It is no different. There will always be mania, bubbles and hype in the speculation round and it always ends in a crash with a few survivors.

From the crash of 2000, 90% of the dotcom-era companies had collapsed, with the surviving 10% still here today; some that are trillion dollar companies. The same is true for the tech startups today founded in 2010 which the same rule applies there and also in crypto, given it has still survived the crashes of 2013, 2018 and now 2022.

What will likely happen to crypto will be the same with the internet and tech startups and it is on regulations which many companies have been waiting for before re-entering again into using a select few cryptocurrencies and their technologies that fit their use-case and after regulatory clarity.

But you will frequently hear from the extreme anti-crypto folks who have for years have been praying for the 'total collapse of all cryptocurrencies' and a 'total ban on everyone using them'. I'm sure there were similar calls for the internet to be shutdown by many other skeptics as well, and there was a push back against 'Web 2.0'. But the more realistic outcome is the coexistence of a select few compliant cryptocurrencies and other crypto companies or projects that work with the current system with clear regulations. Crypto maximalists are just as unrealistic as the extreme anti-crypto folks in their goals of what will happen.

So like the internet and the tech bubble of 2010 - 2022, all had regulations and crypto will be the same. Hence the point that 90% of these crypto companies won't survive, but the remaining 10% will. Just exactly like the dotcom and 2010 tech startups you see existing today.
Depending on where you live, e.g. proximity to the equator, you will probably never recoup the initial investment or if you do the panels will probably be at their end of life when you do. So you'll never really "make money". But you will insulate yourself from demand spikes and give you an emergency backup.
> This is, perhaps, where the x86 consortium has fallen into a challenge in the face of tight integration; The majority of that group would likely shriek at the idea of a DRAM on CPU, "here you go that's all you get" idea. I saw it a lot when I slung PC hardware; Folks who would insist on having as much upgrade-ability as possible, but never actually bought the upgrades between PC purchases. Even still, RAM is the main thing I personally find myself still upgrading on either purchased or older PCs.

Memory people usually either buy as much as they need, or buy some and then add more. I've done it just about every PC build of mine, sometimes completely swap memory.

GPU generally gets upgraded, unless you're one of those who buy the best every year.

Storage for sure gets upgraded.

Currently sending this from my skylake i7 that seen 3 different GPUs, 2 different RAM kits, I lost count how many times I've upgraded storage.

I would probably get mad if I couldn't upgrade memory down the line. It maybe makes sense for laptops, but I don't see why do that on desktop. While M1 has memory right there, its latency is higher than intel and amd.
I kind of don't care about most of the symptoms listed in the studies he cites. Getting headaches or random fatigue in no way compares to the PEM of CFS or persistent brain fog which causes severe executive dysfunction. I find the whole discussion around long covid to be frustrating: simultaneously inflating figures on one hand while underrating the truly severe outcomes (which can happen with all viral diseases).
I had my first mechanical keyboard delivered a few days ago and I must say I am thoroughly enjoying the experience. Each key somehow feels nicer.

“ When wood is burned, the combustion reaction produces heat and emissions in the form of water, organic vapors, gases, and particulates. The emissions of most concern are carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), sulfur oxides (SOx), and nitrogen oxides (NOx). Other regulated elements and compounds, such as mercury and hydrochloric acid are measurable in the emissions but at levels much below accepted maximums. The composition and quantity of the emissions is dependent on the combustion temperature. Higher temperatures encourage complete combustion and result in cleaner emissions (up to 1300 celsius). At lower temperatures the emissions can also include volatile organic compounds, relatively high levels of CO (a product of incomplete combustion), and more particulate concerns.
The NOx (if kept below 1300 celsius) and SOx emissions from burning wood are much lower than those of the fossil fuels coal and petroleum products, and comparable to those of natural gas. Particulate levels in wood emissions are similar to those from burning coal and petroleum and substantially higher than the levels in the emissions from natural gas. Particulate emissions can be controlled to acceptable levels with smoke stack equipment such as scrubbers, bag filters, and electrostatic precipitators. This equipment is however only cost effective on large commercial-sized combustion systems. Particulate emissions from smaller equipment, especially residential-sized units can be a concern. More and more communities and air control districts are placing restrictions on respirable-sized particles (PM2.5 or particulate matter smaller than 2.5 microns). Uncontrolled emissions from wood combustion are high in PM2.5.
The CO2 in wood combustion emissions is considered “carbon-neutral” because the amount of CO2 emitted during combustion is basically equivalent to the amount of CO2 trees need to grow the same quantity of wood. Hence the combustion of wood does not contribute to the net increase in atmospheric levels of CO2 (a greenhouse gas) as does the combustion of fossil fuels.”

The marginal price of any good is the cost to produce one additional unit of that good. That applies to electricity too.

Saying "the highest cost available at any moment sets the price for everyone" is misleading, it's also the lowest marginal price required to satisfy the total load required to supply the market.

More ponzi schemes and outright fraud and theft. And retail investors (normal people) ripped off for their life savings. The .com bubbles mainly hit professional investors.

There's a link in the post prior to the one you replied to.
Only a scant handful of the open source alternatives in that table (Linux, git, gitlab, audacity, vlc media player) are compelling, if we use some measure of adoption as compelling. Most of the rest are all but unknown or so sparsely used as to be negligible compared to the software they supposedly displaced or will displace.

My (probably controversial) opinion is that this is because many (most) of these alternatives are developed by people with an ideology as their agenda rather than to meet market demands. The OSS alternatives in almost every case are inferior in terms of features and usability as a result of this.
While I am a big proponent of open source, a few are not good enough yet. The most important one being CAD. No CAD is good enough for serious mechanical engineering except commercial ones. The creative software (GIMP, inkscape) can replace Adobe but they are much harder yo use with worse integration between them. In the other direction, some OSS software are just way better than the commercial solution (I'd put OBS in those).
AFAIK they all use ALPS joysticks and they all drift. Gulikit is using hall effect joysticks in their KingKong Pro 2 controller which won't drift. The Dreamcast used hall effects as well (plus the 3D Saturn controller, I believe). They made replacement sticks for the Steam Deck, so hopefully they'll target a few other popular controllers next.

Well I'm Ghanaian, my parents flew back into the US on DL 157 just yesterday. DL 156 is the same flight that's taken me home since I was a kid.

And I guess even without the personal context, just common sense tells me that setting up a direct tranatlantic route and then keeping it going for as many years as they have should still communicate the profitability there, and that being told their plane with obvious safety issues isn't welcome isn't why they'd cancel the flight.

I guess to me it's just feels like a very US thing to think this. Like if you picture Ghana as some tiny African country it's obvious: you probably imagine it's just a small line item on Delta's balance sheet, duh big corporation doesn't care about your feels and will take their ball home...

But that's the only direct flight from the US to Ghana, direct flights from the US to West Africa are not common (afaik there's only one to Ghana and one to Nigeria) and they pretty much get to name their prices on the flight and keep demand (and knowing how much it costs me to visit home they very much do take advantage of that).
> Does it support docker running on MacOS M1, or Raspberry Pi?

Not at the moment, from the article:

"We have focused on the Linux-x64 image deployment scenario for this initial release. Windows images and other architectures are key scenarios we plan to support for the full release, so watch out for new developments there."

So, ignoring that, this seems like a first cut.

The rational for this seems to be streamlining docker builds when working with dotnet:

"This Dockerfile works very well, but there are a few caveats to it that aren’t immediately apparent, which arise from the concept of a Docker build context. The build context is a the set of files that are accessible inside of a Dockerfile, and is often (though not always) the same directory as the Dockerfile. If you have a Dockerfile located beside your project file, but your project file is underneath a solution root, it’s very easy for your Docker build context to not include configuration files like Directory.Packages.props or NuGet.config that would be included in a regular dotnet build. You would have this same situation with any hierarchical configuration model, like EditorConfig or repository-local git configurations.

This mismatch between the explicitly-defined Docker build context and the .NET build process was one of the driving motivators for this feature. All of the information required to build an image is present in a standard dotnet build, we just needed to figure out the right way to represent that data in a way that container runtimes like Docker could use."

Why is this a problem in your opinion? I'm not trying to catch you out, but as someone who's not using docker for .net builds/deployments I'm trying to understand why you're dismissing this feature.
> The only "in" for a small player is remote/rural where the cost of distribution infrastructure dominates.

Even then, you still have the same high cost for distribution infrastructure (actually higher once you factor in economies of scale) with none of the experience building said infrastructure. And you're probably not going to be able to build an isolated grid because (at least in the US) power companies have already run wires basically anywhere people are willing to pay for power.

The biggest market I can see is neighbors pooling funds for a large solar installation and wiring up everyone's houses to reduce power bills, but that would probably be a permitting nightmare (and that's assuming there's no legislation prohibiting this already).
I don't think the problem is that the development is agenda driven. It's more that the "last 10%" of work takes 99% of the effort. These alternatives look very good on a checkbox list but when you actually try to use them they just don't hold up and the work to get them there is immense. It's why almost relevant software has an army of workers behind them and more than just developers.

A few devs on there own are never going to be able to keep up.
Yeah, I keep forgetting how judges in civil suits, such as the one that would inevitably follow shenanigans like this, are easy to fool by citing technicalities, especially ones that don't exist or that "aren't necessary." My bad.
I'd actually be interested to see you quantify that, but I'm reviewing the timelines of Wars on Wikipedia at the moment, and from what I'm seeing, the "West", kind of a nebulous term - depending on where you draw the lines, was culprit to more wars.

I think our points are aligned. The agenda driven nature of the genesis of these alternatives is part of the reason few developers work on them. Which, as you note, is why the “last 10%” doesn’t get done.

It does seem wrong that nature would use irrational numbers - the fault is more likely in our concepts. Our mathematics may be more parochial than we realize - than we can realize. Alien mathematics may have taken a different route.

But the fact that people don't know about these simple truths, is not that the "macroeconomic theory" is not understandable to the average person, it's that they are never teached about it. All they are teached or hear about is the micro garbage from mainstream economists, because we live in a world of neoliberalism.
>When the 13th Amendment was proposed, one of the big compromises the South fought for was the "except as punishment for crime" clause.

The south didn't really get a say in the text of the 13th since they weren't around. That clause was included so as not to screw with the established prison labor systems of the states that were in the union. The 13th was in the over at a time when union support for the war was low and it wasn't a boat anyone felt like rocking. It wasn't a contentions clause and was basically seen as a common sense exception at the time. If it wasn't then you'd think some of the more abolitionist states would have tried to abolish that too or you'd at least have some period correspondence about it you could refer to.

>And, of course, immediately after it was passed there was a big cultural shift in racist stereotypes of Black men from being effeminate and cowardly to being big scary criminals.

You're early by a century. The lazy and up to no good criminal black man is a stereotype that mostly came around in the 1960s after we incentivized urban minorities to quit working above the table (and quit getting married) with asinine welfare eligibility rules. As an aside, president Johnson actually has some very quotable quotes on this subject.

In the many decades between the civil war and great depression blacks increasingly moved north and moved to urban areas (mostly in the north and midwest but some in the south) to get jobs in the industrial economy and because the alternatives in the south sucked. Throughout this time period they were stereotyped as tireless workers with some cultural differences much the same way other cultural groups have been over the years.
I suggest you read the book "The Innovation Stack." It's a presents a good alternative to the "Hubris" argument, with specific examples related to quite established industries.
