There were other indicators as well. The office was in an old warehouse building on the waterfront of the city, with massive windows and high ceilings. I walked in to amazing water views from the lobby. When I descended one floor to the dev area, every single window was covered by a blackout curtain. It was a cave with no natural light, and barely any artificial light.

When I declined the offer, the recruiter was totally offended that I would pass up on such an opportunity.

> A food desert is an area that has limited access to affordable and nutritious food.
In the capacity of losing weight, the requirement is caloric restriction, irrespective of whether the food intake is healthy or not. Healthy food, however, facilitates the process, because fiber and protein, and lower insulin responses from sugar restriction, improves satiety and cravings.

Coming from a standard westernized diet high in processed foods, you'll probably lose some weight just by changing makeup of diet, but if you're overweight you won't lose all of the excess without sustained caloric restriction.

> I would want to exchange peanuts and consequently owe no taxes.

This idea is at odds with the concept of the modern nation state. You can't have running state institutions and an army that, in theory, should provide some level of security of the state borders. Having many groups of people, each exchanging peanuts, beans or stones would lead to a decreased level of trust and no concept of national unity.

This is why Monero is doing really well right now as a currency, but it has become a bit of a dirty word among crypto bros. For many people in cryptocurrency, the price action is the point. People are tired of saving and seeing inflation eat their savings. They want to get rich, and they believe that no investment lets them do it. That's why the Gamestop fiasco became such a phenomenon, and I think that is why Bitcoin is so volatile and why it is what it is.

In my opinion, there will need to be a great clearing out for cryptocurrencies and blockchain technologies to mature, and things will need to get very boring. The "clearing out" means $0 BTC, DOGE, ETH, LTC, etc. The "boring" part means things staying stable. Otherwise, it doesn't look like there is enough room for other cryptocurrencies (like SOL as an NFT/smart contract platform) to succeed in the market, and scams will be the only viable business models because they are fast.

Which assets are less risky, exactly? Bond prices are tanking. Cash is inflating. Real estate is probably next. I would argue it is best to stay diversified to be risk averse.
Major questions doctrine. They ruled that the current law does not empower EPA to require producers to shift generation to different methods (e.g. natural gas, renewables), and that if Congress had meant for the law to do that, they would have written it explicitly.

Congress can still pass a law empowering EPA to regulate greenhouse gas emissions.

I've seen this -- I'd be interested to know how many blind coders are using braille displays. I only know two blind coders, but both use standard accessible editors, using text-to-speech. They don't care about tabs vs spaces. I'm not sure which editors work well with braille displays (if any).

They do care greatly about sticking 100% to an auto-code formatter, not for their benefit of reading other's codes, but so they didn't need to worry about accurate formatting themselves, which is another excellent reason to just pick a code formatter and use it on every commit religiously.

Large economically disruptive policy changes should come from the legislative rather than the executive or judicial branches, as they are more democratically accountable, at a finer level of detail. To the extend that the consitution codifies that, it's a good thing.
I don't know how I should react to this news. I can imagine every argument:

"EPA regulations were inconsequential in GHG emission reductions in the US during the last 20 years"

"This decision could doom humanity"

"An excess of environmental regulations is accelerating climate change, scientists find"

"Experts say the private sector will continue to seek emissions efficiencies on its own, regardless of environmental regulations"

"ESG investing norms could be 10x better for the environment than EPA regulations, climate scientists say"

Etc.

>Very few economic transactions are denominated in gold, either as a medium of exchange or a unit of account.

That doesn't mean that gold isn't a viable medium of exchange - it obviously is, just go to a market of your choice and trade it for goods. In fact, it's the single most viable medium of exchange, globally, since currencies are tied to economies, and economies can crash. Gold can not, thus is it valuable.
I think robust information software (AKA "CRUD" apps, data visualization and interaction etc.) should definitely be built with higher level paradigms, DSLs or a language that provides such capabilities out of the box for these reasons:

- principle of least power

- can often be talked and reasoned about more easily

- lends itself to visualization

- can be tested more easily and uniformly

- eliminates certain classes of accidental complexity

So yes it makes sense to use...

- relational algebra for data manipulation where feasible, functional programming for the rest

- (data driven / functional) state machines for control

...like the article is suggesting. I also kind of like the idea about I/O but I'm not 100% sure there, because I never played with such a system. Reactive programming is powerful too to manage data flow and again hides away plumbing and side-effects.

In a sense this is kind of already how many are programming in modern FP languages like Clojure (via libraries).

What we possibly lose with these approaches is performance, except the runtime/macros are fine tuned to make automatic optimizations, so some of that can be gained back in the long term. But I generally agree that there is tons of leverage in programming these things at a higher level.

All documentation I've read, and personal experience, says otherwise.

For example, most manuals urge one to not have an empty freezer. That cold mass is one reason why.

When I was a kid, we had a fridge from the 50s in a cottage. When I started drinking, we'd put 5 cases of beer (24*5) in glass bottles in there, and 2 hours, yes hours later they'd be at 1C.

Now, modern fridges/freezers literally do not have that degree of cooling power. This is on purpose, for it is more efficient to power a small compressor all the time, than a massive compressor for 10 minutes.

You may want to argue this point, and that's fine, but I am merely providing info both from the manuals of modern freezers and fridges, which I have read, and from online when looking at why they are so bloody slow to cool things.

My LG fridge manual actually says not to put warm meat in my freezer, unless the thing has loads of frozen stuff in it.

Otherwise the meat could go bad before freezing.

Oh, another wonder of modern fridges. If you buy one and put it outside, or in an unheated garage, the freezer becomes useless.

This is because many fridges have no thermometer in the freezer part, and only get a reading when the compressor comes on, to cool the fridge.

As the fridge is always cool when it is 3C outside, or cooler, the freezer never keeps stuff frozen.
People who bring the "genocide" argument to the discussion are like people who bring pepper spray to a party: they are not interested in a discussion (the others are not interested in a party).

Skipping that, Amazon is not taking part in any genocide - they agreed to "restrict LGBT search results" in accordance with the local laws (however backward these may seem to you — and me). In the US, Amazon is not selling Mein Kampf (in accordance with the local laws). In China, Amazon wouldn't sell Tiananmen square memorabilia (in accordance with the local laws). In Europe, Amazon wouldn't sell pornography (in accordance with the local laws).
Seems like they are really working towards democracy. Making them actually make the laws.

I haven't looked into this extensively or tried Copilot myself, so I might be completely wrong about this. But from what I understand, the code Copilot generates is generally different enough from the source data that it shouldn't be an issue. In a sense, Copilot reading lots of code on Github to train a code-writing model is analogous to a human reading lots of code on GitHub and learning from some of the design patterns they see—as long as the output is not too similar to the input, it should be fine.

> I am afraid we will see an immense amount of instability, increased poverty, mass migrations and authoritarian regimes rising up due to the fact that we couldn't manage to convince people that those parties do not care about them.

This has already been happening for a decade now. But it has been limited to poorer regions, such as north Africa, south-central Americas, and war-torn regions of the Middle East.

Most of this instability was precipitated by food prices, which wealthier nations found themselves immune to. But they are no longer immune, food prices are spiking by double digit annual percentages all over the world. Fuel prices too.

I have seen the same phenomenon where I work. However, I disagree with the implication that this is limited to young people. I know of a few people that are 50 and 60 years old, that have been using source control for 30+ years, that didn't have any idea that git and GitHub were different things. Now, they were easy to set right; the concepts are all familiar to them.

My experience with younger folks that have never been outside the Windows world has been that it was a lot harder to make them understand. Young folks with a unix-y background were much easier.
My counter-argument is that a complete lack of alternate platforms, although worse in the short term, might actually catalyst a long term improvement.

Just like russians are now being forced to learn to live without Ikea furniture or Intel computers, for the hopes that the complete lack of the better stuff might encourage them to think about overthrowing their oppressors.

Google with censorship is like a false hope, a kind of political PR greenwashing. The people of China use Google and think it's the same Google the rest of the world uses. It might be better to reveal the ugly truth, and say, you either get the whole truth, or no truth at all. To reveal the liars.

This article raised some very interesting points through comparing the movement to religion and the fact that the peoples wealth is affected makes it that much more potent.

I'm still optimistic because I think that the current way the world runs is not going to work in the long run. Something radical has to change or we will destroy the planet. I don't know if Bitcoin will play a role in this and if it's going to be positive or negative but things need to change.

I have two specific points in the articles that didn't make sense.

1. Bitcoin whales can only affect the price of Bitcoin. They have no power over Bitcoin itself.

2. The article also makes the point that Bitcoin is weakening local currencies (fiat) which doesn't make sense since inflation is mostly driven by money printing and other economic factors.

That’s not false, but it really misses some important detail:

namely, that generation shifting cannot be a “system of emission re- duction” under Section 111. 985 F. 3d 914, 995.

In other words, telling a coal plant operator to reduce their plants emissions by switching some energy production to other sources is beyond the EPA’s legal authority.

However, given that you evidently prefer a single (technocratic?) world government I suppose you might welcome the further erosion of the US republic? In that case damn-the-consequences-do-what-I-want is an understandable position to take, even if it’s inimical to the long term health of the republic.
