This doesn't really matter since retail is the biggest loser of all of them, which makes my point that crypto is scam more clearer.

We both know that web3 is a space filled by VCs anyway and are always dumped on retail traders and the average person.

So yes it is a scam.
Good. Looks like this cycle has claimed tons of over leveraged VCs and deluded crypto bros and maxis thinking that Bitcoin will reach $100K last year. Instead they all got liquidated.

We were overdue a wiping out of these gamblers and speculators as regulations will be formed to limit or prevent having another UST, USDD and Celsius.

Either way the smart money takes advantage of the hype and prepares well in advance for the great possibility of a crash.
The problem is that you'd immediately have wrecks.

You are (mostly) wrong. The definitions of long Covid are indeed a bit inconsistent for now, but there’s evidence that both repeated infections do tend to be worse with the omicron variants (possibly due to t-cell exhaustion but I’m not sure if that’s the only factor), and that repeat exposures are at least not protective against long Covid (this isn’t settled science yet, and there are a lot of confounding variables, but the recent studies I’ve seen seem to put the risk of long Covid at somewhere between 5% and 30% each time you are infected). To the extent that there are good consistent definitions of long Covid, they tend to agree that neurological symptoms- including brain fog and reduced cognition, are frequent (not a majority, but still common) symptoms associated with long Covid. Looking at cognitive effects in particular, some UK studies estimate that the impact is actually quite a lot higher than is reported, and is common even in people with asymptomatic or very mild initial symptoms. I’ve seen at least one estimate that puts the impact of an asymptomatic Covid infection on the brain as being equivalent to 10 years of normal aging.

The cognitive effects don’t seem to be entirely evenly distributed- the impact is bigger on older (40+) people, and I’ve heard (but not read the study) that people with ADHD are also much more likely to experience cognitive issues after covid.

Covid is also not yet endemic. We are still in the pandemic phase- there is not yet a regular and predictable load of infections or a reasonable model for the evolutionary trend of variants. In any case, endemic does not mean not dangerous, it just means predictable and well understood.

Calling it a cold virus is also just a rhetorical trick to downplay the severity. Yes, some colds are caused by other coronaviruses, but covid19 remains far more severe on average than any of the other common coronavirus infections that we lump in with common colds.

Finally, it’s probably true on our current trajectory that most people will be infected multiple times, even people that work from home. Given the evidence of compounding risks, it’s still better to prevent whatever vectors of infection that you can. It also gives people more flexibility in their own risk tolerance. I’m still avoiding bars and restaurants, but many of my coworkers aren’t. If we were in an office I’d be obliged to take on a much higher level of risk due to unavoidable exposure to higher risk people.

I want to agree with you, deeply, but the number of people who fall for simple PR/advertising in today's world suggests otherwise.

I think we'd have a chance if they taught PR tricks in schools starting at a young age. Or at minimum, if websites that aggregate news would identify sources that financially benefit from you believing what they're saying.

Yup, that would work.

I wish the EU had gone with this solution rather than the current regulations. However I can’t help but feel that the “loopholes” in the current regulations were intentional. Politicians have a history of rolling out regulations that have giant loopholes for their corporate friends to exploit.
Ok it can go down a curb, but can it go up? I'd like to see that attempted.
Agree. More complex stuff where precedence is tricky can be done in a dictionary comprehension.
>> It’s amazing how often I see this “I am owed feature X” attitude… and I don’t get it.

I'm not being an entitled user here. OBS has several audio blocks including noise gate and some others that I used when I casually tried it out. Those were necessary to get my crappy microphone to sounds OK. I was baffled by the lack of an EQ and it turns out the project actively does not want one. My impression is that if someone submitted a pull request with that functionality they would reject it. Perhaps I'm wrong, but if I'm right that's (IMHO) really absurd.

BTW if I am wrong and they would accept it let me know, I might just take a stab at implementation.
No I’m seeing the mainstream left get bullied into becoming the activist left and the moderate leftists like myself are now suddenly closer on the spectrum to moderate conservatives, because the bulk of the left wing went to the left extreme.

Stop trying to reframe my experiences.
> You’re right there are gullible people who are more likely to believe things with limited or no evidence

Often the lack of evidence is the proof of whatever is being peddled. "No evidence for $foo? OF COURSE NOT! Because 'they' scrubbed it so you wouldn't be any wiser! But I have the 'truth' here... just sign up for my newsletter..."
Wouldn't that be an oil company? I think his point is that with liquid fuels you have more decentralisation and buffering of energy.
Second this.

I really like how he (Martin Kelppman) in the book starts with a primitive data structure for constructing a database design, and then evolves the system slowly and describes the various trade offs with building a database from the ground up.
That moves too slow. They could do a ton of damage in the time it takes for anti-trust measures to be placed on them.

That’s kind of the point I was trying to make.

You need to do that stuff before, or at the same time as, opening iOS. Otherwise we’ll just have a disaster.
even for local development, I tend to serve the HTTP server with nginx for adding HTTPS. Because many of the web APIs, like service worker, clipboard APIs, are only available in HTTPS context.
One could argue the successful legal action against IE bundling stopped Microsoft from further entrenching it in Windows. With Edge in Windows 10/11 you can see the kind of nudges that Microsoft probably wanted to add all along.

However, the US constitution explicitly states it is the supreme law and limits what congress and the states may pass unless they follow an amendment process.

The UK has no constitution for a Supreme Court to claim trumps parliament’s laws.

(That said, I understand that the Israeli high court has claimed the ability to overturn parliamentary laws despite Israel not having a constitution either, so perhaps there is a chance a UK court tries the same?)
meh. the reason i like HTTPS is it makes it difficult for unscrupulous ISPs to insert ads and code into my pages. and yeah. bad guys inserting nefarious cookies as well.

it's great the poster hasn't had to deal with such problems, and they're certainly not universal. but they're common enough to just do HTTPS and not worry about it.

also... https is adding half a second to load times? pretty sure this is what QUIC and HTTP/3 were designed for. or move your content to akamai or cloudfront or cloudflare or whatever CDN you're comfortable with.

My personal favourite is: "Have you considered X"

I also like to often prefix my suggestion with: "It might have missed something, but X", especially if it's a larger change.
I think you are presenting an idealized view of the past.

First of all, before the advent of AC in many places office workers (and a much smaller portion of the population worked in offices) weren't expected to function as though it wasn't so hot you couldn't think. In the past, when the summer got too hot, it was just unbearable and that was it. It was so uncomfortable that AC was installed everywhere as soon as it was available.

Yeah building design could be much better, but most old construction is also terribly ventilated. Entire rooms with no ventilation at all, windows that open to tiny air shafts with little air flow, absolutely terrible use of space, cramped kitchens... the list goes on. I have seen very few old apartments with what anybody would call "carefully considered layout".

I wish more building designers would acommodate NOT using AC too, but I don't think there are good old days to return to.
If you can ignore the incompleteness of black/women/LGBT civil rights movements and the current attacks on black/women/LGBT rights, there's a lot that can be done in things like mental illness (both mild and extreme forms), medical debt, disability, poverty traps, veterans, homeless, prisoners.
Essence Of Wild Turtle soon to appear in a pharmacy near you.
He's a public figure in a space full of attention seeking people. So, I can appreciate him just filtering out all the noise. Chances are he actually saw your message(s) and simply did not dignify it with a response. That's how I treat recruiter spam too.

The way through would be convincing a mutual acquaintance that you are actually worth his time. Probably he gets bombarded with requests to be on this or that podcasts, interviews, etc. So, your chance of success is pretty low. Basically, you are asking him to take time out of his schedule for you without any good reason beyond that that would please you.

He made some time for Lex Fridman at least. But that's someone that he might know and respect and someone with a huge audience.

Your sales pitch is horrible btw. That kind of messaging would turn me off as well. A little more humility might help you.

Probably not. The irony is that when you disable default browser features, sites can use this fact as a fingerprinting input, and it only makes your browser more unique.

I'd expect standard Firefox's protection + popular plugins to be good enough to reduce creepiness of everyday adtech. If you really don't like to be tracked, then the Tor browser may be a better bet. At least you'll look like every other Tor user, rather than stand out with your custom config and a niche-of-niches browser.

Mixed feelings on this. My issue with cameras off were mostly entirely with men, not women. I do not refer to a call out of the blue, but rather, a scheduled in advance team business meeting with multiple parties present. Men have no excuse here. They are always presentable if they have shaved. I didn't, and don't understand why men would not always agree to be seen.

Women, I grant that there is much more effort required on their part.. but here is the thing.. if it's a scheduled business meeting in the calendar, if it was on the physical premises, they would be spending the time anyway on their appearance. So, this is not additional time they would need to spend but already allocated time. So if they are at a remote site, they should still be presentable because they are in the workplace.

I rather like the EVM technology. I wouldn't mind some more centralized ones that can launch of the same things, because I just like deploying on and analyzing EVMs. Its pretty great as a developer tool for launching projects, and there are sooo many EVMs now that Vitalik isn't even relevant outside of the Ethereum EVM.

1. You don't 'lose' the pods. If your pod fails on liveness or readiness checks it restarts, over and over until it passes.

2. Depends on your team for sure. If you are on a team that's like "We'll just spin this up and it will be fine." you ignore the fact that 'things happen'. I've seen similar situations with companies that deploy on bare linux servers as well, some update breaks something or something isn't optimally configured. Things go wrong with systems, people who know the systems are needed to fix them. It sounds like if you intend on using kubernetes you should learn to troubleshoot it.

It's not difficult to find people who know how to actually run kubernetes, it's just hard to convince them to switch jobs for you. I get a decent numbers of cold, non recruiter, linkedin contacts a month, and frankly many recruiters... but my current job pays well and matches my worklife balance. Zero people who are reaching out from startups offer the whole package, they can usually come in fine on the money, but I'm not working a hundred hours a week with little to no support. On the 'established corporate enterprise' side of the house, they can be inflexible when it comes to vacation time, salary ranges etc. but I've found a good place.
The Disease After Tomorrow
I never got onto FB or TW et al.

I recently deleted 100% of my Reddit and Quora posts (10-15 years worth) - didn't even bother to save anything. Just better to pull the bandaid off fast. Such an improvement.

If I get bored and feel the urge to go online, I take a walk outside.

I'm seriously thinking about getting a dumb phone and tossing my iPhone entirely. I don't actually use it for more than literal phone and text. I disconnected e-mail on it a year ago. Of course, never had social media.

Note: I've been on the internet since it was called Arpanet and I was heavily involved in the 1G web. No stranger to being online but my views have its utility and value have changed - I now believe it's nearly the worst thing that has ever happened to humanity.
Not quite.

Oil in the ground is potential energy.

Oil being burned for heat to create power to run AC, is energy.

By not using energy by careful design, we can avoid wasting energy.
Batteries are a prerequisite to making other energy sources viable though. So you really do need to be comparing current energy sources to be acting in good faith because the presence of batteries make it possible to better exploit solar or wind energy.
Back in that day, Japan was not this hot. The situation in the recent couple of years are insane. It would be suicide to sleep without AC on now.

I am living in a rather old rented house in Tokyo. The owner was an old couple. A former carpenter and his wife who hated AC so much so the entire house was designed for that purpose. There's everything you mentioned plus 欄間(https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%AC%84%E9%96%93). The air flow of this house is just like you hoped to be. And now, it become suicide to live without AC on. This house isn't efficient for the AC because of the design you wrote. But I have to use AC in order to survive anyway.

The owner? They are living near my house, built a new modern house that is more air tight and insulated and constantly using... guess what? AC!

Also many have now spoken up against it:

### Electronic Freedom Foundation (EFF)
Apple’s restrictions on third-party browsers, and the limitations it puts on Safari/WebKit (its own browser tools) have hobbled “web apps,” which run seamlessly inside a browser. This means that app makers can’t deliver a single, browser-based app that works on all tablets and phones - they have to pay to develop separate apps for each mobile platform.

That also means that app users can’t just switch from one platform to another and access all their apps by typing a URL into a browser of their choice.

### Mozilla
Mozilla believes that major platforms should be under an on-going duty to:

Stop practices that distort competition on the merits and inhibit consumer choice, such as:
● interfering with consumer selection of alternative browsers and use of those browsers to access the internet from links and queries on their devices; and
● dictating or controlling browser components, such as browser engines, which prevent consumers from accessing and using their preferred browser across all operating systems and devices.

### Google
By contrast, PWAs—and the web writ-large—receive a small fraction of this support on iOS. This is primarily because of Apple’s requirement that all browsers use its proprietary WebKit browser engine. Not only does this prevent browsers from differentiating from Safari—Chrome is unable to access the user’s camera, preventing users from using products like Google Lens—it also harms user security. A recent study from Google’s Project Zero security research team found that WebKit is significantly slower than other browser engines to fix reported bugs.

### Microsoft
Apple requires that any mobile browsers on iOS, including those offered by Apple’s competitors (e.g., Google’s Chrome app), use Apple’s own WebKit browser engine. This restriction harms competition and consumers.

### Meta
Apple requires all web browsers on iOS to use WebKit, a degraded version of Apple’s Safari browser, to render web pages. Apple thus sets Safari as a functionality ceiling for mobile browsers on iOS. The restrictions on Safari’s and other iOS web browsers’ capabilities prevent web pages and web apps from providing consumers with robust, cross-platform experiences that would lower switching barriers

### Telegram
We suspect that Apple may be intentionally crippling its web apps to force its users to download more native apps where Apple is able to charge its 30% commission

> The size of macOS market is not relevant for the point being made here.

I disagree. There are already plenty of sites that are broken on macOS Safari because it's a niche platform. The only saving grace is that websites still have to support iOS Safari. If vendors were able to say "we only support Chrome" on iOS as well, I think that 60% macOS Safari marketshare would drop rapidly due to necessity.
When to Make Data-Driven Decision vs. Opinion-Based Decision
At the same time, being able to maintain productivity while handling questions is a skill in of its own. I work on a team building/maintaining internal tools/infra and a large part of my job is interfacing with other teams and maintaining productivity on my own work at the same time is a big part of my responsibility.

So it cuts both ways.
You know, that's a really great point. In some cases it seems to be cyclic with some artistic mediums falling into and out of fashion as major canvases for artists to express themselves.

Maybe music and movies are just on a downswing for a while, having been thoroughly explored by previous artists.
Any visual information that needs to be understood by a human doesn't scale. ASCII UMLs might scale slightly less well than, say, powerpoint UMLs, but having them right there in the code comment in cases that do fit is splendid.
Photos have been altered for much longer than 2 decades. Think of airbrushing models in magazines (used to be literal airbrushes painting over photos). This has had a serious impact on our perception of beauty and reality.
It's not like you can let someone run bare VMs without any production experience either. You need a PaaS for something like that, even then...

> Everyone used something like minicube to bring a kubernetes cluster online and believes it is simple.

This hasn't been my experience, and certainly the Kubernetes project doesn't advertise the software as "so simple anyone can do it" or any such thing. Kubernetes definitely requires experience--it's not a PaaS, but a framework on which something like a PaaS could be built.

USDD isn't like Terra. It's not actually an algorithmic stablecoin, it's just 'His Excellency' Justin Sun messing with people. There's no redemption mechanism (which is what lead to the UST collapse) and the creation is limited to a few authorized participants - notably Alameda. Sun can restore the peg pretty much at will for a few million bucks.
