There are many countries who are next in line may be a bit more more self sufficient and with relatively less bigoted people.

Everything starts when people elect leaders based on hatred instead of good governance. Citizens of Srilanka or any of the countries that may follow the same step cannot just blame this cronies and escape. People needs to self realize their part.
It seems weird to me to describe this as a "currency crisis". The post pretty plainly describes an actual crisis:

> Production of tea -- Sri Lanka's main cash crop -- fell by 18% in a year. Production of rice -- the main food crop -- fell by even more.

The problem isn't the currency.
> reaction demonstrates pretty clearly that he’s not strong enough to deal with any of this

He seems to straight up acknowledge this when he says “the trolls have gotten too good at triggering me.”

> self indulgent out-loud

He cites his “openness and…ethic of responding to all possible arguments against me,” which doesn’t sound overly self indulgent. If he won’t or can’t amend that ethic, then killing commenting seems the way to go.
Given how much of this involves lots of stuff being on fire, rockets fail to explode amazingly often.

You can see elements of this in the West as well: agricultural work is often done by precarious non-citizens, and every now and again an entire semi-trailer of these people being imported turn up dead.
>Seems like the switch wasn't about chemical fertilizer vs organic fertilizier but imported fertilizer vs local fertilizer.

it is a bit moot point as organic fertilizer can't be practically transported/imported for any significant distance.

Pretty much everyone has a gLinux workstation or logs into a gLinux VM - they were, traditionally, the only devices that had access to the main source repository, so it's not so much about whether people want to or not.
Yeah, more or less. People gripe about it occasionally, especially on the left, but then some shit will go down like Ukraine and suddenly nobody wants to look like an idiot (which will absolutely happen in an American context if you suggest cutting military spending right after Russia invades someone).
Sure, but obviously OS developers know how to deal with this stuff.

Trolls are not ignored here on HN. They tend to get told off in replies by a moderator or other person, their comments get flagged, and they may be banned. I think it’s better than just hoping everyone will ignore trolls.

Importantly, it may be fine for you to ignore trolls but not for moderators and Scott is the moderator of his blog’s comments.
NO ONE should have them.
I actually evaluated whether it was plausible to use a ChromeOS derivative as a workstation OS while I was at Google. At the time the answer was "no" for a bunch of reasons, including the following:

1) Crostini didn't integrate with the ChromeOS accessibility infrastructure, so it wasn't practical for users who required assistive technologies which meant gLinux would have to be supported anyway

2) While there is some degree of support for graphics acceleration for Crostini instances, there's no real way to provide direct access to the hardware. A bunch of people needed to do work that required more direct GPU access (either very resource intensive rendering, or GPU-offloaded ML models and the like), which meant gLinux would have to be supported anyway

3) We were in the process of moving to using hardware-backed machine identity for Beyondcorp, and Crostini had no way of providing that and tying that identity to the host identity (you don't want a situation where a guest VM appears to be trustworthy when it's running on an unpatched host)

4) This was also before the acquisition of Neverware, which meant at the time that a team would need to be built to maintain a build of ChromeOS for generic workstation hardware

This was a few years back, and I left getting on for 18 months ago, so it wouldn't surprise me if this is reappraised at some point.
While I agree and feel the same jarring effect when listening to songs outside their album context, I've accepted that as the past of commercial music. The present and future lies on listening to singles.

I grew up with this assertion. But right now through my spouse and a lot of friends, I see, that you can earn good money by specializing in a not that popular instrument, e.g. piano (!). And then be just advanced+reliable+do the effort of networking. The money is comparable to a software job.

Yeah. Europe is learning this the hard way too. We cannot drastically shift to “green” and then buy everything “not green” from our adversaries!

Although the crisis is not nearly as bad as in Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka now needs to import rice, even when they were an exporter before!
That's nothing, I write for academia, and pay for getting published.
> Most music is highly repetitive, often recycling 2 or 3 short segments (chorus, verse) with minor variations to fill out a whole song. Coltrane is known for his avant-garde composition, and even he repeats (often on a much smaller scale than a pop tune).

I'll note that a pop music current that has, I think, even less repetition than someone like Coltrane was the Progressive Rock genre, especially the originals in the early 1970s. Bands like Yes, Genesis, King Crimson, Pink Floyd, Gentle Giant - they were all producing 10-20 minute songs that used repetition sparingly, instead of relying on a typical verse-chorus-verse structure. Not exclusively, mind, but each had quite a few, typically as centerpieces of their albums.
Back in the day, together with my friend we played this trance tune on repeat for straight 5 days at the office :) both of us remember of this till this day and occasionally I play it for 10 or 15 times on repeat to honour that week :)

democracy isn't just about elections (otherwise even the totalitarian fascist Russia could have been called democratic :). Elections is just a basic necessary condition of democracy, a starting point. Many of those populist regimes aren't democracies really, they are more like ochlocracies naturally hijacked by authoritarians.
Are the two mutually exclusive? I don't see why a democracy can't elect a dictator, even a different one every couple of years. In ancient Rome the title dictator was a short-term thing.
Strong agree with point 1. As for points 2 and 3, you need to consider the cumulative effect of many works rather than just a single one. It is a very heavy-tailed distribution, with a few works getting all the attention and all others having no impact.
(The original article is very good at providing a beginner's explanation of forex crises, and should be bookmarked for every time someone wants to talk about inflation)

> A country ought to feed its people

This is much harder than it sounds, not just for dense tiny countries like Singapore but for much of Western Europe. The UK hasn't been able to feed its population from native production only since before WW2. I see a Norwegian making the same point in this thread; the proportion of Norway's five million people that could be sustainably fed by fishing, reindeer hunting, and agriculture on the few flat bits of the country is probably very small.

> provide basic services like power and medical facilities on its own

Even harder. Only a superpower could begin to attempt having its own production chain for both of those. Everyone else has to buy from Siemens or Westinghouse, or Pfizer etc.

It sounds like you're saying that only superpowers or mega-countries should exist? Would the EU count as a self-sufficiency unit for this purpose?

(edit: Singapore imports 90% of its food! https://www.sfa.gov.sg/food-farming/singapore-food-supply/th... - not really suprising given that it's an island megacity with a population of 20,000 per square mile)
Not just a dictatorship problem. Look at the halting of nuclear in Germany - a decision made by Angela Merkel after a bottle of wine with her husband according to The Atlantic.

I would argue that the current energy crisis was also partly caused by the ESG drive which while laudable in aspiration got ahead of physical practical implementation capacity.

The strain itself (and its specific genome) can be patented. Not as it's found "in the wild", but with genetic modification. The thing is this "genetic modification" includes not just techniques like CRISPR, but also just letting the bacteria mutate in a vat.

I think it's total nonsense, but the law allows it. If wild bacteria growing on your skin happens to mutate into the exact same genetic code as a patented strain, you could technically be in infringement.

I am working as a Security Engineer(SE) for a (well-known; not FB) social media platform, and got an offer for a similar SE role at Google. Career wise, making the change will not necessarily make me happier; however Google's financial situation and stock perspectives feel better in this troublesome period, and makes me think that it will be better for my young family.

It is by far the best option for someone as easily triggered as the author to ignore trolls entirely, as his own article suggests.

The narcissistic tendencies he’s indulged here are toxic as hell, both to him and to whatever community he’s trying to foster in his comments, far more damaging than any troll might be.

Just let it go! This is so damaging to the fabric of your community, you’re literally killing the very thing you want to support by not just letting it go.

Write no more of it, think no more of it, just move on.
There is some discovery if you go look for it actually. It's just toned down and left for the user's initiative, instead of bugging you every chance it gets :)

In my opinion, that's an interesting idea.

I started writing short stories a couple of years ago, and I created a Hugo website to host them: https://crooked.ink. The main issues with a blog are that it's hard to get an audience from scratch, and it's hard to be found with all the SEO effort you can do.

I also tried to submit a couple of stories to webzines and I got published once for free, but I really don't think I'll ever do it for a living.

What I wish more and still didn't get, though, it's a _feedback_ for my stories. So maybe the project could be intriguing for this, if it can get you closer to an audience.
Googler and ChromeOS engineer here. Opinions are my own, etc etc.

This has changed/is changing. It heavily depends on your team (especially if you're not in engineering, I don't think most non-engineers would have a gLinux machine or a workstation out of the box). We've developed tools for crostini that would let people access a gLinux environment, I don't know how much I can talk about it so I won't go into details (although it's nothing super secret either), but the bottom line is that more and more engineers these days are able to do 100% of their job on a ChromeOS machine, including dealing with google3 stuff.

Would be interested to know too, the PDF (page 12, https://comsec.ethz.ch/wp-content/files/retbleed_sec22.pdf) shows "Intel Core i9-9900K Coffee Lake Ref" but does not list the stepping.

Per https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/topic-tech... (click 2022 tab), there's C and D steppings of 9900k. Note Intel recommends some software mitgations for both steppings.

(It looks like the kernel decided it was too confusing to handle different steppings and is applying the mitigation to all: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20220712183239.024698478@linuxf... so maybe doesn't matter either way.)
No, according to the hedonic treadmill theory, people in general have a tendency to return to their own previous happiness level. The hedonic threadmill doesn't say anyting about comparing happiness levels across individuals.

It’s not an idea - it’s just a perspective that some people forget: the world is volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous, and our organisations are a reflection of that. I know that it’s fashionable to talk about not normalising things, but the reality doesn’t change.

I don’t like it either, but I can’t really do much about it. If you realise you’re in a difficult organisation, you can at least start to take action, or take a different tact (or leave). Being annoyed about the situation is probably just going to make you more and more unhappy because the system won’t (or can’t) change in your desired timeframe.

That’s not how benefits work. Giving free things to the employees makes them richer, which increases their negotiation power, which increases their wages. They would be getting paid less without it, not more.

What can cause this is welfare cliffs and systems with asset tests like SSI.

The Hambantota case is described in detail in The Atlantic's articl, which explains why it's not a debt trap. For one, the feasibility study for Hambantota was first made by Canada — the Chinese only came in later, competing with western countries for its construction. Second, see this excerpt:

> Our research shows that Chinese banks are willing to restructure the terms of existing loans and have never actually seized an asset from any country, much less the port of Hambantota.

Even if we assume that Hambantota is a problem, total Sri Lanka debt owned by China is still at 10%, much less than non-Chinese debt. China is not the biggest problem, if it is one at all.

Whether projects benefit citizen really is up to African governments. Chinese companies build whatever African governments ask them to; Chinese don't force their projects on Africa. When I buy a house and the house doesn't end up benefiting me, that's my problem for having chosen that house, not the mortgage's fault for "debt trapping" me.

But it's not at all set in stone that none of the projects, or even the majority of the projects, are useless. In a recent study, "China Surpasses US in Eyes of Young Africans, Survey Shows": https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-06-12/china-sur...
> Controlling your money supply can be needed to improve your country's position with regard to foreign trade.

This is basically protectionism, an economic theory that has been debunked time after time. If it were true, then why doesn't it hold true for individual states within a country? And while we are at it, why not a currency for every city or neighborhood?

> Because people still need to be able to transact with something, which is not a function well-served by cryptocurrencies, most of which have the bulk of trade in them carried on off-chain or via stablecoins that track a fiat currency.

Those same systems could simply add support for cryptocurrency. Paypal did a few months ago (not sure if they enabled merchant support or p2p transfers, but there's no technical barrier preventing them to do so). Credit cards could also add crypto to the long list of currencies they already support. Etc.
That's an unusual example. In my experience, Dassault are horrible to deal with. Their byzantine sales and aggressive legal departments have our company seriously looking to jump ship despite the large moving costs that would entail.
How responsible and how powerful you are are two different things. Your equation is a mix of both. Also, your equation does not account for the disparity in motivation. For every truly motivated individual, there's hordes of people who would not show initiative themselves, but are willing to follow. So, if you're a motivated individual, your power is not 1/total_population, but 1/motivated_population.
