> ... 7.5% of her income. That seems astonishingly low, to me.

You've fallen victim to presentism, the cognitive bias of assuming the past was like the present.

Before the 20th century, households spent a far higher proportion on their income on food and on fuel (for space heating, cooking, lighting) than we do today. Clothing and footwear also loomed large in the budget. Housing used to be a relatively smaller cost than these.

7.5% is possibly on the low side for the time, but not astonishingly so.

The fact that older manuscript collections will have multiple texts in a single codex or scroll with little annotation to the existence of these further texts makes even generating a list of what’s in the collection a challenge. This gives me some hope that a complete catalog of the Vatican Secret¹ Archives might exist in my lifetime.

1. “Secret,” here, does not mean what you might assume, but rather refers to the fact that the archive belongs to the Pope personally and not some department of the curia.

As I understand it, Concorde was closer to coach in terms of seats and leg room than modern business (though with service that matched the price tag) so I can't imagine any issues here. If you could fly New York to London in less time than it takes to go from New York to California, while being served well, I can't see that being too much of an issue.
I think it goes beyond automation and into customization. Giving end users the power to "program the program" just makes it possible to make the thing do what they want in a way that it wasn't set out to do. Without having to pay/find/wait for a developer to do it. Sometimes it's about automation. Sometimes it isn't.
Administrating the storage pool.

The worst that comes to mind for me was a node failure in the middle of a major version upgrade. Not likely a big deal for proper deployments, but I don't have enough nodes to tolerate complete node failure for most of my data.

Grabbed a new root/boot SSD, reinstalled the OS, reinstalled the OSDs on each disk, told Ceph what OSD ID each one had previously (not actually sure if that was required), and....voila, they just rejoined the cluster and started serving their data like nothing ever happened.
Super cool and congrats on shipping! Something I'd love to see is the ability to embed a document on other sites via iframes a la GitHub Gist embeds. That way I could, say, write a blog post describing an algorithm, embed an example of the calculations, and allow visitors to tweak the values and see how they affect the output. Well done!

Any election system using DREs is fully digital. That's the whole point.

I'm not aware of any jurisdiction that uses VVPAT for the final count. And most don't even use the VVPAT for auditing or manual recounts. Which is probably just as well, because the VVPAT is just thermal paper (like at the store) and is easily damaged, assuming it was working at all.

Jurisdictions are always changing things. You'd have to get your jurisdiction's manual to learn how they do counts, recounts, audits. And then actually observe to ensure they follow their own rules.

Details matter. Procedures and process matter. Technology is not a cure-all.

> while also being accused it's not satire because I exaggerated too much

Who did this? I certainly didn't. I said the extremism of sounding like an unhinged loon* is what is coming out. Not satire of a stereotypical person against crypto.

I also didn't think what you wrote was satire or exaggeration either. I read your comment as a seriously written one. Yet I don't think it's indicative of your narrative.

--

Your entire logic appears to be literally one comment agreeing with your narrative. I’ll focus on one example.

> The honest to god truth is I didn't realize people were actually saying shit quite this ridiculous until I was told this while being scolded in this thread, that people were saying such ridiculous things that my statement couldn't possibly be interpreted as satire because it was the verbatim argument of the people I was poking fun at.

It isn't people. It is one person. The other two people just like i did, are taking your comment at face value. That doesn't mean they agree with your narrative .

One person's hearsay shouldn't convince you. I actually brought up a specific anti crypto piece, Line Goes Up. Tons of discussions on it online. There aren't enough examples of your narrative in the real world about this for example (outside the consistent but small amount of unpleasant Karen sort of people)

> Maybe that hit too close to home for you, idk.

This is sad. If personally insulting me helps you, go for it!

* why would you take offense to me calling your fake talking as unpleasant. The unpleasantness is your admitted satire. So it's not saying you're unpleasant, heh. That still doesn't stop you from talking about my unpleasantness.

Obviously not all credit cards are the Citibank Double Cash card.

But, there are multiple answers:

1. Some cards have features other than cash back that people want instead. i.e. promotional interest rates.

2. Some people carry a balance, in which case the benefits of using a lower interest card may way outweigh any cash back

3. Not everyone with incomes 135k+ have good credit scores.
Electric baseboard heat with minimal insulation?

A heat pump is much more efficient than electric baseboard heat, you might as well run your computer to generate heat since it is equally as efficient as electric baseboard heat or space heaters.
Try replacing a panel. They make what ought to be routine work, hard. Only in the last couple years has it become cheaper to say screw it and not take their BS and go off grid instead. One of my neighbors already did that instead of spending hundreds of thousands of dollars with PG&E.
There’s no network effect though?

On FB, more people on the social network means the draw to the n+1st user is immense.

There are some pilot projects that have individual prosumers but they all operate at the distribution grid level. There's a concept coming called "DSO" or "Distribution System Operator" where the distribution grid is run more like a typical transmission network. The distribution grid operator could then procure services from DERs, microgrids, etc. [1] has a good overview

I don't use Manjaro anymore, but I really appreciated it as a user-friendly bridge I was able to use to cross the chasm from Ubuntu to Arch.

The i3 community Manjaro made me love tiling window managers. And Manjaro Architect was like a halfway point between the hand-holding installer and the minimal Arch installation experience. It helped me work out what I liked and get to the point where I could administer everything.

I wasn't aware of all the controversies. The only one that popped up on my radar was the treasurer thing. That's all too bad.

I second this. Close to the Bay Area you have UC Santa Cruz and UC Davis… very different vibes but both will have areas with homes <$1M.

Not a college town but also in California are Sacramento, Ventura, San Luis Obispo (CalPoly but I wouldn’t say college town), and San Diego (UCSD but not a college town). The latter three are beach towns if you like temperate climate. Sac doesn’t get too cold but it does get very hot. All have nice downtowns (depending on what you want) and don’t require a car.

You’ll have CA high taxes and real estate probably cost double or triple what it would in the mid-West but a fraction of LA or Bay Area.
Disagree on 2/3. Dull tasks are some of the best for robots - their attention never wanders, they never get fatigued, and their performance is always going to stay consistent. Dangerous jobs are already being given to robots - just look at the military. Even outside of that, humans getting hurt means liability/expensive insurance (not to mention bad publicity).

Humans will probably be stuck with the dirty jobs, though.
I like the quote at the end of the article:

We’re not. We’re not researchers at all. We’re just two people who became obsessed with a problem and put their meager knowledge to use, beating rocks against rocks in different configurations until something resembling a spearhead came out. Our experience with Rust was, up to this point, six blog posts done on introductory Advent of Code problems over the course of six months. We didn’t know much at the start, but we learned. First, we Googled and clicked on the first result. Then we scoured Stack Overflow and papers, and when that failed, we reached out to specialist Discord servers and emailed experts. When existing Rust crates didn’t do what we needed, we made our own Rust crates. We now know a lot of very obscure information about HATETRIS, but you could still fill volumes with things about HATETRIS that we don’t know. Many of the breakthroughs we had were due to ignorance. We pulled out the concept of waveforms because we were terrified that the next thing we’d have to do to push things forward was do complex matrix operations on a GPU. Inventing a new way of thinking about the problem seemed easier.

You, too, can do something like this. Find a problem. Become obsessed with it. Learn everything you can about it. Fall down dead ends. Give up, and then keep thinking about the problem at night. Have Eureka moments that lead you down other dead ends. Find a friend willing to get as obsessed as you are. Underestimate the time commitment, and then refuse to back down. Embrace the sunk cost fallacy. As long as you keep thinking about the problem, even if its in short bursts every few years, you’re still making progress. And if you never finish? If all you find are side-paths and obstacles, and it turns out the entire mission was doomed from the outset? That’s okay too. Projects like this nourish us, because there’s a part of the human mind that wants nothing more than to climb the mountain, rappel into the cave, explore the unknown and grapple with it.
<summary> and <details> but with more JS and a CDN request. Cool.
You mean upgrading your service, not upgrading your panel. Anyway I don't see how being charged for capacity becomes "onerous". Taking a home that needed a main service upgrade off-grid instead would also cost a huge amount of money.
Credit cards are superior to debit cards in every way.

Fraudulent charges can be reversed immediately, don’t impact you at all (since the money isn’t yours). Chargebacks can force a retailer to give your money back.

His role is likely more focused on optimizing the GPU usage, which for AGI will be the largest upfront cost. His work optimizing Oculus and ID tech engines all those years will be very valuable.

He is from the old school programmer philosophy that required code to be as efficient and creative as possible to even run on the hardware of the day.

There are fewer and fewer opportunties to have rewarding work like that since more compute can just be added instead of spending the hours refactoring slow code.

Ah, the good ole days when the relationship between hardware and software wasnt given an easy mode for developing new software at the expense of performance.

Kids these days dont know how good they have it. Back in my day, every clock counted!

The answer from Miguel Ojeda, who made the patch series:

“Of course! What happens here is that we use, for the moment, `alloc`, which is part of the Rust standard library. However, we will be customizing/rewriting `alloc` as needed to customize its types (things
like `Box`, `Vec`, etc.) so that we can do things like pass allocation flags, ensure we always have fallible allocations, perhaps reuse some
of the kernel data structures, etc.

Cheers, Miguel”
Well, what you said is this.

> FM does not guarantee most mortgages, only certain govt types like FHA and VA loans, which the govt decided to back in order to help low income people get loans (otherwise the rates would be even higher for them).

And this.

> The OP claimed they guaranteed mortgages, which they do not.

So it read to me like they don't guarantee mortgages save for the "special" mortgages for underserved groups (FHA/VA). In fact, they do. They guarantee all the loans they buy, as far as I know. They only buy conforming loans. Conforming loans are another way of saying, loans that they will buy (and guarantee). Of course they don't guarantee loans they don't buy.

I used to work at a mortgage originator, and we sold the majority of our loans to Fannie and Freddie.

> Of all conforming loans made, Freddie and Fannie end up purchasing about 60% of those.

This is true, because private investors pay more than Freddie and Fannie for conforming loans.

It’s interesting that things like that are important to some and are completely ignored by the others. It reminds the eternal game engine enhancements race where people look for what’s most realistic with every release. Meanwhile, a dos game from the nineties has no realism conceived in it and expects either a pure power of imagination or in most cases just an acceptance of conventions from its player. (Same for eyes, noses and other proportions in anime.)

I see it as a similar phenomenon. Personally I don’t give a damn if something is off or not, clearly noticeable or hidden. Why would I? What’s the point of the art/painting/photo/etc following some arbitrary rules? All these pics would make a fantastic zero-cost background for a novel, a quest or whatever.
That has more to do with a foreign credit card.

Risk limiting audits aka statistical sampling. There is no way to be absolutely certain the final count is 100% correct. Which is sorta okay most of the time, when the margin of victory is greater than the error rate.

Our FPTP voting system is the most brittle. 50% + 1 vote.

Election integrity would be greatly improved by switching to voting systems more resilient to errors. Specifically Approval Voting (or RCV) for single seat contests and Proportional Representation for assemblies.

Manjaro is the distribution I switched to from Windows, which was my daily driver for 20+ years. I've heard many people complaining about Manjaro updates breaking their system, but to be honest I've never had a problem. It's been a solid distro with a good UX. The Manjaro forum is generally helpful. Overall my switch from Windows has been easy.

However I am looking to switch to a different distro, mainly because I've felt a strange dynamic between the Manjaro leadership and users. I would rather spend my time in a community I feel better about.

I imagine that most people don't have similar concerns, which is why Manjaro attracts users.
I'm convinced that people afraid of electronic voting are either hucksters that like the status quo or people who've been convinced by them.

if you're worried about voting being a black box, it already kind of is. what proof did you get that your last vote was accounted for properly? who counted it?

if you're worried about "hacking" you're not paying quite enough attention. We have secure systems that exist. At least as secure as a fuckton of snail mail managed by tens of thousands of the worlds most insecure asset, people.

I like your system. Ping me if there's ever an open codebase and I'll contribute.
Good but still a decade too late. The CC companies won't remove the actual magstripe (and thus the vulnerabilities it represents!) until it's not necessary anywhere.

Here it's been banned from all payment terminals since 2014 IIRC. But skimming is still a thing because they send the card scans to other countries where magstripes are still permitted :(

You're forgetting about taxes though. A lot of cash-based transactions are not declared.

Edit: rather, it's easier to not declare cash income, than income from credit cards. Also keep in mind that the taxi company may take a cut of the revenue too.

My wife's new car, to many screens. My old car, buttons I can touch from memory without looking. The worst part about her car, you can customize the screen in front of the driver but not really. 3 items on the screen - circular thing, status thing, circular thing. There are a total of ~12 versions of the stuff in the circular thing. The information in circular things would work just fine on either side. However for some reason they spilt it 6+6. You want item from right circle to be on left side, nope! There is no reason why. It is a flat display (ie, on flat screen, not 3 screens) and it is just software. No reason for this. It is a display.
For everything that is normal, like AC, etc. please just stick to buttons!

There are more types of fruit trees in the US than in any other country. I'm active on fruit tree enthusiast forums where members buy seeds online from every corner of the world. They are never inspected.
