The point is, with a certain rates of interest, inflation, and growth, paying mortgage from salary ends up cheaper than exchanging a house for shares. That's, kind of, why wealthy people tend to be wealthy: they do know that there is a difference. And do have this asset of "unallocated cash flow" that they'd rather sell instead of other assets.
It actually took me a minute to figure out what OP meant. I think it depends a lot on where you shop. And even somewhere like Wal-Mart, there's plenty of clothing available that doesn't have prominent branding and isn't "legible" clothing. I don't think finding men's clothing without branding is at all difficult, and it's actually easier the higher end you go.
But then why would they intentionally target a group who has little to no money and can’t legally buy their product? And somewhere juuls advertising style got twisted and any ad not showing an adult (read over 30) is targeting youths?

People will just keep using it. But you might be right that it is a net negative since it's mostly used for speculation... But, it's not completely useless (tell that to the criminals who use it regularly). Or people who own it because they don't want all their assets in a highly inflationary currency.
> Parks are now full of beautifully sculpted people playing frisbee where it used to be tie-dye wearing teenie boppeers or big Mexican families grilling.

There are plenty of neighborhood parks with people grilling and having birthday parties on the weekend? I think this might be a case of your choices creating your experiences, because if you go to Fiesta Gardens or the smaller neighborhood parks it's a much more family-oriented scene. (Zilker is mostly beautiful young people, but some of us are doing our part to inject an older and less sculpted element.)

It's true that Austin skews really young, and the later waves of migration have skewed much higher socio-economically. On the bright side, these new rich arrivals are tending to be much more friendly to policies that will allow less-rich people to live in Austin, such as density and affordable housing. Say what you want about the old chill progressive Austin hippies, but those folks helped create the affordability crisis by being and in most cases remaining to this day staunchly opposed to new multifamily housing. And say what you want about the rich young arrivals, but they're helping turn Austin around in that regard.
I have a contrarian view on cryptocurrencies: I don't think the blockchain is the biggest innovation. I think that Bitcoin is. And Bitcoin is more than just a blockchain.

However, I think blockchains are only useful for a single purpose: digital money. Every other use seems misplaced for me.
Boy, whoever's funding the negative press around cryptocurrencies, send some money my way... I'll find better arguments than void hate.
Even so, it's so easy to dismiss AI as "insentient" without any proof whatsoever - exactly because the definition of "sentience" is inherently subjective and cannot be measured in any meaningful way.

At some point, after AI becomes capable of passing all Turing tests known to men, people will have to deal with the fact that they don't know what "sentience" is, and I think at that point they will divide in two diametrically opposed clans:

1. those who believe that humans are nothing more than glorified bio-computers, and consider AI sentient

2. those who believe that sentience is human-only and that a machine can't be sentient, no matter how sentient it appears

And both groups will hold on to their views dogmatically, because there is no way to prove/disprove "sentience".
Supreme Court overturns Roe vs. Wade; states can ban abortion
On top of restricting women’s healthcare, there is also the lack of parental and sick leave laws, and extended disability leave for women who give birth. Probably a lack of adequate breastfeeding laws too. And of course, non existent min hourly and salaried wage laws.

I would never subject my wife/daughter to that kind of society, as long as I have the means not to.

> Is the Austin of today still anything like that?

No, but some things are the same. Austin still has this very friendly and curious vibe that encourages inquisitive exploration. The environment is still the same (the lakes, the greenbelts, the creeks and rivers) but they are more overrun with people now.

Some of the old Austin still exists but these places are slowly being replaced by condos, typically. For example, I just read that Dirty Martin's hamburgers is going to close.

The trick to finding Austin is not going to places like Uchi and Barley Swine and whatever dolled-up glam joint opens next week. No offense, but those places can fuck right off and you'll never find the real Austin there.

You have to go to places like Pollo Regio, or maybe talk to the waitress at the last Magnolia Cafe who's worked there for 25 years. Go to the G&S Lounge, try to have a conversation with Jimmy and not get kicked out. If he likes you then you're OK. Go to the Cloak Room bar across from the Texas capitol and ask the grizzled bartender to tell you wild stories about what goes on across the street.

Pre-internet Austin was cheap and an intellectually stimulating zoo, nestled within an extraordinarily beautiful natural environment. The low cost of living allowed the Slacker culture to thrive. That doesn't exist anymore, rent is too high which means everyone has to hustle constantly, but the friendly, curious vibe still exists.

Thanks for the advice, but I hate cardio and running and aerobic exercise especially. Bench pressing and "cardio but done 'worng'" - eg. heavy biking or thredmill running, but with rare/insufficient breathing. Maybe swimming.

Problem is I fee either afraid I'm doing the exercises wrong so I stop doing them, or I find others impractical (eg. swimming or freediving).

Probably I should research into anaerobic that are actually considered helpful or somethig, since my brain seems to dislike the least these low-oxigen-effort types of exercises. Dunno...

It's frustrating because all the exercise advice I find seems targeted at people that are practically a whole different species from me...

The core thinking behind the argument in this article is perhaps this:

This is my basic argument: blockchain does nothing to solve any existing problem with financial (or other) systems. Those problems are inherently economic and political, and have nothing to do with technology. And, more importantly, technology can’t solve economic and political problems.

It's the same issue with things like personal data protection and mass surveillance - everyone who claimed this could be solved by technology like Tor and onion routing has been proven wrong, and it's eminently clear that only reform of government policies, i.e. legal policy changes like enforceable data privacy laws, offers any real solution.
I've worn a 'uniform' based around Uniqlo's long sleeved tees for about 15 years now and I've noticed the quality drop off remarkably over the past few years.

A shirt will barely last a few months now, whilst I still occasionally wear a [much be-holed] first generation from way back when and it's kept its size, shape and still feels soft. New ones shrink and feel crunchy after a few washes. Oh, and they're about twice the price. Inflation, I guess.
Git is not what most people mean when they say blockchains (e.g. the decentralization of the blockchain and the use of the consensus algorithm is implied)
I'm not sure a meme should be "worth" 400 Billion dollars.

Or what else could you mean what the "more than just a blockchain" is?
It's always this. Every interview I've had is a quest for the interviewer to demonstrate they know more about the subject they quiz me about than I do. This is especially true with kubernetes, it's a vast project with many areas, but if you don't know whatever niche the interviewer is interested in, you will struggle.
Democratized access to money means that I can move my life savings as a refugee from a war torn country by just remembering 24 words. Access to a bank account doesn't preclude this need. Think corrupt countries like Ukraine or even Cambodia, Laos. There are banks, but they go belly up every week and new ones come up. If you think outside of the narrow scope of the first world, there are many unbanked folks that can benefit.

As for the rich affording tx fees, maybe a replacement for daily cash isn't everyone's use case? Maybe it doesn't have to be bitcoin? It can be one of many other cryptocurrencies that has low tx fees. There are places in the world where the volatility of crypto looks stable in comparison to the local geo-political and financial climate.

Cryptocurrencies offer the world a "splinter economy".

Having said all that, of course this stuff is not without issues that need addressing. Regulating this technology into oblivion isn't it though.

For physical tradecraft, there's lots of reading: old declassified manuals, certainly read non-fiction spy novels (though you have to be able to read between the lines in a lot of places). Billion Dollar Spy is a good one for tradecraft.

>The issues that Rust is supposed to help with are simply not what we spent time on.

There could be plenty of bugs in your codebase but just because you don't spend time on them doesn't mean they don't exist. Hundreds of millions of people used OpenSSL everyday for 2 years after the Heartbleed bug was introduced. It didn't cause any obviously broken code until someone exploited it to read credit card numbers off of a remote server.

All populations we have which come even close to the living standard a post scarcity world would have are below replacement level and the closer they come, to lower the amount of children. I wouldn't see why you would assume a growing population.

Not to be too blunt about this, but how much protection do we actually offer to biological sentient beings? Monkeys and dolphins get hunted frequently, and nobody seems to be all that bothered about keeping them in captivity either. Humans do plenty of terrible stuff to each other too. I could easily see people not being bothered by AI suffering either, as long as it's an "outgroup" AI aligned to some group you don't like.
I added a marker to match your style of editing.
I'd venture that the development slowdown from using rust is closer to 50% than 5%. Even just compile times probably slow down that much, not to mention you have to write (sometimes) as much as 10x code to express yourself.

The specific exercise I have in mind is a lockless thread queue. < 20 lines in C .. ~200 lines in Rust.
Plausible is a third party that logs visits for analytics purposes. An end user expresses their preference (eg, with some sort of blocking browser extension) that the site doesn't send details off to a third party. Then the analytics service provides an easy way to work around this preference, and if that's blocked again then they provide another way, etc. They explicitly work around the end user's choice.

Why does it matter what the reason is for the end user's preference? Or if the data is being stored in a way that's currently difficult to deobfuscate? It's ironic that the whole push is "end user privacy", ie something that benefits the end user, but multiple workarounds are offered when the end user (for whatever reason) doesn't want their visits logged on a third party.

I don't get it... aren't all transactions completely public on the blockchain? Isn't that the fundamental way it works? (Mixing services notwithstanding.)

Sure, your wallet isn't necessarily traceable to your identity, but the whole transaction history of your wallet is there, and if you ever convert those bitcoins to real cash, you're going to need to divulge that identity to someone.

We can't expect the general public to be very good at security.

I gave up on PGP, and most of my clients and I don't have an e2e encrypted chat or password manager service in common.

But at least I tell them to use a "burn after reading" post on an encrypted pastebin like 0bin.net for the secrets thing to send me.

It adds almost no complexity, best case scenario, you increase the security against bots since they would need to parse the link, visit the paste, trigger the Burn After Reading feature, interpret JS, extract the password and use it. That's already a pretty specific bot.

Most interceptions, even human, will be detected thanks to the burn after reading. And the password is never stored in the pastebin db since it's encrypted client side.

Worst case scenario, it's the same than a plain text email. Not much to loose.

It's easy to teach. Requires no install, little skill or tech, works in most corporate setup.

It's not good security. But it's better than abysmal security.

> If there are examples of 'Apple ignoring standards' actually meaning Chrome-only features please tell me one.

Easy.

The most obvious/glaring one is WebHID. Enjoy the timeline: https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/459

It's not just HID, of course. All/most of the hardware APIs are considered harmful by both Safari and Mozilla. Chrome is shipping them enabled by default, and there's no end to clueless developers moaning about this and calling Safari (mostly) and Firefox (from time to time) too slow in "moving the web forward". Needless to say that all those non-standards are pushed forward by Chrome.

The less obvious one is Constructable Stylesheets.

The spec had an obvious flaw that could lead to easily reproducible deadlocks. And that is on top with other issues with design, API naming etc. A team within Google (lit-html) wanted this feature, so Chrome shipped it against clear objections from both Safari and Firefox. And then refused to move the feature back under a flag because "0.8% of page views in Chrome" were suddenly using this feature. And proceded to gaslight other browsers' developers https://github.com/WICG/construct-stylesheets/issues/45. See e.g. a response to that https://github.com/WICG/construct-stylesheets/issues/45#issu... Of course there's now a "looking ahead" that wants to do exactly what Safari and Mozilla wanted to do in the first place: https://web.dev/constructable-stylesheets/#looking-ahead

In general, Chrome pushes 40 to over 100 new Web APIs with each release (that is, every two months). How many of them are actual standards that had actual input from other browser developers? In how many Chrome actually listened and implemented suggestions? https://web-confluence.appspot.com/#!/confluence

> 2. those who believe that sentience is human-only and that a machine can't be sentient, no matter how sentient it appears

Why stop there? There's no reason some humans couldn't be non-sentient, no matter how sentient they appear.

What possible test can you conduct to determine whether someone has subjective internal experience? I don't think it's possible. I think we just have to take people at their word: if they say they're sentient, we have to believe them. I don't see why machines should be held to a higher standard than humans.

As you get into the really expensive design stuff from brands, logos disappear. And of course, the people who buy the expensive stuff consider the cheaper stuff to be barbarian.
“Instead of a government blocking your bank account, they block your Coinbase account and all known addresses.”

This is only a problem because people use bitcoin to exchange cryptos for dollars ?

When more people are trading with cryptos only, the government won’t have much chance in stopping people using it for whatever they want ?

You won’t need coinbase…
And Monero is the only widely used coin that actually does this, the rest make things even less private because all transactions are publicly available on the blockchain.

That is incredibly hard, yes. But at least if you are ok with the overhead of GC or RC then this is a solved problem - the bug in question here wouldn't happen in Go/Swift/C#/Java/JavaScript/Python/Ruby/etc. And that is most software today.

(But when you need maximal performance and maximal safety then Rust is an incredible option!)
