Sure but what if the US govt decided to launch a 51% attack on btc anyway?

I don't argue that blockchain tech will keep improving. I just say if it's going to be a currency of the future why do we have to spend money on it now? Won't we be able to create parallel blockchains to increase token supply? It's not an intrinsically valued asset, like buying a stock (which some have returned more money than speculative bitcoin purchasing). Why should the bitcoin believers tell everybody to buy it if there's nobody accepting it for payments?

This is definitely true. Although it's a bit extreme to not refill a disposable bottle once or twice, you should instead buy a bottle that is meant to be refilled and not buy bottled water if it can be avoided.

What I'm curious about is what you thought that said about the entire country of Indonesia, so much so that nothing else needed to be said. (Even assuming that the BPA claim is false.)
"And AI isn't all that different from us in the way it learns."

Citation, as they say, is needed.

We have some vague ideas of how brains learn. We have some vague ideas of how GPT-3 works. They are not the same vague ideas. Is reality congruent? Nobody knows. There is certainly no existence proof of human- or gorilla- equivalency.
Hey all, good afternoon here from the East Coast. I am a 11 year plus full stack software engineer looking for new opportunities. I invite all to check out my small blog and my GitHub as I am rather proud of all my documentation there. Some things notable about myself I was basically a founding engineer with Signal Foundation and myself came up with the name change "TextSecure" to "Signal". Also as far as I am aware I had the first OSS implementation of a limit order book online and my Ethereum exploit write-up is IMO pretty cool.

Not that new, Xara, Watcom, and Palm’s Binder among others are much earlier examples, but this particular spin seems to be recent. While I dislike it as much as I do any other instance of spin, in terms of preservation I’d argue it is much better than dead and gone. It’s hilariously hard to find some pieces of 20-year-old-software, even those from major, still-extant publishers that were freely redistributable and supposedly mirrored all over various FTP sites (anybody got a copy of Wx86[1] for the Alpha? :). I shudder to think how hard it’s going to be to locate things from this era of online updates and no download links a decade or two hence.

> The job of the CEO is to keep the firm going, not to make employees happy

lol. keep pissing off employees and see how long you can 'keep the firm going'.

that mindset makes no damn sense.
Well, it's available resources about building and delivering an effective curricula across subjects and time. I have found a number of homeschooling resources, but the best organized efforts tend to be from religious perspectives (not surprising). We're not religious. My being an atheist and my wife being best described as irreligious (doesn't identify with a religion and puts approximately zero thought into the question) means much of that religious perspective is unwanted and is something I would consider detrimental. That I do seriously consider homeschooling should also make it evident that I reject public schooling as a good option; there are a number of reasons but your question implicitly assumes that to be true so I'll just restate it for others.

We do have relatives that have successfully homeschooled and I have seen groups that do their homeschooling together (homeschooling isn't necessarily about sitting at home by yourselves). So it's resources/support targeted to delivering a well-rounded homeschooled education, it's finding sufficiently like-minded others with whom to share the effort in a small group setting. With sufficient resources I could likely solve the time problem.

Absent that, we're looking at private schools for our kid. We'd probably just do this, but it's not a cheap alternative.
As someone who was homeschooled through 6th grade and then private schooled and considering homeschool for early elementary (I have a 4 year old) I would say my main concern is actually in my wife's ability to maintain a parent/teacher balance right now.

What I mean by this is simply wearing two hats in the household is a tricky business and can be overwhelming especially when our young students have younger siblings that must be cared for. I have enormous respect for my wife but handling these responsibilities is no easy feat!

Of course my kids are very young. I have other concerns beyond elementary, mostly around an increasing need for expertise in sciences/math and properly rigorous testing ensuring mastery over subjects without access to a realistic grade curve.

My personal experience was very good but a bit unrealistic - I was taught to read by my mom who has taught kindergarten for decades. Not everyone has a professional educator as their homeschool teacher!
You have no idea what you're talking about, and don't even understand the relationship between the executive branch and the DoD, which is a cabinet level department with the President as literal "commander in chief". You also don't understand the basics of the Joint Chiefs of Staff or anything else. When the Bin Laden raid was executed, it was Obama who evaluated the plan and risked his presidency by signing off on it. I, and most of the country, gave him credit for that.

Partisans will blame the person they didn't vote for if things go bad, and act like they had no control if they go well. If it's the person they voted for, if things go well it's due to strategic genius. Bad? They had no control over it and nothing to do with it. That's you.

The statement you wrote feels like extremely motivated reasoning by somebody who, like me, voted for a person, but unlike me, feels the need to defend said person and absolve them of all blame.

Nobody in the Pentagon was fired. Not one person. They couldn't be blamed, because the bad decisions came from the administration. "Check your facts" is a funny statement from someone who offered zero themselves.
I've worked in advertising on the creative/client facing side, no one cares if their ad gets disliked. Engagement is engagement.

Don't think that's the reason.
Such a stupid move.

Everyone knows what a vegetarian sausage is, no meat eater is accidentally buying it thinking it is something it's not and it helps people identify what the thing is.

What else are you going to call it? It's the obvious name because that is what it is, the words should evolve to describe the type of thing it is, not that it needs to include meat in it.

Sausage is used to describe the shape, hence sausage dogs.

At most all the law needs to be is to make sure instead of just 'sausage' is used that it has to be 'vegan sausage' or 'vegetarian sausage' if it doesn't have meat, if you must put a law around this.

Not saying he's wrong here but... I'm curious why the world puts so much weight in the opinions of investment billionaires on topics they seemingly have no formal experience in.

There seems to be this implicit believe in society that wealth implies superpowers across a spectrum of topics, especially politics. Personally getting tired of all the opinions from guys like Soros, Dalio, and Ackman -- the cynic in me can't help but wonder whether these types of articles are an earnest attempt at public policy, or just a veiled bull case for their next investment thesis.
As I recall it wasn't "to stick it to the environmentalists", it was simply preservationist thinking. They didn't want something they saw as scarce & useful destroyed, the same way you might prefer to sell your old laptop to someone who will appreciate it and re-use it vs someone who wants to melt it.
Good question!

In theory, reclaiming gases that are still unrestricted for production/import is at least as good as destruction from a climate perspective. However, virgin refrigerant is really cheap until import bans take hold -- so there is never a point where it is both economically worthwhile and impactful for climate. In theory you could use credits to boost the economics around reclaim but you end up with a very messy additionality story. My sense is that most reclaimers are very low-margin or even loss leaders for the companies that produce/sell the gas!

Anyway the short answer is that it's harder for us to figure out in this first push, but we do intend to look into it more closely as we expand.
Is it possible to deactivate these gasses in situ ? I could see that being more successful than transportation, but I know nothing about the chemistry...
Only as a reference on the history of tontines:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tontine
I'm glad to see someone taking the initiative to mitigate this problem. I also wonder how much "canned air" dusters contribute overall. If I recall correctly, they're commonly just HFC-134a in a can. But because it's not used as a refrigerant, it's outside the EPA's purview and can just be sprayed into the atmosphere willy-nilly. Using one can is more or less equivalent to venting the refrigerant from a car's AC, yet for some reason it's a common practice.
Yeah I wondered if this was some kind of “traditional” construction with modern style. But water-based masonry seems like a suspect choice in a rainy climate.

On the other hand I was wrong once back in the 90s.

Thanks for the link.
More pressure means stricter requirements for all of those non-obvious steps like bending and soldering, and specialized hardware for things like joints and bearing.

Both of those mean specialized factories, supply chains, and labor. AKA higher prices unless it becomes the dominant option.

Also, in larger systems higher pressures is a safety concern.

None of that is a showstopper. But those are severe hindrances for a technology. A government can just fix every one of them, but then it would require government involvement.
> So Riccitiello said no layoffs were coming and then in less than a month started layoffs.

This isn't a statement of how good or bad of a leader Riccitiello is. Sorry, but "we're thinking about maybe, possibly doing some layoffs if whatever" is a really bad way to run a company. The answer is, and always should be, "No layoffs" until the decision is made to do layoffs, and then you do it as fast as the law allows to very quickly clear uncertainty. Layoffs suck, but telling everyone, "hey, I'm thinking we might do a round of layoffs next week" is a great way to make the damage far worse.

It’s interesting because I actually have observed that homeschooling, especially in large urban areas, is much more social than school.

A huge number of families opt out of public school because of racism and bullying.

Just like families can design their child’s education, they can design their social experiences.

School is a socially engineered environment with little opportunity for organic play.

In traditional school, kids sit in rows or at tables in same age classrooms (often not very diverse ones since they are segregated by neighborhood in public school or parent ability to pay in private school)and they get 30 minute of highly chaotic recess a day if they’re lucky.

In homeschool , families participate in highly diverse, eclectic group of children of different ages. They engage in playgroups and community gatherings, field trips, classes, collaborative projects and have plenty of time for play.

The idea that homeschooling is less social is a myth - and as the homeschool population grows increasing opportunities for organic social interactions and true community emerge.

Here’s some more that I’ve written on this topic
https://manisharoses.medium.com/highly-social-homeschooling-...
> It's about interacting with a broader group of people

A cohort within 12 months in age, typically from the same neighborhood, is not a "broader group of people".
Every VC blogpost is done for marketing. They sell a commodity product (money) so, just like Coke or Tide detergent, they need to differentiate based on brand.
Horseshit.

Fire up search on the bottom on the page and tell me what percent of "archived" sites don't require JS at all (so don't have any "pay us or fu" overlays popping up). I can tell you right now that 0% of those tracking-infested archive.ph copies of original sites work without JS on Firefox on Linux and certain other configurations.

As in: without JS, you can't see the stolen content on archive.ph while you can see it w/o JS (in most cases) under original addresses.

One of the errors the authors presented was

‘Stay or go?’ Hong Kong’s handover generation faces tough choice
In most cases the life insurance is for the loved ones to continue their life in a reasonable way in case you die from illness or accident.
So despite they want to keep you alive that is not allways what happens.
So the reverse may be "nice" but in case you die early it is a double penalty for the loved ones.
It’s an educational test, not a proof of knowledge.

If you came away knowing not to vent, to use the right refrigerant, not to vent, to take your waste to the reclaimer, not to vent, to leak test with nitrogen, not to vent, and that you can be fined $43,000/day for not having your paperwork in order… then it worked enough.

Amazon makes it easier to cancel Prime following complaints
Perhaps "any speed" was exaggerated but I wouldn't call the thing click bait when it legitimately called out manufacturing practices and reluctance to put resources into safety which thereby resulted in trivially preventable deaths.

The greater awareness of safety factors brought to light by the book resulted in a culture of safety around automobiles & consumer buying practices that made safety features primary marketing & selling points.

That's all a pretty high bar to reach when using "unsafe at any speed" in the context of address spaces.
Sadly one person's terrible code is another person's elegant design. The best way to figure out if your perception matches reality is to work for many companies, and see how teams balance different factors. I'm going to assume that your opinion is correct snd this guru is actually making bad code. In that case, this company is dysfunctional. Everyone is afraid to stand up to the guru. I have left similar companies, and was happy that in doing so I helped enforce survival of the fittest, we can't have companies like that prospering and cloning themselves.
China's policy of responding only when they are caught is broad and applies to a wide variety of violations. The problem is, they also make it very hard to police China. This is deliberate.

The 1-2% that get caught and punished are acceptable breakage from the broader picture.

Conventional toasters are so cheap it makes no sense to try to repair them. Plus they aren't built to be repaired at all. When my last one died I tried taking it apart to see what went wrong (element burned through as it turned out) and see if I could fix it, but the whole mechanism was basically as single piece put together with spot welds and rivets, and with part markup being at least 2x or 3x initial cost there would be no way repairing it would make sense. I could gripe about it being cheap junk designed to fail, but it lasted over 20 years and browned thousands of slices of bread.

If some well built toaster that won't fail costs more than 4 times what the cheap toaster does, then it probably doesn't make sense to buy it. Especially if you can't guarantee that the well built toaster will actually last a lifetime.

You’ll find there are many who genuinely drink the kool aid, and maintain that the two month Shanghai lockdown was proof the CCP cares about people, as opposed to the evil west which prioritizes money over all else.

For what it’s worth, I think the Chinese lockdowns made sense early in the pandemic, but at this point are solidly in the mad-emperor-on-the-throne territory.
Since you seem to be knowledgeable about Chinese, I often hear people talk about "bye tsuo", "hey gwai" and "shah bee" when they discuss America. Have always been curious what those mean, do you know?

Another great project for Python logging is loguru:
https://loguru.readthedocs.io/en/stable/overview.html

One of my favorite features of loguru is the ability to contextualize logging messages using a context manager.

with logger.contextualize(user_name=user_name):
handle_request(...)

Within the context manager, all loguru logging messages include the contextual information. This is especially nice when used in combination with loguru's native JSON formatting support and a JSON-compatible log archiving system.

One downside of loguru is that it doesn't include messages from Python's standard logging system, but it can be integrated as a logging handler for the standard logging system. At the company where I work we've created a helper similar to Datadog's ddtrace-run executable to automatically set up these integrations and log message formatting with loguru
That sounds nice in theory but intractable when 40% of the country agree on one ‘intent’ and 40% agree on a dramatically different ‘intent’.
Going meta (note the lack of capitalization and insert your own joke here) I would say that the stress of running comments on your own blog, in any form, costs more most of the time as compared to sending the comments to places like HN, Reddit, and the like. I can see where size of concern means that you engage and host comments on your own site. However, it also seems to be that running a comment space in service of sharing something made and/or selling a product is the equivalent of painting a wall a nice, pristine white in a highly visible and accessible place and then getting mad at that same wall getting tagged with graffiti.

In other words, I am sorry that the Ron Glibert got burned, and I sympathize, but it seems to me that YouTube (where the video is hosted) runs a perfectly serviceable comments site that you can turn on and off. No need to run your own (unless you want to).
I get that, but I am looking for specific examples. Suspicions without proof aren't worth a whole lot to me.

It would be far easier to force phone and camera manufacturers to “embed” a fingerprint in the photo than to measure every sensor.

Also these fingerprints in reality are very flaky and the higher the quality of the sensor the less of a fingerprint there is to work with.

The fingerprints are also dependent on specific operating conditions which can change with firmware and operating parameters (e.g. digital zoom / cropping) as well as environmental conditions such as light levels and even temperature.
