> There's a Universal Declaration of Human Rights that could quite easily be applied as a baseline.

"Quite easily" is a stretch, that document is a well-intentioned mess. It omits rights that many take for granted, and the interpretation of many of them is highly subjective.

For instance, Article 10 gives everybody the right to a fair and public hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal. But it doesn't recognize the right to a trial by a jury of your peers.

Article 12 forbids attacks on somebody's honor or character. Does this mean calling a politician a lying scumbag is a violation of that politicians human rights? And how does this square with Article 19, which states that everybody has a right to freedom of expression?

Article 16 states that men and women have a right to get married, but the phrasing could be interpreted to only protect heterosexual marriages. (Probably provided by Article 2, but that could be debated.)

Article 25 states that mothers and children are entitled to special care and assistance, but says nothing of fathers. This seems to violate Article 2.

Article 26 says that elementary education shall be compulsory, but also states that parents have the right to decide what kind of education their children receive. Does that mean that Germany banning homeschooling is a violation of the rights of parents? Or maybe homeschooling itself a violation of a child's right to compulsory education? Can a parent choose to send their child to the "school of hard-knocks working in a coal mine"? What if instead of a coal mine, it's an illiterate tribal lifestyle with a high child mortality rate? Is a government compelled or forbidden to force native children into schools, as Canada and other countries infamously did in the past?

Article 27 seems to suggest that copyright and patent protections are a human right, but doesn't establish any limitations to this right. Are patents expiring after ~20 years a violation of the human rights of inventors?

Article 29 gives an escape clause allowing a democratic government to limit any of these rights whenever doing so is in the interest of morality, public order, or general welfare of the democratic society. What the hell does any of that mean in practice?

Article 30 can be interpreted to contradict Article 19, forbidding people from criticizing the Universal Declaration of Human Rights if they do so with the intent of destroying any these supposed human rights. Does that mean protesting against copyright is a violation of human rights?
The Patriot Act is a broad-ranging piece of legislation, and the anti-money laundering provisions in Title III are less controversial than other titles.
The model can and has been done successfully, see jet brains for a great example.
… and here all I wanted was updates to fusion and decent HBAs…
It's actually pretty straightforward: just wire in the relays (shift register required for ESP8266) then turn them on and off as desired. With your valves exposed via wifi to Home Assistant or MQTT the world is your oyster as far as using inputs (weather, rain, etc) to bring intelligence into your irrigation scheduling. I loosely followed this guide when I built mine: https://selfhostedhome.com/diy-wifi-sprinkler-controller-usi...
But by borrowing against the collateral (in this manner), you get some optionality along with the collateral's upside: if it crashes, you get to keep the amount you borrowed[1], thus hedging the loss. Plus any interest earned on it.

[1] Depending on the stablecoin's dependencies you might want to have converted it to dollars outside their platform first.
Best of luck. In the right company tech lead is a blast!
Ah... I had the priviledge to glimpse a tiny sliver of what he is writing about, that feeling of experiencing something that will be soon lost forever. People, culture, rituals, food, form of existence.

I did 6 months backpacking in India and Nepal in 2008 and 2010. Nepal was tame, relatively full of westerners(at least parts visited - Annapurna circuit in pre-season time, Kathmandu, Pokhara, Chitwan). But India could be wild in many ways. We went off popular places quite a bit and travelled and lived as close to natives as possible, and you could still find places where kids (or whole village) would look at you in awe and horror when you came, everybody would gather around you, touch you, bring you home for dinner and so on.

Those experiences in my late 20s shaped my personality more than anything else. I felt back then I was in another universe since forever, former existence just a memory of distant dream even if it was just 2 months into trip. All this pointed me later to directions in life that stood test of time as best choices of my life.

I still did it almost completely unplugged (well internet coffee max once every 2 weeks, super unreliable), no phone, no credit cards, just all cash i took with me on body belt.

This could be achieved on average monthly budget of +-500$ back then. But costs were growing maybe 20% every year.

Imagine what the original experience back then must have been...

As one friend with similar mindset, whom we found around Annapurna said back then - you can't share those stories with people back home. They don't understand the magic, the intensity, be it positive or negative. Often they don't even want to hear about it. But with similar person you feel you are member of same tribe, and they understand that smile when you tell stories much better...

> They're a private company and they have no obligation to you whatsoever

This is not really a bad thing, just treat them as a partner, they even do things for "free". They could stop working for/with you at any time, this shouldn't stop you for making the most out of the collaboration for now, but it's harder to plan for the long-term.
Those are 5150s. It's done when a person is considered an immediate risk. it's not just stanford that does this- it's a federal law. I know a person at berkeley who was suicidal and she was regularly 5150d (often shortly after she stopped taking her meds). if you're trying to use this as a point that "stanford=bad", please be aware that mental health issues are extremely serious and there is likely another explanation for what you consider to be nefarious data-hiding.
The big growing pain for XMPP was behavior when you had multiple clients connected simultaneously. Extensions were added to the standard that unified behavior around which clients received messages (today we'd assume all of them but that was more up in the air at the time) and tracking of read status across clients in order to highlight new messages. But during perhaps the heyday of XMPP the extension was not universally supported by even some popular clients, so multi-client functionality could be confusing and inconsistent, e.g. messages delivered to only one client for no clear reason. This is a pretty well solved problem today but, well, no one is using XMPP.
> I was also extremely puzzled by the dismissal of probabilistic or statistical models as being fuzzy or something. Probability has always been the domain of possibility

Perhaps you're just saying that probability is useful in some practical ways? Deutsch agrees (see video below). But if that's not all you're saying:

If the "domain of possibility" (which I interpret to refer to quantum mechanics and thermodynamics) can be described without the whole concept of probability, why not eliminate it? Why eliminate it, though? As Deutsch says "We don't need a reason: Physics likes to do without things"? [1]

You may say constructor theory adds new fundamental concepts. I don't know constructor theory so I don't know whether that's true. In cany case, what's not to like about probability concepts? In what way are they "fuzzy or something", as you put it? Deutsch points out here [2] (few minutes later in the same talk as the other link) a sense in which probability statements don't describe physical facts: for example "drawing to an inside straight is very risky" is logically consistent with any sequence of cards in a poker game. I think that's the "fuzziness" they want to eliminate from Physics. He then goes on to deal with some objections to that idea such as "in the long run, probability statements describe physical facts".

If the game of Physics is describing physical reality, and we don't need that specific kind of fuzziness, success would seem to me an advance in Physics.

Robinhood didn't have enough cash on hand for the business they are in.

It's not that brokers are required to wait for settlement. They can pay out as soon as the transaction is logged. They have the option of delaying until settlement, but big customers don't like that, so, usually, they don't. Online-only brokers tend to be sleazier about this.
Would it be to compete with one of their own product in such a major way and despite the integration MS did for Linux guests running on Hyper-V, yeah people would laugh. Not about them using Linux. About them having Hyper-V. Like we laughed about Visual SourceSafe.
There's no need to fight about Nigerian Prince email scams. Those who are not interested in losing their money can just ignore them, and those who are excited can keep sending money to shady people in hopes of promised payday they'll never see.

Future will show what will become of them.
That's understandable although of course doing things in YAML in ESPHome has the advantage that it will continue to work if HA is unavailable for some reason.
It's just too bad the current assumption is that the ID.1 will never be marketed in the US. VW is currently given the impression that nothing smaller than the ID.4 will likely ship to US dealers, which is a huge shame. I'd be somewhat tempted by an ID.3 right now. I'm extremely envious right now of all the small, basic European and Asian EVs that currently have no chance of being purchasable in the US.
I had this idea, too. The problem is exactly what you have stated. Then you have "trusted" nodes that hold the physical asset in hock until someone buys it. A bank, of sorts, to hold your valuables. This bank (and its associated trust) would issue the coinage once it receives the item in question.

Obviously the bank charges you for holding onto your goods (they have to make money somehow) and for the privilege of issuing you cash.

Then, you have to know your banker. Can you trust Muhammid from down the street to issue your coin? Maybe. 3rd party services would pop up, telling you whether a certain issuer had defaulted on delivering some hard good. Turns out Muhammid is a stand up guy, and he delivers when people come calling. So he takes your couch and sends you 799 LegitCoin.

Now Muhammid has options. He doesn't have to hold onto the couch. He has a couch that he valued at 799LC, but maybe he knows someone who would buy it for 815LC. This depends on whether the exchange is a loan or a sale.

[edit]

And what happens if you come back to Muhammid and he doesn't have your asset? Now you tell one of those 3rd party services. If there's a run on Bank Muhammid, and he defaults on everything, his coins are worthless. Now every coin he issued on the network is worthless. Just like small banks in the Western United States before we had the dollar.

Technically speaking, that means any node on the LegitCoin network can mint a node-specific coin. The value of that coin is not locked against any other coin. This necessitates exchanges and means to evaluate the value of said coins against each other.

Because of the cost of holding goods, most banks will hold high value assets; gold, land, rare goods, etc. And, because of the cost of holding those goods, only wealthier individuals will be able to trade assets for LegitCoin.

[/edit]

And so on. Crypto is simply reinventing existing monetary schemes.

Everything old is new again.
Goddammit I forgot AIM, that was the other one.

So by the time jabber and xmpp came around there were giant existing networks: AIM, ICQ, Messenger. Obviously none of them had any business reason to adopt an open, etc protocol.

Additionally even if they wanted to, actually doing it would likely have been a significant engineering challenge, due to the need to maintain compatibility between client versions.
Scheme is easy. Common Lisp it's a total distinct monster.
No, there's dozens of such tokens already but they're not going to replace Bitcoin. The "high" energy consumption is what keeps the network secure in PoW btw, it doesn't work any other way. You're going to see more "green" mining in the future and frankly the cheapest energy will always be overcapacity from renewable sources so that's where mining is going to gravitate towards even without the social pressure. Take farms in Iceland as an example.
We converted our Node.js library to Deno (using Deno)
The anti-gun rebuttal is that having that many guns around makes breaking the existing laws. I don't care how you do it (buybacks + making it much more cumbersome to get one seem like a good start), the end result that I'm after is that the US goes from 120 guns per capita to 30.
> 21 million per year, which wouldn't even make him a top 10 paid NFL quarterback and people are complaining about his pay for running one of the biggest companies in the world. If anything he is underpaid compared to other large tech company CEOs. People really just want to be outraged.

Or imagine this... they (athletes and CEOs) are ALL grossly overpaid. WOAH!! How out of touch with reality are you, if you think that's acceptable for any human to make that kind of money when majority of the world can hardly afford food.
Our country will only do better if some high skilled workers remain. With the cost of software development NZ can export development and this will improve our economy. That should help everyone here live better lives.

My standard of living is pretty good too.
Companies by their nature are driven by profit motives and in almost no circumstances have a positive impact on the world. They exist to exploit people and resources to the benefit of their owners. Even the most well meaning startups I've worked with eventual devolve into doing "harm with a smile" to their customers. In my experience, as a rule of thumb, the more altruistic the mission the more horrific the actual behavior (be more skeptical of CEO/Founders pitching a desire to "help people", it will start that way but one day you'll be selling your user info to big pharma to exploit them for every penny).

I've worked for the Federal Government, thinking it would provide some "good work", and I personally found that to be pretty off putting. Most of the people I interacted with were bureaucrats obsessed with defending and expanding the little bit of power they had, with very little interest in serving the public. However there were a high number of people who were seriously committed to changing the world. So if you want to meet some of these people government work can open some other doors (just bewared it might leave you ultimately disenchanted).

The best place I've found for doing "good" work is the odd, small team doing research at a university. I say this a someone who has a lot of frustrations with academia as well, but there are small pockets of people doing cool research to make the world better that need technical skill to help (academia is much better on the non-tenure faculty/staff side). This can be anything from biologists working to cure cancer to academic libraries building tools for students/the world. This is the most likely chance you have to be in a room filled with smart people all seriously interested in doing work for the benefit of the world. I have long hoped to find the right team to one day land on, but that will have to wait until later in my career because...

One major, major catch: expected to severely cut your comp. Salary information is public for both publicly funded universities and the federal government. Go look up what software engineers make at these places and you'll see sub-100k salaries are far more common than not. 15 years ago the gap wasn't as big (and the recession might send us back to that world), but today you have to really, really not care about comp.

I used to do meaningful work for universities, I had a lot of fun interacting with students and brainstorming with clever people not driven by any profit motive. Unfortunately the gap in pay became too much. I make more than 5 times what I used to back then, but do miss waking up in the morning as asking "what's the best thing I can do for the world with my time today?"
It's to take raw inputs and turn it into money. No one really wants telemarketing calls, or patent lawsuits but companies "produce" those things regardless to make money.
So, in other words, if you want cash quickly, you can borrow against an asset? (In this case, the unsettled proceeds of the stock sale.)

Good news: you can do that with smartcontracts too! (e.g. Compound/AAVE)
OpenShift is fantastic and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to any medium sized startup and up. I run it in my closet. Most medium sized startups end up building out an OpenShift-like K8s but they use 6 months to a year plus to do it.

Upgrades within major versions are totally painless, one-click affairs.

>but there's also gun laws like in California that affect large populations of gun owners.

Is your rebuttal that there are laws?

No, I just don't care. Guns should be a utility.

So, I guess my question to you is: aside from home defense (which surely requires a limited amount of rounds) and practice (which can be done by a range selling and enforcing no carry out of rounds, like in many other countries), what is your daily use case for firearms?

What's wrong with that? Sounds kind of fun IMHO. Clearly the ethics lessons didn't work for this fellow, but I don't think you should write off the entire camp because of that.
Pretty much this. "We created jobs" is just code for "We were forced to spend some money to make even more money".
In Doctor Who, one of the Series 12 (2020) stories had that twist, and what stands this story apart from almost all other uses of this trope is that the twist was not an ending, and we see how characters process that reveal.

Wunderlist

It was such a well made, beautiful app. Microsoft bought it and shut it down. They asked existing users to export their data over to MS Todo. The export and MS account creation didn't work for me even after multiple tries. Plus, Microsoft ToDo just didn't have the same feature set and aesthetics as Wunderlist, so I just moved on to another app.

It does not; you might be thinking of "justice." Even animals have a primal sense of fairness without the moral baggage (e.g. every dog gets one treat, etc.).

Here's some newer articles about recent and even ongoing sketchy behavior by Exxon:

When a company has literally decades of bad behavior (including multiple instances of being caught and then promising to do better and then being caught lying about it), it's a little hard to immediately accept at face value their most recent good deeds (especially since even some of them are already looking shady).
"Startups creating new money systems choose language with safer defaults" — what a headline, right?
JWTs are frequently stored in LocalStorage which means that any XSS is able to leak the JWT.

Cookies, on the other hand, can be configured to be HTTP-Only and inaccessible to JavaScript on the page. That prevents somebody with XSS from leaking the value without a second server-side vulnerability or weakness.

In addition, JWTs are impossible to revoke without revoking _all_ sessions. This is the biggest weakness, imo, and the reason that they shouldn't be used client-side.

The lack of monetization was mostly on Docker itself as far as I can tell. For example, they could have offered secure container supply chains years ago. Instead, companies like JFrog got there first. Public cloud container repos are another example. Amazon and others got there first with products like ECS.
