. I guess its about quantity and more can be had at lower rates, especially in poverty stricken countries.

I suppose if you sold your company and your portfolio is earning several million dollars to tens of millions of dollars its easy to be sugar daddy to a college student and it seems like its culturally accepted here.

Makes sense why there is such strong calls for abortion rights, something like this would be unimaginable in some cultures and I can see why but then again I don't quite agree with trying to oppress individuals from choice.

This part of human society, I just do not understand. For instance, I don't understand why so much of the population would be so driven to have sex or have romances.
It's just a less lethal form of SWAT'ing, which has been done. "Trigger a response targeted at the person I'm attacking frome someone or something stronger than I or them ..."

Desalinization plants are horrible for the environment. In short they destroy the water environment around them because they dispose of the waste left after the water is extracted from the salt water right back into the ocean. Raising the salt level to a point where few animals can live in the water.

My question is can this process be scaled to the point of replacing the standard desalinization plant?
Fixed bid contracts are riskier than per hour contracts. There is the risk that you underestimate the project and have to work for free. There is also the reward when you overestimate the effort, the client accepts the bid, and then you get paid for doing nothing. The key for being successful with fixed bid contracts is responsible estimation and communicating that to the client.

For maintenance work it's almost always per hour unless you can negotiate a retainer policy. Back when I worked on contracts a not uncommon arrangement was a hybrid approach with the fixed bid deliverable and a pool of maintenance hours on the back end that were essentially options for the client.
