This kind of dangerous logic is how you end up with anti-vax conspiracy theories about Bill Gates and mind control, about how one could trust Pfizer’s Phase 3 vaccine trial data they submitted for approval, etc.

On the one hand, yes of course: sources matter and you need to consider whether anyone has a motive to mislead, or even merely a motive to not dig too deeply into a claim they might wish to believe.

But on the other hand, a company merely merely being founded decades ago by a someone of a particular nationality does not on its own constitute strong evidence that any claims about that country are tainted or self-motivated. That connection is just too weak — you need to bring other evidence!

Agree that is was not a great idea, or one that anyone asked for.

I saw it as a way for Canonical to start bringing end-user-oriented features to the Linux desktop, something that Linux sorely needed circa 00s and early 10s. They also had the forethought to bring web apps to the desktop before most major players did.

It was all part of their 'continutity' push at the time: desktop and phone in one cohesive interface. Too early for its time, but its clearly working for Apple.
I know of this problem in Korea and even know one couple affected. I've thought that it may be caused by the stressful nature of Korean life. Is this difficulty in conceiving also prevalent among persons of Korean ancestry raised in America?
There's actually a startup, TexPower, that is working on a cobalt-free lithium-nickel battery:

https://innovation.uh.edu/companies/texpower

The founder, Arumugam Manthiram, published several papers on the topic, introducing promising new chemistries:

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1002/adma.2020027... (nickel-manganese-aluminium)

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdfdirect/10.1002/aenm.2... (nickel-aluminium-titanium-magnesium)

https://pdf.sciencedirectassets.com/313056/1-s2.0-S240582972... (review)

Seems promising. The lead candidate previously for matching cobalt without the cobalt was lithium-vanadium-phosphate, but it has a variable voltage output that makes it difficult to work with.

In effect, a force-post transaction is just a normal transaction that didn't use the authorization process. It turns out that this is a thing that can happen!

> Try to describe how you have considered and rejected other possible explanations for the observed phenomena.

Sure. I use abductive logic/reasoning to connect different data points (this could be a study, social trend, major event, etc) and reason out how/why that outcome might be possible (and whether or not there are any gaps/inconsistencies in that reasoning).

For example, our current economic situation: massive, unpayable federal debt, rising inflation, and a serious constriction of the middle class. My first question for all of these things is "how does that happen, academically speaking?"

Well, a massive unpayable debt is only achievable via government spending. Taking that a step further, how does that spending happen? Mismanaged budgets, pork barrel legislation (they just passed the "Inflation Reduction Act" which does nothing to limit inflation and only contributes to it via more spending), and increasing the money supply. If my thesis is "the government is at fault," at this point I stop and say "could anything else possibly affect these things?" If my answer is no, I continue my thinking.

Next, I consider the social implications of something like this. What happens when people don't have money? First, anxiety, then, as they approach poverty: depression, anger, despair, etc. As the money supply increases, there are more dollars competing for the same resources and so prices go up (effectively devaluing the currency). This translates to more effort being required of an individual to keep up with the price increases, leading to some degree of mental pressure (doubly so if that increase is steady). If you factor in rising crime rates, well, what do people do when they're desperate for basic needs? Yep, crime.

So, you're stressed out because you're working harder but not earning more, you have less money for enjoying life and instead dedicate all of your resources to needs/survival (which creates a feeling of being trapped). Eventually, all of this mental pressure starts to affect your day-to-day behavior. If you're in a relationship, that relationship will undoubtedly suffer issues. If you're strapped for cash, you won't be terribly concerned with your health and will "just eat whatever" (either because it's affordable, or, that cheap junk food is the only good feeling/dopamine you get in your day). And guess what immense amounts of stress affect? Cortisol levels. What does that affect? Hormones.

So, in this one example, we've got the government's mismanagement of the economy leading to mental health problems, physical health problems, and relationship problems. To validate it, I ask "what are the inconsistencies?" In the reasoning above, there are none. You can easily trace back each of those problems to a root of poor decision making in the government.

"web server" can refer to the whole box, as opposed to the userspace software in particular, so it's not wrong per-se.
Stress tests on consumer SSD's consistently show 300-500megabytes/s.
The whole point of an SSD is that it has ridiculously high available iops, so what you are saying literally does not make sense.

a consumer SSD will have about 50k iops at that 300-500megabyte/s . The access pattern will not practically matter at all until you saturate that or get close. The drive is effectively constant time until you hit the limits of the interface, or at least get somewhere near it. A consumer will never get near it.

So they can expect, and consistent testing shows, they will get 300-500 megabytes/s in real world conditions, and even harsh conditions.

I actually have no idea why you don't just say "yeah, i was wrong" and move on.
It's clear you are wrong about this - there is no data to support what you are saying.
It's also totally and completely orthogonal to a more rasonable argument - they don't care about the speed anyway.

IE arguing they don't have equipment that can saturate 1gbps is silly - they clearly do.
arguing they wouldn't care either way because the speed difference doesn't matter to them is more reasonable.

A big part of our social circle consists of recent immigrants from Korea (< 10 years) - my wife included (I've been here 30+ years).

But it does seem to affect Korean-Americans that have been here longer too.

Even amongst our close family, my cousin is affected, two of her cousins are affected. All three were born and raised in Korea to adulthood and came here within the past 10 years. My cousin has an American (Caucasian) husband, her two cousins have born-in-the-USA Korean-American husbands.

Interestingly enough, our friends of other nationalities don't seem to be as affected - or maybe they just don't talk about this subject as openly? Either way, I have not noticed the twins phenomenon there.
So, if Tether _were_ to freeze Tornado Cash addresses, do we have any idea of how bad this would be for Tether? As in, how much of the volume through Tether would be impacted? I'm just speculating here, but is it perhaps the case that Tether cannot afford to freeze Tornado Cash addresses without entering some sort of vicious spiral downwards, as lower volume makes it harder to keep the peg, which makes volume (in) even lower, which makes it even harder to keep the peg, etc.?

Just uninformed speculation, I don't know the crypto space, just throwing it out for the more informed to comment on.
The statement makes sense if you take web server to mean a logical unit including the underlying kernel.
I have no evidence for this beyond my own anecdotal experience but my guess is the biggest factor is lack of affordable housing. The average price of an apartment in Soul is 1.18 billion won (883k usd). It’s very difficult to buy a home and live off a single income as a young Korean, this is forcing people to start families later or not at all.

One compounding factor could be the extension of childhood, which has been a very successful strategy for humans, and is more prevalent in the developed world.
> They can certainly say that, but since the executive power is constitutionally vested in the president in Article II, it can't be true barring a constitutional amendment.

Re: that case; yes for executive classification [The Supreme Court determined in its 1988 decision on Department of the Navy v. Egan that the president’s power over classified information comes from executive authority granted by Article II, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution, which says, in part, that the “President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States.”]. However, Restricted Data is under the SOLE authority of the Department of Energy[1] to declassify, even if the DoE is under the executive branch. The law is specifically written, in fact, so that the president is not explicitly given the authority to declassify materials, yet does play a role in declassification once the DoE initiates the process, which implies that Congress did not wish to grant the presidency that power. But I'm not a lawyer, and my opinion means little.

FWIW, I also omitted what's perhaps the most telling sign: increasingly it is not possible to find an email address for an entity or know whether or not a found address is useful or monitored.

That is: organisations are increasingly abandoning email, at least for public-facing work.

Ironically, Google are perhaps most notorious for this (HN is one of numerous Google-email-contact alternatives for problem resolution).

More generally, the end state of any universal communications medium of unlimited reach and access ... is abandonment. Absent some viable mechanism for curtailing usage, the only viable options become either shutting off the system entirely, or at best, randomly sampling from amongst submissions.

Conversation, and communication, both scale poorly.
The designers solved for a deficiency in their bank accounts not anyone else’s.
Apart from "Husband-Wife-relation" and "money shouldn't be in between a relationship" comments. Here is my take and what we do.

Have you tried a shared account? Every month, each deposit the same amount of money, lets say 4K each, towards house and common expenses anything you both/the family spend. All extra money carry forwards and utilize it for more payments towards the house loan, extra purchase for the home or a happy vacation trip. Always maintain a positive shared-account balance. Anytime the balance goes negative, split it equally and reload it.

P.S: My wife earns more than me. She spends on her dresses and bags with her money in the bank, I spend my money on keyboards & shoes.. We never found any issues with that..

I don’t think it’s possible anymore to have a nuanced conversation about DevOps or SRE without getting bogged down in the nomenclature. I’ve never had a fun discussion about it and never seen anyone change their mind or even just walk away happy.

I think the conversation needs to happen component by component, function by function to make progress. Is this issue oncall? Let’s talk about oncall. Is the issue overly complicated deployments? Let’s talk about that instead.

I think there is both immeasurable good in having a more complete picture of an application and immeasurable pain in completely throwing away specialization. The happy medium is going to differ for each team and trying to cookie cutter yourself based on some made up, smooshed together word like DevOps or copy what Google did with SRE (which actually varies quite a bit team to team in my experience) is going to end in pain.

I think it's less about preserving sparkling blue eyes and more about the negative effects of a declining population on a country's economy. Sam Harris had a guest (Peter Zeihan) a few episodes ago who talked about the downsides of population decline, and he was pretty interesting.

One of the key points he made that seemed fairly intuitive is that as your population declines you eventually wind up with significantly fewer long term experts in various fields of science and engineering. This means that the people who train up the next generation of scientists and engineers are spread thinner, and therefore less depth of expertise in those fields as the decline continues.

I'm not sure how much that idea is backed up by evidence, but it at least makes some sense.

Population decline had never really registered as a problem to me until I heard that episode - I always kinda figured that less people around would be a net good. Definitely worth a listen if you're interested in the topic.

Doing application programming in Python now after some years of Scala, the uncertainty when I'm looking at code is overwhelming. What type will this argument be? Any type. What fields are optional in this record? All of them. Is this variable bound here? It depends. Will this line of code be executed on a computer? Maybe, but the next line of code may be daydreamed by a taco.

There are ways to fight against this uncertainty (Pydantic, etc.) but you learn to unit test every little damn thing.

Scala will make you feel stupid sometimes because you don't understand the ideas underlying a piece of code, but a language like Python makes you discount your ability to know anything. A line of code "x = y" might be exercised by three different unit tests, but maybe they didn't follow that one code path where y is never bound. I get more paranoid about simplifying logic in Python than I ever did in Scala. Reading other people's code is like being a jaded detective in a noir film. The function parameter is named user_count, but the last time you assumed a parameter like that was a number, you took a blackjack to the back of the head and woke up wanted for murder.

This is just an observation about one narrow aspect of Python, by the way. I'm productive in Python, it's fun, and it's an amazing experience. The feeling of proximity to power with Python is unrivaled.
