This comment rubs me all the wrong ways possible.

Is the posted link supposed to be a reference? That is your own tweet aka self-reference, boasting your own contribution.

In the tweet itself you say "estimate"! How do arrive at such a grandiose estimate?

How do you attribute a saved carbon footprint to an optimization in a command line tool? You cannot even approximate that. I would argue that such tiny optimizations make 0, nil difference in overall energy consumption on my local machine, all my laptops and all the servers in this building.

I'm not saying that we shouldn't run optimized code, but everyone can scream around random numbers.

>I'm not sure why, but when this first happened with me - it was selling a book I wrote online - it started to change my way of thinking, opening a realm of possibilities I never considered before.

Similar story for me. I published my first ebook under pay what you want model. I was just trying to get my feet wet, so to speak, and I knew there wouldn't be much demand for that book. Getting the first payment was a wonderful feeling. Kept me motivated for the second book, for which I expected lot more demand and it did kickstart my career as an author.
None of this prevents or exposes tampering except possibly a picture of the random air bubbles in the ice, which only provides exactly the same protection as the glitter and by the same mechanism. Everything else is just a lot of silly theater.
I would like to see some evidence for this "continued deregulation" I always hear about. Seems like everywhere I look regulation either has stayed the same or been tightened.
Yes.

I have made it sound like that because I wanted it to sound exactly like that.

The "official" motivating force is the one you mentioned, but that doesn't mean that it is the actual one, nor that lowest bid is actually the best possible formula[0].

It is the up-to-date "the algorithm made me do it" version of the "officer, the devil made me do it" excuse when (if) the project is delayed or goes over budget, the builders are usually considered the culprits (whether it is actually their fault or not) and they were selected by applying the algorithm (so all is fine).

Consider how you (private person) would normally award the construction of your house, likely you would:

1) find a list of local contractors (mostly from world of mouth)

2) get from 3-5 of them offers

3) compare them, analyze them with your arhitect/engineer, talk with offerers about possible mistakes/inconsistencies

4) finally choose the builder (more often than not you will choose not the lowest bidder but rather the one that overall seems to you more capable/reliable/interested in the work)

With what a (say) local council would probably do to build (still say) a small school:

1) publish a request for bids

2) obtain anything between (say) 10 and 200 offers

3) award the contract to the lowest (and valid according to the algorithm) offer

It is clear that in your private case you have no incentive for corruption, but - in order to avoid the risk of corruption - the council just awarded the contract to a "number".

This "number", more likely than not, is the result of "blind shooting", the builders need a certain number of contracts and they need to make many offers, and have no time to analyze them in detail.

[0] as a matter of fact "pure" lowest bid is relatively rare there are usually a number of corrective items either in the algorithm or in the norms regulating the bid, in some cases they can be effective, in some cases they introduce some perverse incentives to the offerers.

> Will you build a bridge that’s inexpensive, but will have to be replaced in 25 years, or will you spend twice the money for more concrete and more steel to make it last for 50?

> > Of course the second (which is what is actually usually done) the issue being that in real world after 50/60/70/80 years the bridge won't be replaced/repaired.

Assuming the bridge would actually be replaced at its actual end of life (25/50 years) and assuming a horrible return on spending (double money for only double the life), I'd say the 25 year option would be better in many (not all) cases.

From a cash flow perspective, it'd be helpful for a local government to avoid immediately spending on infrastructure costs that could be delayed for 25 years (when the lower cost bridge would be due to be rebuilt).

From the unknown future perspective, the city/town population could possibly change (bigger/smaller) 25 years into the future.

If the population grows, replacement bridge would need to be bigger and they could use the saved money to build a bigger one. Of course, if the population shrinks, they could spend less on a smaller replacement bridge.

Again, this assumes a poor return on increased spending. Doubling the costs to double the life. If you could double the costs and triple the life or increase the cost by only 50% to double the life, the equation favors going with the longer term bridge.
A really common library that gets used in every project for common use-cases is big.

It's a very good argument.
Can confirm, it works. I’ve tried it myself directly.
Speaking about iptables - is there anything in the wild that allows users make request to web port and I can approve/deny particular requests?

For example, 443/TCP is blocked from world. However if someone opens web page, it returns <html><body>Access request from IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx has been submitted</body></html> (or maybe a form where you put port number you'd like to access) and from server-side I can somehow see those requests, useragents and accept/deny and just ignore bots.

Use-case: Some photoalbum is locked down, accessed by particular IPs/countries/vpn (to reduce or prevent bruteforcing, automated hacking and such) - however I'd like to give access to someone (who doesn't know his IP) by just giving him a domain name. https://photos.example.com - yeah, he sees that unfriendly page. After a while I call him and say - try again and poof, next time he opens the page, he penetrates the firewall and gets pictures.

The thing is:

- VPN is too much of an ask to a person I want to send a link to some data

- Country block is very rough filter, just helps to reduce some log traffic from uninteresting countries with loads of bots.

- Asking person his IP is very manual: "please open/google up such phrase, send me that address and I'll look up my notes to copy/paste that iptables command and I'll modify it slightly (or add some config entry to .htaccess) to put your IP in and then you'll have access until you reconnect to your mobile network or your ISP gives you new DHCP address and then we'll repeat"

"Knockwall" doesn't return much results, eh.
https://www.livecoinwatch.com/crypto-market-cap

it was hardly a crash. crypto market is simply huge. there is no denying this
Such numbers always fascinate me, and showcase my ignorance (I freely admit it; I had a "Ask HN" recently about some "Economy 101" suggestions:) of both regular financial/economy, as well as crypto.

It's 1T worth of... what?

I can kinda sorta understand 1T of car factories and farms and food plants. I can understand the over-simplified-into-nothingness capital model of I give you $1000, you build a factory, you build cars, you create value, eventually you give me back $1100. Or something.

I can even intuitively understand (or fool myself) as to 1T of services - tourism, accounting, software, consulting. I can see its place in the world, the interconnectedness with industry and people and products and markets.

I cannot visualize/intuitively understand 1T of crypto. It feels so... insular, self-contained. 1T of... companies running datacentres running random calculations... for money, kind of? People giving each other more and more non-crypto money and making it very complex? It feels like this whirl-storm of activity, vortex that sucks stuff ("real world money") in, but I don't understand its connectivity to outside world, it's output, the balance of interfaces. My mental image is incomplete and clearly wrong.

(I suppose I should think of it more along the lines of, say, Gold market, but I don't understand that either :D )

It's really not. I can't install tensorflow more than 10 times before I'm done. Virtualenvs are not fit for purpose.
This is amazingly wrong.

Car companies did well because people wanted cars.

I mean, go to small, transit-centric places like Singapore and see what people want to spend their money on… it’s cars.
What tool or command do you use to do that?
Good comment, but this will get killed by libs. However you are too high with 30k. I think something like 3k should be plenty to finance our government, and affordable for all. If the rich want a more expensive program that the poor cannot afford then they gotta find another way to finance it, rather than from taxes. Our government is supposed to represent all of its people, not give preferential treatment to the rich, the poor, blacks or whites, retirees or students, renters or landlords etc. Its none of its business.

No, saying "one common library is big" isn't a good way to show that "Python dependencies are big", which is what the initial claim was. Most libraries are tiny, and there's a very big one because it does many things. If Tensorflow were in JS it wouldn't be any smaller.
If we disconnect ourselves from the political anglosphere it's well agreed upon that easier access to deadlier weapons has an immediate effect on levels of crime, violent or not. [1][2]

Humans are impulse decision makers. Easy access to the needed tools just decreases impulse resistance. The simplest way this can be observed is in suicide. Lax rules for the access to deadly firearms has a direct effect on suicide rates.

The reason you think it isn't in good faith is likely due to corporate owned media pushing specific narratives to keep workers placated
> Elites are old money not new

This is the big one right here. Europe has pretty much missed the boat on tech so its elites are from older industries that tech is starting to compete with. You can see this same dynamic here in the US as the legacy media has declared war on the tech industry for threatening its power.
Of course. Even google has been tightening their spending in recent years. A great example is limiting promotion opportunities.

The primary purpose of the EU is administering a common market that consists of a large number of sovereign states. Each state naturally wants to be protectionist and give domestic businesses advantages over those from other member states. The EU can't allow that, as it would destroy the common market.

As a consequence, the EU has a lot of experience in pushing against powerful interests. It's doing that all the time, and it's also moderately successful at that. While many attempts at regulating giant businesses or forcing member states to do something they don't want ultimately fail, sometimes the EU manages to get things done.
Funny enough, Hellman & Friedman headquarters are located in the Salesforce Tower :D
There are several reasons.

1. Many parts of Europe still have a strong labor movement. This is the only effective counterbalance to corporate power in politics. The US has what may be the lowest rate of union coverage in the OECD (~10%) and most of that is police and teacher unions;

2. Europe by and large is not hypercapitalist like the US is. The normal is social democracy, which is still fundamentally capitalist but way less extreme;

3. Religion. Different European countries have more or less mostly Christian influence but that influence is way less militant. White evangelicalism and its effect ofn politics is more akin to wahhabism in Saudi Arabia. It's also hyper-capitalist;

4. The election process itself in European countries isn't generally political. US states often have the Secretary of State in charge of elections and that's a political office. Redistricting is inherently political. Other countries don't do this. Electoral boundaries are more often drawn by an independent organization;

5. Europe doesn't suffer from the "money = speech" falsehood; and

6. Europe still has the recent memory of two World Wars and the HOlocaust that favors cooperation over division.
The more well compensated you are, the more disconnected you are from the perils of working class poverty. Most people I know who are well compensated don't see an issue with the system simply because it has worked for them

I should note that these people are well compensated workers, and they are not capital owners even if they aspire to be one some day which helps solidify the ideals of capitalism working for them

> Is your thesis American knew about CO2 and gauged how bad it would be and decided the positive effects from warming meant it was better to encourage greater CO2 output?

While I assume it was a joke, global warming was certainly known of at the time. It wasn't super-well understood (they couldn't make detailed predictions in the way they can today), but they would have known that adding CO2 would raise the temperature.

"...you can't mess with that remotely."

I don't know enough about the subject to agree or disagree with this statement but you've got me curious. Is that a:

A. "It's fundamentally impossible to make this change because operating systems cannot be modified in this way by a remote system" (i.e. making a change at this level of the architecture would result in the remote connection being dropped and all of the attackers work becomes moot.)

B. "The code has been reviewed and hardened sufficiently that experts are universally assured that attempting this type of remote change will fail."

...or am I looking at this the wrong way and it's secure for a completely different reason? I've always been taught to be skeptical of any statement of perceived certainty when it involves computer security so I appreciate additional details so I can expand my knowledge.

Thank you in advance!

Liquidity is what actually matters here. Your 1t figure includes all of the celciuscoins and many other coins which can't be sold in any meaningful amount.
Right. This is boring, and therefore not fun to talk about. But it's extremely clear that there are substantial differences between the parties to the point that I don't know how to have a conversation with someone who wants to deny this, and talking about the No Surprises Act (for instance) won't lead to a flamewar, so you won't hear about it.

- “YouTube showing me bitcoin scam ads because I’m from a college neighborhood and some biz geofenced us”

Looking at the exploit code [1], sadly, you don't...

They're using the fact that you can become "root" in a new namespace. So you need cgroups. After that, you're free to change NFTables in that namespace. I was just playing around with this:

$ unshare -r --net --user capsh --print

and comparing it to

$ sudo capsh --print

Both give you all caps. Exploiting a parser bug in NFTables doesn't require access to the main namespace; just something to get past the initial cap checks.

The only mistake here is that you chose to apply a separate higher standard to crypto, as opposed to seeing how a lower standard fraught with disaster is used in traditional markets.

This is a conversation about “public float”, and so your comparison or explanation of whats hard to understand for you should be about float.
