Meaning non-Hispanic whites, who are 62% of the non-other races of the US committed 36% of the inter-racial homicides against Asians, while Blacks, who are 13%, committed 37%.

And to be honest, even all of your numbers completely ignore the elephant in the room.

ie - the fact that the group committing the largest number of homicides against asians are, well, asians. Simple facts like that are ignored by people pushing racial statistics in one direction or another because it doesn't line up with their world views.

People seem almost fearful to admit that it's actually whites who kill whites, blacks who kill blacks, asians who kill asians, hispanics who kill hispanics, native americans who kill native americans, and so on. The implications of these inconvenient facts seem too devastating to the current societal psychology to allow those facts to be broadcast too widely. Much easier on our psychology to blame whites, or blacks, or hispanics, or anyone really, other than intra-racial violence.

I realize the article is not strictly about homicide, but since your comment brought forth the issue I thought now would be as good a time as any to bring up the elephant in the room. And that elephant is the fact that, if we want to fear, well, we all have far more to "fear" from what are supposedly "our own", than we have to "fear" from "the other".

IME that isn't true. I'd like to know if you've any evidence of this at all. It's a trope too easily repeated but never seen any evidence presented.

I do agree that cynicism can come from older people simply mistreated/abused/ignored too long by a company, but that's directly from their treatment, and then, that isn't as common as one might expect. Again, IME.

I keep reading they are an ad company and that’s fair except they are doing a really bad job. I keep seeing the same ad over and over and over again. Those are annoying loud ads that are more region than preference based. You don’t need some personalized ad system to find out what kind of ad a person watching a video game video would be interested.

Skipping a video to look for a certain scene will trigger double ads and sometimes you will see another set of ads a few seconds later.

If a video is less than 3 minutes long and it starts with unskipable 12 seconds ad followed by another one I don’t even bother.

I would guess that Nike just advertises broadly so that there doesn't need to be a trigger. Would fit right into the advertising of Advanced Publications and this may have been a coincidence.

I've basically been building CRUD backends for websites and later apps since about 1996.

I've fortunately/unfortunately never yet been involved in a project that we couldn't comfortably host using one big write master and a handful of read slaves.

Maybe one day a project I'm involved with will approach "FAANG scale" where that stops working, but you can 100% run 10s of millions of dollars a month in revenue with that setup, at least in a bunch of typical web/app business models.

Early on I did hit the "OMG, we're cooking our database" where we needed to add read cacheing. When I first did that memcached was still written in Perl. So that joined my toolbox very early on (sometime in the late 90s).

Once read cacheing started to not keep up, it was easy enough to make the read cache/memcached layer understand and distribute reads across read slaves. I remember talking to Monty Widenius at The Open Source Conference, I think in Sad Jose around 2001 or so, about getting MySQL replication to use SSL so I could safely replicate to read slaves in Sydney and London from our write master in PAIX.

I have twice committed the sin of premature optimisation and sharded databases "because this one was _for sure_ going to get too big for our usual database setup". It only ever brought unneeded grief and never actually proved necessary.
I love to hate PHP. From a design perspective it is pure garbage. It allows you to do so many basic and stupid mistakes which better language design could have prevented.
Code is law.

The entire crypto ecosystem is built on the idea that it stands outside the regulatory system because they’ve discovered this magic elixir which means you don’t need government laws and enforcement anymore.

None of them are system changes.

Yes, 1 and 3 would be fantastic – although switching to electric without at the same time reducing SOVs is IMO very inadequate if you take int account all of the planetary boundaries, not just climate change. 2 is a policy that might stem from the system change, not the actual change. 4 is not based on facts: there are billions of people in the world who are living within planetary boundaries. Can't stress this enough: it's not "humans" that are the problem but the wealthy people that are taking more from nature than nature can regenerate.

A meaningful system change to me is where there is a deliberate and continued reduction in material flows and energy use in the rich countries until they are below planetary boundaries. That can be done if they deliberately start reducing overproduction. That in turn would happen if governments would abandon the goal of aggregate economic growth across all sectors, but instead increase the parts of the economy that produce well-being and scale down the parts that don't. Another system change would be if the rich countries would pay for the catastrophic damage they have inflicted on the countries worst affected by climate change, and then stop taking advantage of poor countries by ending unequal exchange.

Those would be system changes.

I'm not saying nothing except politics is needed – everything would be doubly hard if e.g. solar wouldn't have become so cheap.

But given what is easy in the current world (producing and selling stuff) and what is hard (creating political change), I wish that the most capable and smartest people in the world would work mostly on the hard parts.

Sure, and to be honest it's probably a decade ago since I last heard a punch card story from a colleague.

Now I guess "the punch card story" has been replaced by people like me saying things like "I remember when hard drives where measured in megabytes" and "You know when I first installed Linux on my computer at home I needed a stack of 30 floppy disks (and you won't believe what happened when it turned out disk 22 was corrupted)" :)

And soon it will be replaced by "when I was young we had to do web development using nothing but JavaScript and JQuery, we didn't even have an import statement"

Followed a few years later "back in my day we had these things called 'docker containers', and let me tell you deploying them on AWS was no walk in the park..."

Maybe not so obvious, but a hard and interesting CS problem with a big impact on climate is compiler design. If you can make a 0.1% performance improvement in Gcc or LLVM, you will save a huge amount of power and CO2. Compiler designers are the true unsung heroes of software.

Nuclear is not cheap.

> We also know how to use solar, wind and aqua. It will never be as efficient as splitting the atom though.

It doesn't have to be as "efficient" as your steam engine with generations-waste-extra. It's cheap as hell and it's getting cheaper and better fast. Something you can't say about nuclear. A technology from the past.

Because:

a) you didn't offer any solution for the waste

b) you can spend every dollar only once

c) we're right on the path to the new cold war....you should get rid of those rotting vulnerabilities and opt in for decentralised independence.
The public markets are fucking stupid. A good company is managed for the next 25 years while a public company has to be managed for the next quarter.

> Every time the merge is delayed, price drops

You are conflating "people losing tokens" with "people losing the USD value of their tokens." It is very likely that the market becomes unpredictable before and after the merge, value of ETH may plummet or skyrocket, and holders of ETH should be prepared for that.

> The bomb is an embarrassment because every time it gets pushed out, that is essentially the minimum amount of time before the merge can happen.

That is not how the bomb works. It is a soft deadline. If the developers feel the merge is ready, they can initiate it before the bomb occurs, and miners will immediately be forced to transition their hardware to other PoW networks. If the developers do not feel the merge is ready, and the bomb is fast approaching, they can delay the bomb by another month or even a year and it will not have an impact on the timing of when they actually decide to initiate the merge.

If the worst that can happen is "embarrassment" for having to delay the merge again to fix a critical bug, I think you are overblowing this. The developers will happily delay the merge until all the bugs are fixed, and the users are happy to have this happen as they would rather wait for a working merge than rush toward a broken one.

> How. I want a detailed plan. So far, I haven't seen it.

Every time the protocol rules change, developers are activating a fork by coming to consensus on the new rules - all client software must coordinate code updates to match the new rules. Eth core developers and client teams have been doing this regularly over the years, and especially during the approach to the merge. They can coordinate a revert or fork, just as they have coordinated the past several forks[1], to fix these issues.

It is fine to imagine a hypothetical failure case for the merge but this does not mean "it cannot be fixed." It might be messy, the value may drop, coordinating the fix may take some hours or days, and it is even possible the chain stops producing blocks for some short while if it is very catastrophic. Users still holding ETH going into the merge should be prepared for these situations, it is probably the most significant development in crypto currency and DLT since the Bitcoin genesis block.

Laravel is the top choice for PHP frameworks these days which auto opts you into Blade. And just from my my own personal experience (so not necessarily a great sampling) every non-legacy PHP codebase I've been involved with on various teams had adopted other template engines with Twig being most common.

Also, to be frank, it's a real shame that people look down their noses at PHP so much just because of the sheer amount there is that can be learned about the practical application of design patterns from spending some time in the Laravel code base.
