nothing is of any real value unless there's also some risk of losing it.

If you're looking for a commodity to have trade or exchange value, then it must be tradeable or exchangeable. That's the notion of "inalienable" as used in the US Declaration of Independence: rights which cannot be alienated (separated) from the individual posessing them. Life, liberty, happiness being the three used in that document.

This doesn't mean undeniable, and there might be some value which can be extracted through threats of denial: "your money or your life".

And there are aspects of value which can be exchanged though the good itself doesn't move: title, copyright, and patent rights might be three such of these. If I transer you land title, the land itself doesn't move, but the claim to usefruct from it does.

A hypothetically nontransferable, non-appropriable technical asset is still subject to claims if a superior right or denial of access to that asset may still be claimed.

And in general, a currency which is used to facilitate trade should in general be portable, readily recognisable, divisible, durable, and homogeneous, all attributes William Stanley Jevons proposed in 1875:

(He also claimed money required intrinsic value, which appears to be an error. Rather, intrinsic value exchanges for trust within the financial system.)

That said, an interesting suggestion.

I don't care how technical my manager is. As long as they understand what I'm doing, back me in justifying why I'm doing it, are willing to listen when I have problems, can give me some career guidance, can give me direct feedback when things are going poorly, and can explain why we're doing things that seem out of plan, I'm happy.

None of these things need technical skills. In fact, if I can't explain what I'm doing without getting deeply technical, then I question whether I'm doing the right thing _or_ if how I'm doing it needs to be simplified.

In my experience, bad managers will hide negative feedback to avoid upsetting you, cow-tow to their management when they have grievances with you or want to waste your time, will phone in 1x1s and will generally just be a roadblock.

One of the best managers I ever had was non-technical. She was very good at building people. Rare skill.

Do they discuss the draw weight of the bow or any measurements they made to determine that the weapons were imparting the same damage as would have been common historically? It takes a while to work up to the sort of draw weight that was common in trained archers. I'm not just talking about longbows. A 90 lb recurve isn't something you just pick up one day.
So what's the moral of the story?

Do you think it's "don't change"? Cause that gives right up on progress anyway. So good luck on getting large shareholders to give you the reins with that message. They're looking for ROI, not the status quo - if you don't evolve, your competitor will, barring monopolies and such. And even there... Microsoft of today is much less dominant than the MS of 25 years ago, and arguably could be worth a lot more had they made better moves. If that's not a compelling example, maybe check out Sears...

Maybe most people in these positions know that change doesn't guarantee improvement, but they know that sitting still is the same as just waiting to be defeated. So maybe there's something less-than-stupid about these "short-sighted" "illusory" changes.

But maybe if you want to be a wise executive, the key is to recognize that change might not just fail to improve your position - it might actually actively harm it. So the good executive is the one who chooses to try to change things according to reasonable calculations about both potential upside benefit and downside risk...

>Houses in AZ use less energy on average than other states

hmm, looks like energy expenditures are the same, they note that energy costs are higher in AZ

So the question would be is the reduction due to budgets, meaning given the option the people in AZ would set their AC lower, and be more comfortable if they could afford too and the high cost prevents that

Or is it actually more efficient as the claim was?

> just using DC to get extra Democrat votes

DC isn't just a group of people, it is the city and its unique architecture, culture, subcultures, etc., it's definitely not a suburb of Baltimore unless your goal is to sustain their lack of legislative influence.

The problem is they are burdened with taxes without representation in Congress, and your bias against actually solving what many might say the Founders would consider evil is ultimately a matter of their political leanings — because the residents happen to be tolerant and progressive, their votes and rights must be stifled. If DC was red, it'd be a different story.

Tribalism is only one of many problems with Republicans and the Republican Party, that blind loyalty is above honesty and fairness. I always saw the bigger problem as 99% of voting Republicans are literally voting against their current personal economic interests in anticipation of the day when they will be rich (say, earning $400K+/yr or having $2M in investments, business, real estate or bonds) and served by economically and socially destructive goals and absurd ideals such as the fewest having the most.

If everyone suddenly always voted in their personal economic interests, Republicans wouldn't be able to win any more elections, because it would just be the 5 richest guys voting Republican. It is stark to realize, nevertheless true that the Republican Party, at its heart, if its heart is those whose interests are always best served by Republican agenda, it'd just be those half dozen or so rich guys. I'm sure they appreciate your vote, but not enough to help you improve or even sustain your economic situation.

Sucks for everyone that this is really whats happening, by and large the poorer are propping up the richer completely divorced from their economic situation and the awareness of the influence they have to change it with their vote.

The Republican Party uses a couple of distraction, guns and abortion, and taps into that unfortunate obsession in rural and suburban and urban areas of my team, which sometimes turns comically and other times tragically violent. Yelling and screaming, throwing things, fighting.

It is embarrassing what Republicans have done lately... the 2000 election, McConnell stonewalling Garland's appointment, electing Trump and all of that absurd shit, and now the Supreme Court stacked by a corrupt administration is proving that it has lost all credibility, and ensured that the State will cause young women to suffer and die, unnecessarily. Eventually and ultimately, the majority will correct the court, but it will be decades.
It's like a two-party system, when both parties are messed up, each in their own unique manner. One might be subjectively much better than another (subjectively = for a specific individual and their beliefs), but they still suck and you wish there would be someone else who'd not just have the good bits but also not have that stupid stance on the bad ones - again, for subjective "good" and "bad" of a particular individual.

This is how it is with Android and iOS. They both suck, just differently. And there are people who are much more happy with iOS overall - it sucks less for them - they're not going to be happy with Android, even though openness is something they see as a good thing. So your solution is simply not working for them.

I don't know how big this group is. If they're large enough to influence and impose a political will to pass this legislation - I'd guess, quite a lot of people. So I don't think it would be "worse experience for everyone". Especially because everyone who're happy right now won't suddenly get a bunch of scummy apps sideloaded and Apple Pay and browser replaced.

Also, I don't think they're all developers. One sure doesn't have to be a developer to wish for something their phone cannot do for purely non-technical reasons.

> This is naive and assumes that there aren’t bigger, badder actors to deal with - Facebook, Google, and others can and will abuse their position. This will make the iPhone worse for everyone, especially if chrome manages a dominant position and developers can stop supporting safari. It will probably make my Mac worse, too.

That's why we have regulation, which is quickly ("quick" in terms of legislation at least) coming now.

If the only reason people use Safari today instead of another browser, is because they are forced to use Safari, even if there is a better one, isn't that kind of messed up in the first place?

How would the openness make your Mac worse?! You think your Mac is worse today because you can install any applications you want? You think your Mac would become better if Apple disabled application installation outside of the App Store?

> I still haven’t heard a single good reason why people who want sideloading can’t just use Android. iPhone isn’t even close to dominant in Europe.

I have a iPhone, and I'd like to be able to use whatever application I want on it. I'd also like to be able to develop applications on it, but my desktop is Windows and Arch Linux, so today I can't. I love the Apple hardware, but I hate the UI and that I'm not able to even open it up like a normal USB device to transfer files. The UX of Apple stuff is really horrible (even if you buy into the whole ecosystem), but the hardware is very nice.

So I'd like to be able to finally own the device I buy from Apple.

The problem is that racially diverse cast while keeping the same euro-centric stories is all they've been doing for the past 15 years, because all they really care about is looking "nice".

If they produced movies with original storylines more regularly, then every minority would naturally find something they could relate to, simply because author would naturally produce contents aligned with their time.

Instead of that, studios give the impression of beeing hostage of the "diversity mob" which demand its payback on every single content. It's just pathetic, and a missed opportunity for truely great and interesting content.
The concept is pretty interesting if there were real assets behind the coin. Problem is you would need a good counterparty… which means you need a good custodian… which means you might as well just use the counterparty and custodian.

The only real benefit of the coin in this case would be programming derivatives without further intermediate custodians and counter parties. This could be useful for some back office finance activities outside of scams.
Here's documentation about the old SysVInit "system" of cobbled together hacks:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/SysVinit#Writing_rc.d_scrip...
Note the missing features, which I would call dealbreakers:
- How do I know if a daemon is running? What if you several "copies" of the same daemon, like multiple OpenVPN connections?
- How do you test if your cron script runs with the correct environment variables when it runs at 4AM? How can you test it with the same environment that will be set at 4AM, if you can only run it only on the interactive bash shell?
- Say you want to change an environment variable from a daemon shipped by your distro. Are you sure you included all " and ' on your arbitrary shell program pretending to be configuration? Can you lint your change or do you just pray, reboot and get an emergency shell?
- Freaking dependencies. Parallel startup? Making your webserver automatically wait for the NFS mounts? Make you sshd not wait for NFS mounts? Make sure your sshd starts even if NFS fails, so that you can actually reboot the machine remotely?

Here's how this can be done with SystemD, it's all supported and it works:

> assumption - that the top talent pool largely begins and ends with the best known actors.

I don’t think anyone is making this assumption, and certainly not me.

What I’m saying is that in a show with such a big budget, not a single actor is well known or even decently known. That’s unusual and not a good sign. It’s possible that this show is unique in that it has all great actors and is not paying a ton for them. Certainly it’s possible.

But try to think of another show with even a moderate budget that was awesome with an entire cast of “unknowns.”

There are some movies, Kids comes to mind with a new director, writer, and stars like a then unknown Rosario Dawson and Chloe Sevingny. But that budget was like $400k and I think if they had had $40M they would have had different actors.
I wouldn't agree that Deno showed that, as I said many companies are making a lot of money from non-Node JS runtimes.

The players I mention have built their own runtime, they're mostly all built on V8 isolates (including Deno Deploy).

This is why I struggle to see where Bun fits in the edge JS world, as far as I understand it JSC has no Isolate primitive meaning Bun would have to write this from scratch (or salvage the other parts of WebKit that offer isolation). Otherwise Bun will be limited to using Linux containers on the edge, at which point you re-introduce the startup time you gained by switching from node in the first place.
As someone in the localization business, let me assure you that, with the current state of the art, using machine translation without any kind of human post-editing for UI is a terrible idea.

That the UI is not in English does not mean that a non-English person will be able to understand it and use it successfully.

You can only do it if you do not have any kind of support for those international users and if those users are not your real customers but merely statistics in the usage dashboard of a free product.
>It takes a single query and suggests indexes for it. A good one would take a mix of queries and suggest a set of indexes, also considering the impact on write speed of additional indexes (table updates often need to update indexes, too)

This is my pet peeve with SQL Server SSMS will give you a missing index suggestion and cost... the problem is inexperienced people will take the suggestion as is and create way too many highly specialized indexes over time.

Like communism, I guess real algo-stablecoins have never been tried.
With the exception of neighborhood streets and busy trunk roads, my speed is being governed by the vehicle in front of me, thanks to adaptive cruise control. It was a bit unnerving at first, but now I turn it on the moment I'm on the highway. I suspect manual speed control will go the way of the manual transmission.

And it does have an override -- I can step on the gas any time I want -- but I've never used it.
Sounds like a no true Scotsman fallacy. Even has Luna started losing peg, lots of people thought there was no way they would go entirely down because it was one of the biggest name in crypto and supported in the industry by so many. It was very mainstream solution and among the top 10 crypto in market cap.

The history of currency and pegs are well documented in the world of finance, for decades. If anything the demonstration that an algorithmic stablecoin is possible is something that must be proven, because every signs are pointing toward the fact that it's not.
I mean everyone has their idea of what is 'interesting' in crypto, but the counterpoint to your argument is all of those things can be positioned as being just as scammy as yield farming:

AMMs = Only work in a world where prevailing prices aren't set by traditional centralized order books. As long as those exist, AMMs will always be 'behind the curve' and lose value to arbitrageurs who buy from central books and sell to AMMs (even if bulls call it 'impermanent loss' it's a core feature of the system).

Algorithmic Stable coins = Only work in a world where the market perceives the paired asset as truly 'risk-free' (as evidenced by the Terra/Luna debacle). To date, the only 'risk-free' assets come with a multi-trillion dollar investment in an army, so unclear if there's really anything interesting there.

DAOs = Frequently show themselves as insecure, oligopolist, retail un-friendly organizations [0][1][2]

In short, be careful what you wish for, because at least by focusing on the SBF-cult, they're not doing the serious journalism needed to prove how atechnological most crypto projects are.

I is relatively well established but it is also used by people and physicians to dismiss of sufferers' pain by assuming that psychological aspect are the _sole_ cause of physical symptoms. Blame the sufferers' attitude etc. Quackery at it's very finest.
AMMs are pretty cool, but like much of crypto today just centered around trading one coin for another. Sure that's useful, but that' assuming that these coins should be worth something and are worth holding in their own right.

Algorithmic stablecoins are doomed to fail and not particularly interesting. They're all based on the notion that you can create something out of nothing. It's the cryptocurrency equivalent of a perpetual motion machine. Usually there's a floater coin that's minted and burned based on the supply and demand of the stable coin. But again, nothing answers the question why should this (floater) token be worth anything? If the token goes to 0, it all falls apart, or the more likely case that the price drops enough the there is no amount you can mint to stabilize the stable coin. SBF said as much [0].

DAOs are too complicated and rife for abuse and a constant target for attacks, so I'm not optimistic on.

I think what SBF is doing is interesting as he's buying up failing businesses for the users and trust. There's definitely going to be a consolidation going on and I think its for the best.

It is probably the driver that leads to have pulse audio use 10% of the CPU of a quadcore when doing nothing / not playing any media?

Most countries have laws that require accessibility whenever a building is updated/rebuilt. It can be slightly harder in countries with more older buildings.
