About 90% of the public Youtube spam I see on YT still follows this ultra-simple template: one person asks something on the "top comment", another one replies with a faux-legitimate message.

The question is often "does anyone know how to pirate videos?", "...how to invest in crypto", "...how to get fake instagram followers", life coaches, etc.

It's not really custom messages with special chars, it's something that I could detect by using Ctrl+F in the browser. It's not something they'd need special tools on their end to catch. The only thing that is changing is the name of the users.

So yes, I'm gonna agree with GP that "the formats of the obvious spam" are super easy to detect.
It would. Agreed 100%.

This is why second layer solutions are being built, which offer the option of settling on-chain at the user's request. Second layer systems allow you to transact within that system without needing to publish each transaction. Block space is valuable, and your 1c purchase probably isn't worth putting on everyone's hard disk for all eternity.

Bitcoin is actively managed to prevent bloat to keep it decentralized. A layered system allows you to scale massively, much like the OSI model used by the internet.
This sentence in the article quite contradict with itself:
"In a culture obsessed with the right and wrong way of doing things"
But it also have this negative sentiment towards culture and point out "the right and wrong way of doing things".

The only way for me to make it consistent is that it is a relative self-reflective view that "I am also part of the culture and this is destined to happen".

If a full time driver earns 25k-50k that's sort of equivalent to every regular taxi and uber having a $500k / $1M driving package onboard already (at 4%), right?

I don't know the industry but very naively it doesn't seem to me like $100k really breaks the unit economics? Particularly if volume / learning curve can reduce the price?

In europe garlic in jar is "snobbish" option. It is 5x more expensive, produces a lot of waste and has brand and "proper bio" markers. Normal garlic you buy at streetmarket or grow yourself, is noname option for poor people.
Most, or all, cooking pop-culture is coming from a standpoint that puts the taste of food before any other concern. And yes, in general fresh produce processed right before cooking is unbeatable in taste (ignoring the large world of home-made preserves). I don't think its ableist to focus on this in your cooking show, and sing the praises of the tastiest possible food.

Of course, in practice, for people who aren't working as cooks at least, there are many concerns more important than getting the last possible bit of taste from your food (that you may not even taste until you've developed your palate a bit). Convenience and prep-time are extremely important as well, and will often dominate your ability and willingness to cook half-way decent food far above the freshness of the ingredients.

The biggest problem is when such normal compromises start being associated with pride and shame. For example, I greatly enjoy high-quality coffee (especially Panama Gesha varieties), and I know how important is to freshly grind it to get the perfect taste. But most days, I just need a quick cup of coffee before work, so I make a cup of pre-ground cheap coffee. I don't think it's "just as good", but I'm also not in any way ashamed of using such inferior coffee.

The race to the bottom of costing in pursuit of profit margins brought other issues to the forefront and once the market probed the lower end of costing possibilities consumers noticed things like scissors that bend when cutting paper, and there’s been a large backlash, arguably one of the principle fuels feeding the fires of this fake so-called-populism.

Im not so sure about China being the economic future of the world these days, despite decades hearing this and despite actual economic sizes and pollution footprints, as I’m not sure China and the US or EU markets can decouple effectively so easily.

Yes, to me 'staffer' means 'recruiter' as in, a person responsible for providing staff.

In the context of a political organisation it is used to mean 'team members' (because they're not always formally employed staff) but I've not encountered it being used that way to refer to staff/consultants employed by a private company, hence my questioning.
I mean, it does. Because why bother if you can do the trades on your own account and share nothing?

If your trading broadcasts information moving the share price in the direction you're predicting... that's better for you. It's giving every insider a micro Buffet effect to their trades. Why in Gods name would they not use it?

It's really easy to fall prey to this. You become target-fixated on your attention metrics, but it's often the worst content that spikes your numbers. You don't become an influencer; you become a hub of "influence"--a force you cannot really control, the will of which is not always benevolent.

For a while, I was pretty well known within a certain toxic niche. What I learned is that you can't "influence" anything, not very much, and certainly not in the short term (which is the timeframe on which most of us are forced to operate, just to survive). A "brand influencer" can convince a few thousand Pepsi drinkers to try Coke's latest product, but who cares? If any of these influencers actually had something to say, their followers would get fed up and move on to someone else.

It's tempting to believe that the thousands or millions of followers you can get by posting stupid shit will convert when you feel the need to say something important, but conversion rates are astronomically low. All that "influence" evaporates if you have a real reason to use it.

All that said, the good news is that this isn't a new problem. False personalities have been dominant in our psychobiome for decades. In the 1950s, it was the man in the gray flannel suit, the "organization man" who never discussed sex, politics, or religion (or, for that matter, anything else important). In the 2020s, it's insufferable young people trying to make a decrepit, failing economic system appear "cool" and even "woke" (a term no one but Boomers uses anymore). Same shit, new stink. We have lived under economic totalitarianism (whether of the Soviet command-economy variety, or the capitalist "ignore the man behind the curtain" variety) for a century now, and so we've been dealing with phony personalities (and false consciousness) for a long time. If they were going to destroy us, they would have done so by now.

I think that's where negotiation is a stronger frame though, because that sort of debate generally comes down to "how do I get through this faster", and the negotiative framing is "I disagree, but it doesn't matter, because the thing I actually want is for us to stop having this conversation, how can I achieve this with the greatest efficiency", or phrased otherwise, "what do I need to give you to make you go away?" Which there is much less to talk about.

The Productivity of Elixir/LiveView/Phoenix
I honestly find that deceiving and I would’ve said so in a review. Since it /is/ a percentage, I think you should absolutely show the zero - and the maximum if applicable. The correct scale is 0-1. It being a minute difference is exactly the type of thing a fair plot would reveal.

However, I think it’s better to use a semilog plot here - and show 1 - AP. I’m sure there’s a name for that number too. Then perhaps invert the Y axis if you really want the curve trending upward. No need for the cut, and infinite precision.

You of course should note this in the figure caption. This goes doubly so for cutting axes.

Because if you actually look at what cryptocurrency is being used for, it’s overwhelmingly:

- Scams
- Risky financial structures that we regulated out of existence because they were risky and unregulated
- Money laundering

If there are real applications of the technology, they would’ve popped up by now.

Just look at the whole space of cryptocurrency lending. Regulations exist for good reason, we have stress tests https://www.federalreserve.gov/publications/large-bank-capit..., consumer protections, all kinds of safeguard so when you put money in a bank account you don’t have to worry that somebody’s gonna run with it.

Web 3.0 is a buzzword-filled collective hallucination. People keep shouting the buzzwords, but still nobody knows what it’s supposed to mean in any concrete way. NFTs are scams and still haven’t found a real use case that’s not a ponzi, crypto lending is 2008 capital structures but turned up to 11, DAOs are useless because courts and corporate governance are things that exists, I can go on and on.

If you have a concrete proposal of how this magical Web 3.0 future is supposed to be better I’m all ears, but where I’m standing it’s all ponzi, scams, shaky capital structuring, and criminal enterprises.

You're not going to find disagreement from me here, I think that some aspects of the pride parade are probably detrimental to the acceptance of LGBTetc amongst regular members of society.

There seems to be a subgroup that enjoys showcasing what can fairly honestly (as in, not in a pearl-clutching kind of way) be described as deviant behaviour and I don't think it's going to work out in the favour of LGBTetc in the long term.
It's technically 'cheating' but it's perfectly acceptable to most people because it gets the job done as well as you could do it without it. People who complain about it are snobs.

This is quite funny. We have a group of friends really obsessed with making great food. We cook together menus with top notch ingredients retrieved from local sources, spending days studying recipes and planning menus and practicing each step. I love to make great foods for any friends who visit, if I can make time into my calendar. At the same time, we also share all possible hacks for making fast and efficient foods, sharing information which ready made canned things taste good and which not. Never discarding something because it's not "pure". Some processed goods and premade meals are amazing! Everything has their time and place. Being food snob 24/7 must be super exhausting. It has its time and place, sure, but most of the time I want something tasty with minimal effort.

In the UK we can buy Italian minced garlic (Gia brand) in a tube (like tubes of tomato puree) and it's pretty good, though a bit salty. Much better than the jars of oil-preserved garlic I've tried.

However my mind was blown when I discovered frozen minced garlic, and frozen minced chillies which are now pretty widely available in supermarkets here. Once the block has melted in the pan they're basically indistinguishable from fresh.

The frozen minced green chillies are also great because, being made from a mixture of chillies, the heat is basically standardised, so there's no risk of accidentally making the dish unsatisfactory to eat because one of the chillies was unexpectedly potent, or nearly as bad, unexpectedly weak.
Everything is about trade offs. Raw ingredients are the peak of versatility because it's the base from which all the variations come from. But it takes effort to get those variations. Grating carrots can be annoying so maybe some people buy bags of grated carrots. But you won't be getting any carrot sticks from that bag. Mincing garlic is annoying so garlic can come pre-minced. You obviously won't be getting sliced or whole garlic or black garlic from the pre-minced garlic. Also, products oxidise and lose their flavour quickly. I prefer buying whole peppercorns and using a pepper grinder. Some people take it a step further and buy whole spices and temper+grind them. The garlic will lose flavour quickly when minced so it needs to be stored in either oil or vinegar or frozen. That again will limit its versatility. If it's in olive oil, I may not want to use it in east Asian cooking. Also, convenience products add sugar and salt which again is something that you may not want. In my opinion, if you know what's in it and you're happy with any limitations it creates, then by all means use it. I imagine cooking "snobs" like cooking and value the versatility of the raw ingredients. When given a bunch of raw ingredients the world opens up with possibilities.

> In what way is it 'GitHub-centric' or 'artificially capped' though?

The parent set the context of this thread by providing links to GitHub pages, that's for the "GitHub-centric", and the GitHub UI caps many of its listings to 100 items (100 pages of search results, etc.) so you only get to see the 100 first contributors, that's for the "artificially capped".

> If I did it with `git shortlog -s`

You would use an inappropriate measurement method that doesn't take into account the nature and history of the subject of your study and thus get meaningless data.

> It's just totally non-standard against the grain git usage.

There is no such thing as "standard" git usage, especially when factoring GitHub into the discussion. There are "modern" expectations, though, that the Vim project doesn't meet because it is much older than those expectations. Maybe you don't like it but it matters when discussing metrics.

FWIW, the move to Git of "the kernel" also dropped more than a decade of pre-2005/pre-git history so `git shortlog -s` won't give you the full picture there either.

There's other languages used as well obviously, and even just assembly in some parts of some systems, but in terms of the majority it's C and/or C++.

They have strong-armed their petrodollar system since 1971, and have invaded a number of oil-producing countries that toyed with the idea to price oil in value other currencies.

Saudi Arabia only get to price in Yuan, because the US can't afford to invade China. The unipolar world is fraying at the seams, and one wonders what will happen to the dollar when the US government can no longer lean on the petrodollar to enforce it's world reserve status.
