I’m not sure I understand why, can you elaborate? Laws set standards and protect us, and we know they work even when they’re a blunt instrument. Seat belts took mandated action when lawmakers recognized that safety was more important than choice. Emissions and fuel economy standards are valuable. These are all things I agree with as a citizen and I’m glad that the government demands it of car companies. History is as likely to show this new one is as good an idea as the previous laws, and future generations will have the luxury of believing it was inevitable.

You do need distributed consensus--your 'single synchronous redundant storage mechanism' cannot work without it. You're basically just offloading the distributed system state to this magic system you're inventing. That's fine, and that's exactly what k8s does with etcd. If you want to boil the ocean and reinvent k8s because you don't like its yaml or whatever, that's cool and I hope your employer supports you in those endeavors.
Short answer is yes, current grid is capable of handling demand of everyone getting electric cars.

Horseshit. At current adoption rates states will have no troubles expanding power generation to keep up but instantly transforming every vehicle into a BeV would require nearly 50% more generational capability than we currently have.
Your post makes many assumptions. One - existence of trustless bridges from PoW chain to Ethereum (trustful bridges are rather easy to kill). Second, regulation can be achieved in a way OFAC does it - "anyone who holds/buys this token is a felon". This drives money away from the chain, reducing its PoW budget.

And I really suspect that Ethereum will win the race anyway. At least until something really juicy appears (like private contracts, chain-managed secrets, etc).

I think my biggest concern with the idea as specified is that most projects probably need to be trying to fund multiple issues, but that could lead to overcommitting if multiple fund at around the same time. I suppose you could guard against that by capping estimated workload and preventing new issues from "succeeding" if they would put that over the top. It seems like it would be frustrating to have contributed to a goal and see it get enough money pledged, but then not get the thing I want because some other goal finished first. On the other hand, that might be helpful pressure to get people contributing?

Not only that but I feel that a lot of these “are we going back to cable” are people too young to have used it.

The worst part of cable is the ads - when I travel and go to a hotel, I find that cable TV is unwatchable, it feels like 25% of the playtime is devoted to ads.

I've started carrying an Amazon Fire Stick with me if I'm going to be in a hotel for more than a few days (usually for work) since most TV's have an accessible HDMI port, then I can watch all my streaming channels. Hotel Wifi is so spotty that I normally use a hotspot.

The arguments against EV cars is that they're too expensive. But an E-bike capable of 28mph (and seats 1) can be bought for just 800$ (i know because I bought one and use it to commute to work -> and it is fantastic!). The cheapest EV car costs 35K and can go 95mph+ (not that you would), and seats 5. Why is there nothing in between? Regulation. If we allowed the EV industries to innovate and create new products without such restrictive regulations, I think we'd see a ton of cheaper EV mobility options. I would venture to bet, you could even create 4 seaters capable of 50mph well under 10K$. You can always add more regulations later on, if you really need to, but without even allowing the innovation to take place in the first place, we'll never know what's possible.

Probably "King" was identified as a gendered word. You can find some discussion of this on the subreddit r/dalle2. Sometimes the images are quite poor, but in this case, openAI is doing additional tampering.

That's cool, but the stats continue to show wealth causes increase in driving and people continue to live pretty far away from work. Most people are not going to cycle after getting home from work or prior. The few Amsterdam anecdotes in this thread don't weight up against the masses driving 20+ minutes and the high traffic roads being expanded again.

Now add the many laws favorable towards cyclists and measurements taken to accommodate them. It's not empathy. It's saving one's own hide from causing a lot of harm, a sense of guilt and the potential lawsuit waiting to happen. There's no special empathy given to cyclists in particular, only universal respect towards any non-motorized vehicle and individuals (e.g. children, individuals with heavy groceries).

Your experience is dispelled the moment you take an hour cycling to and from work. That's pretty easy for anyone not on a SDE salary.
I don't even know what the concept is supposed to mean. Is there an experiment we can do to test to see if the universe has free will, like we can for other physical properties? If not, then we're arguing about an undecidable, like Zeus' shoe size.
> I can't explain it, but I find the language infuriating. It somehow manages to be less expressive, more verbose and more straight up boring than all the other options.

I don't hate it like you, I just find it amazingly backwards, and I think I can explain why:

The community has the same persistence as certain teachers when it comes to locking things down and making things harder than necessary for no good reason, all for our own good.

Prime example: announcing a supposedly cutting edge language without generics in 2009, launching version 1.0 without it in 2012, 8 years after notoriously conservative Java got it, then waiting until 2022 before listening, that is some hardcore teacher mentality IMO.

You may not get paid FAANG salaries, but you will have a job that pays well that you do not have to constantly relearn every 2 years.

I was brought into the data scene about 15 years ago by a mentor who explained that the work was fun, the same skills from `92 are still valid today, and the pay was great. I've found it all to be true. A bit of on-call at times, but nothings perfect.
Several decades ago while using Oracle and SQL*Plus, I used to generate the column list for queries from the data dictionary table (ALL_TAB_COLUMNS). Once I learnt that trick, I never typed the column list ever again. Eventually, I had a library of queries for common tasks. You could use that trick with almost all database engines.

IDEs were never a favorite (they were quite limited then).

Today, the situation is a lot better.
> I've written and operated Node-based backends at scale.

I'm interested in producing fullstack typesafe web projects using typescript on both backend and frontend.

My question is how do you scale nodejs since it is single-threaded? Say I need 10k concurrent connections. These connections doesn't have to be all hammering the system at once but I need to accept 10k connections and perform something like 2k requests/s.

How do I approach this? One server with clustered nodejs? pm2?

I ask because there are a ton of outdated info on how to scale nodejs.

Some rudimentary benchmarking with clustered or pm2 nodejs tells me that 95 response times go from 30ms to 1000ms once I hammer the server. Whereas Go and C# keep it under 100ms without any effort or extra tooling, just using standard library.
Lower consumption works even better than cleaner energy. Even wind/solar/nuclear has a carbon cost to it.

PoS consumes less energy than PoW. That's a win.
While my decisions seem to be handled via unconscious processes ahead of my conscious brain taking credit for them, I feel like what's often glossed over is what the effect is after that point. Presumably whether the conscious brain takes credit for an action of the physical body is feedback to those unconscious processes. When my consciousness notices my body doing things it doesn't take credit for (like, say, mindlessly putting the milk in the cupboard instead of the fridge), this should serve as a signal to the physical system that it failed to predict a decision the conscious brain would have made, had it the ability to do so.

So sure, maybe all my decisions are on rails, and I experience the illusion of having made them. But there's no reason to dismiss that illusion as immaterial. It can be thought of as a sanity check. A sort of after-the-fact free will for future unconscious processes to consider. Which in practice, feels exactly like the free will of having made the decision in the first place.
> Doing anything is better than doing nothing

Not if it distracts from accomplishing things that actually matter. Think about plastic straw madness. They take up very little room in landfills. By volume they make up very little of ocean waste. And if you get a plastic straw at a restaurant that isn't on the beach, it is hard to even imagine how it would get in the ocean. Yet society moved mountains to stop using plastic straws. What is the cost of creating these mostly-unnecessary alternatives? What could people have done with their time that would have been more productive?

The costs of virtue signaling are real.
As if people who can't afford EVs buy brand new cars.

This isn't banning the sale of ICE cars on the secondary market.
One thing to keep in mind is that Ethereum is nothing but a network of computers passing messages to each other. Those messages are considered speech from a Constitutional perspective. Same as you sending a text message to your friend. Therefore normal free speech protections almost certainly apply, and most relevantly the Brandenburg test for imminent lawless action.

Suppose Tony texts Paulie and tells him to wack a guy. That's illegal, unprotected speech, because it directly leads to imminent lawless action. Similarly the wallet owner who signs and broadcasts an Ethereum transaction to send money to North Korea would bass the Brandenburg test because it obviously leads to imminent lawless action.

The validator who builds the block that includes an illegal transaction is an interesting question. On the one hand by building the block, one could argue that they're instrumental in putting carrying out the illegal transaction. OTOH one might argue that if the transaction is in the network (and priced appropriately) it almost certainly will get included on-chain eventually. Therefore the validator might argue that it's activity doesn't create any imminent lawless activity, because the transaction being in the mempool is already fait accompli. The validator is more like the reporter writing about a crime in the newspaper.

But what I'm nearly certain of is that building on top of a chain with a previously finalized illegal transaction is okay. It's certainly not illegal to talk about a crime that's already happened. The further a block gets away from the initial block, then the less imminent the illegal action becomes. SCOTUS has historically held a very high standard for Brandenburg, which is why it's not even illegal to advocate for genocide or the violent overthrow of the American government.
> Intellectual determinism dismisses free will as theology because for us to be truly the way we experience ourselves, we must possess non-physical minds — or something like souls. A soul, like Hinduism’s atman, or a Godhead linking individual consciousness to a higher source conscious, could account for free will, but there’s no place for that in the contemporary materialistic model…

I've never understood how a higher plane or soul or whatever would get you to free will. It seems to me that the fundamental disproof of free will is the existence of cause and effect: if you trace through the causal chain of your actions, at some point you find some cause that wasn't you (in the limit case, the big bang). If it turns out the root cause of your actions is a soul or whatever, how is that "you"? How is that free will? And then also, what causes your soul?

Meanwhile, back when I had time to game heavily I would, as a matter of course, pirate every single game on PC because the experience was pretty much always superior, but I would also pre-order/buy on release the same games. I didn't pirate because I didn't want to pay for it, I pirated because I didn't want to deal with a single-player games requiring an always-on Internet connection and running kernel modules in Windows to do piracy/cheat detection, degrading system/game performance, and violating my privacy and the security of my system.

I own literally thousands of games on Steam, and thousands more outside of Steam. I also relentlessly pirated every game I wanted to play for decades. The way to "fix" piracy is by companies providing a superior user experience, not by beating their paying customers with sticks.
Yeah, I would agree, Figma is a powerful tool. My team is all developers my boss included (although he is moreso a manager now than anything) and we were able to convey using Figma what we were going to build to other teams so they can get a reality check before we crack at code.
> Nothing you said is verifiable.

Right, I was pretty explicitly speaking from experience. See my first paragraph.

> If Go replaces your Python this easily, you have always been writing Go

Go is only a 10 year old language, and I've been writing Python professionally for 15 years. I definitely have more hours on Python by a wide margin.

> The abstractions available in Python are in a totally different class than that of Go.

Python definitely is more abstract than Go, but I don't think that's a feather in its hat. Moreover, most of my criticisms of Python had nothing to do with its abstract nature.
>He tried to help save the kids for goodness's sake.

He tried, very loudly, to take over. He had absolutely no relevant knowledge or experience. He came in with a ridiculous solution that would kill everyone involved and refused to back off. When called on it, he responded with slander and harassment. With friends like this, who needs enemies?

For the record, I agree that he doesn't deserve ridicule. He deserves 50 years in prison. But that's for the FSD scam, not for the "pedo guy" incident.
I think it's more like the CCP would load their secret police database in.
I fully agree. Docker Swarm was perfect for my small employer with an IT staff of 3 people. Went with the 3 manager nodes, as recommended by Docker, to allow for upgrades without downtime, and things were rock solid.

Also liked that encryption of the overlay networks was included.

The only thing we missed/wanted was auto-scaling built-in, but we rarely had a need to scale the number of containers.
Meh, I predict there will be a rise in 3rd party OEMs, resellers and restorers of "classic" gas cars.

More annoying than the push for electric is the trend towards computers in cars. Cars used to be fairly easy to diagnose and maintain yourself. But nowadays you need more and more sophisticated troubleshooting equipment. I'll probably end up having one cool 90s car and one cool 60s car.
Those projects were started when python was the least bad choice and grew out quickly enough that they could hire legions of developers to work around pythons problems.

> That food desert thing is a joke. They're talking about supermarkets, yet there are other sources like farm stands. 10 rural miles is nothing. That might be a 10-15 minute trip if you've ever driven in WV and seen the speeds people drive.

* Supermarkets in the US provide all kinds of out-of-season produce throughout the year. This is what consumers have come to expect, and is an inherent limitation of farm stands.

* Those most struggling with COL also struggle with the cost of transportation in the US, so driving a dozen miles is a non-starter.
It's not, it's covering a fixed percentage of the cost of the electric bike or electric car you're willing to buy up to a certain amount and if you match certain geographic and socioeconomic conditions. Provided you do the administive paperwork withing a close time window of getting the certificate of old car destruction.
A government could do both.
If my code's jumping around a lot I throw some keywords in the comments with unique numbers like verificationworkflow13 so with ctrl-f I can easily jump through the entire chain, or I can go straight to a specific step. Same concept as bookmarking but more flexible and it solves my problem of having a disorganized mess of too many bookmarks. It also helps for keeping things organized in my head ("this is part of the verification workflow between parts 12 and 14").
On its own, it does seem like a lot.

Thinking about the nature of renewables where I live, it seems so small as to be not worth mentioning; January will often have a week to several weeks of heavy cloud cover and little wind. A mere 5 hours of capacity is a pittance.

Australia, on the other hand, could easily make more sense, as I imagine the outback to be sunnier year round and maybe windier.
You can get built databases deployed with Appliku as well. No reason to go broke on a small side project
How can you detect that people are NOT running slasher nodes?

This model assumes that 1/n is honest. This is almost as safe as it gets.
It also doesn't sound like actually enough. They never have outages longer than 5 hours?

And even with fully renewable sources they would never have periods longer than 5 hours without much generation?
I'd argue that the electric cars are there today, it's the infrastructure that's lacking. If every gas station had a few EV chargers it would make all the difference. In the US yout rarely more than 50-100 miles from a gas station.
Biden to Announce $10,000 Student Loan Forgiveness Plan
But all evidence needs to be voted on. Even it's just a divine truth bool, the network still needs to vote on a consensus of whether or not it says TRUE.

edit: for an example. you get hacked and lose $100M. You say fuck it, submit a slasher report that says it wasn't a valid transaction. you offer enough money to get x% of validators to agree with you.

As far as I can tell, you cannot get slashed for your vote on a slash. So lying is ok.
COBOL also fits this description, down to the awkward attempts at matching natural language.

I think the staying power of SQL comes from its broader audience - programmers, analysts, and executives all use it. It's much easier to motivate programmers to learn a new, superior language than it is to motivate executives to learn a new technology that only gives ergonomic improvements.
> Moreover, the deterministic perspective allows for compassion towards others.

If the universe is deterministic, then compassion is an illusion as well. Things just are.
