>I like to have a few $100s for traveling internationally--although in general it's hard to predict if they'll be accepted in the US.

22 years ago upon coming to US with in particular several thousands in cash of new smelling $100s i was trying to pay $2 bus fare by pulling one of those fresh $100s from a small stack and trying to give it to the bus driver - the bus driver was actively refusing it - "no change", etc. - and i was perplexed to say the least and thought that the driver uses the "no change" excuse for some unclear to me reason "I don't understand, I mean this is US, the dollars are used here not something else, this is a good genuine bill, fresh from the bank, look it has sequential numbers with the others in the stack, how is it "no change" when even back in Russia i usually had no issues with change even from a $100 bill" :)
Code that I've worked with over the last 25 years not using exceptions almost invariably has worse error handling than that without. YMMV.

(As far as regular vs exceptional flow goes, think about what sort of acceptance criteria are written into story requirements. I've never seen the expected behaviour for out of memory or even critical network failures written up as part of a user story. In many cases it's decided for you by the libraries used anyway)
Annoys me to no end that in the USA we can't get money in denominations of $1,000, $10,000, or $100,000 as one could in the 1930s. Sure, it's to stop drug dealers. I'm not a fucking drug dealer.
It's cherry picking from here on out
It's not like it is just some fact of nature that Ethereum is migrating to proof of stake, and Vitalik is trying to find some post-hoc justification for it. It's migrating exactly because Vitalik and others convinced a lot of people involved in Ethereum that it should migrate to PoS. And why did he convince them of that? Because he believes it is a better system.

Have you presented what you believe to be the flaws in the system to any Ethereum developers? Do you think you understand PoS generally or specifically their PoS implementation better than they do?
Everybody in my extended-family sees these jobs like this, and none of them are in tech. They are in construction, and office work, and health care, and wood working, and farming. Warehouse, retail, fast food, wait-staff, etc, are all seen as stepping-stone jobs. Unless you are running your own business in these areas, they are rarely viewed as "professions" or long-term jobs.

Even with things like construction jobs, which are pretty well liked in my family, you are expected to move up to the "better" jobs like heavy machinery operator, or management, and such.
Interestingly, building new houses won't necessarily make prices go down, as we'll all just compete for the more desirable ones, and pay whatever we can afford to 'get ahead of the Jones'. It might mean that the quality of what we end up living in is better though as the rubbish houses get left unfilled.

Anyway, the problems is not so much that there is not enough housing, but that it is on the wrong place.
Breeders are more prevalent than ever. Since Craigslist tightened the rules they're just harder to see.
I read that they found alfalfa will grow in lunar regolith, which can then be tilled under to fertilize it so that other more edible things like potatoes and corn might be able to grow in it. It is pretty similar to crop rotation that way.

You can be fairly certain that some of the first experiments will be about fertilizing and growing there.
I consider me needing to go into a physical branch if I want to transfer tens of thousands or more a feature, not an issue.
Articles from the past make it seem more like plenty of gambling was going on when it was illegal, just that it was criminally controlled: https://www.nytimes.com/1964/06/26/archives/dimes-make-milli...

And people keep finding new ways to gamble, some of which are difficult to make illegal. It's fairly clear the stock market is an elaborate gambling system to some people.

In terms of the commenter here talking about "tools emerging after the two dark age decades of style over semantics" wikis don't count as new development. ;) Even Wikipedia is more than 20 years old.

And I think wikis are still quite limited in that bit I quoted: "Englebert is not advocating that we perform artificial acts with documents by superimposing structure on them. Instead, he advocates that we capture the inherent structure in all forms of human expression in order to make them easier for people to navigate through, view in different ways, and hyperlink."

They have hyperlinks, sure, but otherwise most pages in wikis have only those views that can be created through operations on a hierarchical table of contents. The structure is imposed by the tech, there, rather than the expression of knowledge itself. The blocks in Roam - https://thinkstack.club/how-to-use-roam-block-reference-menu... - seems like a major iteration on that to me in terms of moving towards units of knowledge as the fundamental element instead of "pages." (It's also worth noting that Foam doesn't do this - https://github.com/foambubble/foam/issues/294 - though apparently Obsidian does.)

It's not a requirement for "everyone else to pick up the slack". That's just the businesses choice.

At the end they could choose to let the team be less productive. Business should already assume that they may lose an employee at anytime, or roadblocks may come up, so if they're assuming the teams are always going to be at 100%, that's probably not realistic.

The business could also: hire another manager, or promote someone whose been looking for an opportunity to learn to manage. If they do want to shift the load to other existing employees, ideally the business is structured so that other managers aren't at 100% capacity and can help fill-in temporarily. That's still a form of "picking up the slack", but if it's planned for, it's usually less an issue.
I'm noticing that a lot around here.
Would you support 100% of wages go to taxes allowing the system to provide everything to citizens?

That would allow the citizens to pick whatever job suits them because wages would be decoupled from there lives.

Validators in proof of stake have less control than miners had in proof of work. They don't control the rules, they just control the order transactions get into blocks. They can't even censor transactions unless a majority of validators/miners work together to do so. Unlike in proof of work, in proof of stake any validators that are seen attempting double-spending attacks can have their invested stake slashed; in proof of work, miners that attempt double-spend attacks don't lose their mining hardware and are free to continue attempting to manipulate the system.
I’m so tired of companies putting bullshit ranges like “80-190k DoE” and claim they’re compliant with the Colorado law.

If you get fired for going on paternity leave when the company explicitly has a policy for it, you're going to have an easy lawsuit win. I don't know why your even talking about startups that may not have a paternity policy, since the OP's company clearly has one.
> but rather legislation about courts.

Government prosecutes criminal law. There are various reasons, including politics or career progression, that government prosecutors overlook some crimes. Individuals don't successfully charge others with criminal violations.

Individuals prosecute civil law. If civil law penalties continue to be unavailable because 'government immunity', then bad actors in government will not be restrained through the courts.

I'm uncertain what court legislation you would propose, other than removal of USSC doctrine of government immunity.

How do you figure, is there some formalisation of what is anti nature? Or is it just some dream a hippy had on lsd at Woodstock?

The world is constantly in flux, there used to be animals the size of houses roaming about and then there wasn't, were they not in tune with nature or something? This is all idealogical nonsense.
Despite appearances, it is still going. The amount of hospital space needed for COVID-19 patients is lowered, but the strains on the medical system, on society, continue. It's going to be a persistent cost we all pay for years more.
If this is how they treat their own citizens, I'm honestly scared what they think is okay to do to a foreigner.
> quietly taken over

This is how nearly all Government Services work. Outsourced to a "public interest" (and I do us that term loosely) corporation. Like when the RTD got switched to Metro in Los Angeles. Presented to the public as a rebrand. But it was in actuality the firing of one firm and the hiring of another.
This is the kind of attitude that needs to change in Portugal if you want it to become something more than a playground for the rich.

I understand your point but I can't see a decade old laptop to be the right tool for the job unless you really don't use photos, videos, imag editing of any sort (adobe suite), office, etc. and your job is just on the terminal.

Of course there are (obsolete) alternatives to all these commercial "ecosystem" sofwares. I feel that some people don't upgrade (latops, phones) under the excuse that "it works for me, is the right tool for the job". Or worse: are simply afraid of learning new things and using new software.

I have a feeling that many reader feel like not updating the hardware is a sort of protest against big companies. It isn't as Apple is continuously selling more phones and laptops. My guess is that the younger audience wants to be updated, the older not so much.

This is entirely fine for a subset of people but not fine if you want to be competitive in the IT business.

If you do commercial work you need to be up to date and in line with your team and company demands. If time is important, a faster processor and software optimised for it, can save you many hours. This to me is worth fare more than the price of the hardware.

Of course there will be exceptions of coders being as efficient or more efficient with basic software and older hardware but why limit yourself?
Is the insinuation here that Amazon is forgoing business in a dozen different locations... as a form of retaliation against completely unrelated workers? Or that unionizing affects their bottom line profitability enough to start cancelling operations?
When I was 6 or 7, I binge read "The Misterious Island" by Jules Verne. Later in school I re-read it to ace half of elementary chemistry - all things about acids, bases and metals. I think it was one of the books that shaped my life the most.
I'm Italian and we have a similar situation, things like e.g. heated rivalry between two towns that are 15 km apart.

This can go very deep because as you know (but may be surprising to our American friends) in Europe we have much less cultural uniformity.

For example, in the two towns in Central Italy that I'm thinking about, which are only 15 km apart, people speak completely different dialects that are only partially intelligible one another.

A fun fact is that now I live in Australia which is one of the countries in the world with the least variance in accent. You can't tell Sydney and Perth accents apart, even though the two cities are thousands of kms apart.

I think it's improbable that an org would set such a blatantly unreachable KPI. It's not subtle in any way and would not hold up to challenging.
Is it wrong, though? I’m constantly surprised how incurious Bitcoiners are about what will happen when the block reward subsidy pool runs out. I still haven’t heard a convincing story about what will happen to the network security a few halvings from now, besides “who cares, I will have sold by then”
But then, once you have the physical omny card, how do you refill it with cash? Go back to Target?

Disclaimer - I'm Polish.

This is a product of the currently ruling party, and the elections are coming. While Poland still should get some kind of support from Germany for the damage it caused in many aspects of life here, I don't believe that reparations are what we should and what we could get. The issue has been closed and that fact has been confirmed by Polish government most recently in 2004. The only country we should and could get reparations from is russia, as they actually made Poland to pay (by forcing it to buy subsidized coal many years ago) instead of be paid, and apparently USSR made a promise to pay the reparations.

So currently ruling party is not really about getting something for Poland in regards of WWII disaster, but it's only about winning the next elections and seemingly weaken the country once more. Please keep in mind that we have a prime time for russian trolls here and it might take some time if we could ever get rid of them from the politics. To weaken Poland means to empower russia influence here, but sadly many supporters of the ruling party don't connect the dots this way.
Absolutely. But the blocks, which are the one notable improvement, are tech that isn't well-used enough that we could make sense of it in a multiuser environment. That's the reason it's single-player right now. (And hence my comment about better understanding underlying structures)

And yes, it's closer to Engelbert's vision. We've been getting closer to that (and the Memex) for a long time, and we'll continue to do so. They are distant visions what a future could look like, while we barely understand knowledge work. I mean, the term itself is already an improvement of clarity on the ideas of the memex.

If you compare knowledge work to Mathematics, I'd guess we're shortly before Elements. We're at best about to understand the basic building blocks. Which I find tremendously exciting - we're still at the very beginning of exploration.
Sketchy apps like Waze and Starbucks? These are as mainstream as apps get.

If I order from Etsy, I will drop $100 on a product and shipping. But when will I get it? I don’t know. Will it even arrive? Who knows?

With Amazon I know what I order is coming this week. That’s why I buy from them and no one else. It doesn’t matter that half their website is styled like it’s 2003 and I’m probably getting a counterfeit product.
>What makes some certain sounds so impressionable on birds?

I'd hazard a guess it's something similar to how some patterns of noise to us are music, while other patterns of noise are akin to nails screeching across blackboard.

I don't know the science behind it, but if humans find appeal in certain noises then it won't surprise me if our peers upon this planet also do.

Yup - you can reload it with cash at the same stores that sell it. You'll eventually be able to put money into a vending machine to reload it as well.

Or, you could not refill it, and just buy another omny card. I'm not sure what the surplus above fare costs is for a new card, but it's probably only a few bucks. If you're concerned about privacy, it might be good to not have a very long travel history all associated with a single omny card.
It's bizarre to me how many people seem to be averse to any form of abstraction when literally anything you build is already atop an unbelievably large tower of abstraction.

We should as an industry be teaching people how to build good abstractions, not avoiding them at all costs.
No, crypto as a whole offer no advantage over fiat but major inconveniences, and it is built on top of the worst piece of technology ever created by mankind.
Admittedly, some people don't react well to them.
The reason this is possible for etc is because it's a small chain nobody uses with blocks that can be mined with hardware from much larger chains. There is no larger compatible proof of work chain than Bitcoin.
The word I've seen used for this is "outercourse." I don't know if that's the real word for it, but it covers quite a few variations of a similar act.
Lambda is insanely expensive is why they don’t allow long-running jobs. A 1GB allocation is $43/mo. And most lambda users are running 1 single task/process per lambda invocation.
Good idea, but these are the people with the power. They aren't the ones to easily volunteer to test new tech 10k+ feet above the ground. My solution would be to tax them and use the money to fund research on new green tech. And have a time line to move to more environmental friendly tech.
There are _a lot_ of credit reporting agencies to place freezes with. I put freezes at several credit reporting agencies. It took quite a bit of time to work through a small subset of this list:

Piling on here. My wife had a 2002 Jetta from new until 2019. We replaced both of the front window regulators on multiple occasions. There's nothing like having your window drop into the door when it's -40 C outside.

Sometimes, we'd "luck out" and the window had just slipped out of the holder. Just as often, we needed parts that were available only from Volkswagen.

In general, the car required somewhere between $1000-$2000 worth of maintenance every year. I've owned ten vehicles over the years and none have come close to the VW in terms of total cost of ownership. She replaced it with a new (non-VW) SUV a few years ago and it hasn't needed anything but oil changes yet.
Ahh, "SAS" here refers to Samsung Austin Semiconductor.

If the products of humans (who are natural) are not natural, then by the same token do you argue beaver dams and beehives are also unnatural/artificial constructs?

If you ask me, everything on Earth including all products of humanity are natural.

This distinction between natural and artificial is primarily based off of a human superiority complex, that humanity is special and superior and masters of this planet. I feel it would benefit all of us as a species to drop that attitude ASAP because it gets in the way of objective judgment.
