I think this is misleading, because every 32 eth stake is considered a validator. If you look at the top depositors by entity, you see that there are just a few entities controlling most of the stake, i.e. there's only a few validator nodes with most of the stake: https://etherscan.io/dashboards/beacon-depositors

Also, the number of nodes doesn't actually matter that much. It's more important that people can run nodes.
You're absolutely right, it is shorter – for some reason my memories just skipped that part. Maybe because the width is the most relevant when writing down long equations. :)

well I for one can't see how this might go wrong... \s

but in all seriousness, when you make optimize for the metric, the metrics will cease to reflect reality. I can see this easily being used for to prevent people from negotiating as individuals because this will allow companies to blanket drop all salaries in the guise of "being fair."
Companies generally already do this with non-FISA "National Security Letter Requests" - Apple received between 1 and 499 between January and June 2021[0], and Google received between 500 – 999 in the same time frame[1].

Of course, this is nothing like allowing arbitrary content censorship in collaboration with law enforcement, which would indeed trigger a lot more outrage and bad PR.

Got five kids. If any of them were trans, I'd support them connecting with whatever community they could find. Some people were born into the wrong body and most kids know it immediately. The dysphoria can happen early. I'm sure there are some kids that make mistakes and try hormone therapy because they think it will make them feel better. The list of reasons they might do this are long and many are related to abuse or depression.

How about we stop labeling people pedophiles and support people (even kids) finding their truth.

I'd also firmly believe all transgender adults would be _horrified_ by any type of abuse. You're going to find an outlier in there as with any statistic. But like 99.9999% of all transgender adults come from a position of empathy and support. To assume otherwise is you just pushing your idea of morality on other people.

Of course if you simply refuse to believe in the idea that someone could be gay or bi or trans (and be certain of it at a young age), that's an entirely different conversation. Kids know who they are. We're supposed to guide them. Not oppress them.

Good habit at least when writing blog posts is to write for the future self and sometimes your colleagues. It can be useful to know how you approached different subjects years ago. The key to this is not to be afraid to change your mind in the future. Most people that experience problems with this is because they are stubbornly trying to stick to the same ideas they had years ago and feel they will be seen as weak when admitting that they were wrong.
For a one-time thing? No. That's something which can be repaired, reprimanded, or something upon which future policies could be set.

They're also not encouraging their viewers to harass, contact, and troll specific individuals.

Audio quality has gotten a lot better over time as speaker and player technology improved, so now cheap mainstream stuff could be equal to high end back then.
Sweden can range from -25 to 35 °C. Heat pumps are common, both downhole heat exchangers (rock heat we call it) and air source heat pumps, among home owners.

Central heating is also common and often heated by garbage.
The point here appears to be very inexpensive and requiring very little skill to build. Basically only the electric equipment and the aileron hooks are not made from common cheap household items or flat TV packaging trash.

Certainly you can improve this design in many ways, while making it lighter, sturdier, and higher-performing at the same time. It would take quite a bit of skill, more tools, and a variety of more interesting materials.
I made a similar suggestion a couple of years ago[0] on a discussion about Google banning a podcasting app ("after 9 years for letting users play podcasts that reference COVID-19").

Of course it's a terrible idea (which might be why you're being downvoted) but that's the point. If we don't want governments deciding (in secret, without due process) which apps and accounts and pages to censor, then we shouldn't be comfortable with a situation where a handful of unrepresentative CEOs (who might all share the same politics, and golf together, in a foreign jurisdiction relative to most of their users) have an equally big narrative-controlling effect on multiple societies.

The history of state-mandated lists of gay people cautions against this impulse.
Normally there aren't competing drugs racing to market, thus the FDA doesn't have any system in place to ensure apples-to-apples comparisons in a case like this. Each company decides it's test protocols and gets FDA approval, they aren't working in cooperation.

I would say that I did engage in good faith. I mean the argument I'm making and I'm making my arguments the way I feel is best.

It is, of course, completely ridiculous to think that "intent" separates Facebook and KiwiFarms. Facebook doesn't intend to cause civil wars, genocides, spree killers, gang violence, body dismorphia, self-harm, harassment, and suicide. Facebook intends to connect people so that they can develop a social network and monetize the social network and they are willing to break a few eggs to make that omelette.

You might as well say that it is the color of Mark Zuckerberg's shoes that matters as say it is Facebook's intent. No, obviously, what matters is the bad stuff and the people harmed. It's not like any of those people are less dead because of Facebook's intentions. If Facebook had terrible intentions and excellent outcomes that would be a much better world.

The other problem with saying intent is what matters is that the people who make this argument also make some kind of magical mind reading claim that they know the intentions of others. "Intent is what matters, and I know the intentions of KiwiFarms! They are bad!" Just save everyone some time and explain that you know KiwiFarms is bad and that is why they must be destroyed.

KiwiFarms is bad because they intended to get people killed. No, there is no evidence for that. And yes, there is plenty of evidence against that in the form of trying to get people hurt being against the rules and moderation of the site. No, there was no police or legal action against KiwiFarms for the crimes we "know" they were committing - but all that is beside the point. We know their intent! It is bad and they must be removed!
I appreciate you for bringing this up. I will definitely do this, as I had given up on the whole schtick for a while (mostly just the 420 now)

I think that systems like cloudflare should be treated partially as utilities and required to provide services as if they were one, because that's what they are.

There are lots of times that companies find themselves in a position of such responsibility and power that they can no longer be trusted to wield that responsibility and power without public oversight.

My concern with this would evaporate entirely if I knew that there was some form of reasonable checks and balances against companies like cloudflare doing whatever the heck they want to do, and all it would take in the future to get a website off the internet is some mass of well connected people deciding that a site should go away.

This is not an issue with the site being taken down, it's an issue with entirely unregulated power held by people who should not hold that power.
To be fair, to a serious adherent of any form of Christianity baptizing someone who had already been received into the Church through valid baptism is a very very big deal.
Always surprised at how few nodes there are relative to how loud the noise is about crypto. I don't mind deploying a service and running things myself, it seems there are only a few thousand of us in the world. Even Tor only has "a few thousand" nodes.

It might be cute to also see some derived statistics like "market cap/node", average size of transaction, and "estimated cost of 51% attack". ;-)

> and horribly underrated.

It bombed at the box office, but critics generally praised it, and since its run, its critical standing has improved.

Frankly, I hated it. About 7 years later, gave it another shot, still hated it. I think it is the most depressing movie I've ever seen.

So it is not horribly underrated. By the critical reception and comments here, it is inscrutably overrated.
As you might have read, I am european. Threats of violence can be illegal here. I did not seek to explain the US flavour of freedom of speech here, I sought to explain a limitation on it I grew up with and why I think it produces a (to me) desirable outcome.

Whether a thing is legal or not doesn't mean everything that stays within the legal bounds is desirable as a society or morally, ethically just. Many of the most atrocious deeds of humanity have been legal at the time they were carried out.

By saying all of this I am not doing myself a service here. Such opinions get downvoted on an US dominated platform like this one. I still think it is important to note that any freedom we are gurantueed comes with a duty to protect these freedoms for others. Those who enjoy a freedom and at the same time try to take that very freedom away from others can not complain if a free society tries to defend itself and limits their rights.

When thinking about how societies can stop aliding into fascism after the genocides of the second world war Austrian philosopher Karl Popper coined the term "paradoxon of intolerance" for this. Any free society that wants to survive, cannot be universally tolerant — otherwise the intolerant will abuse that "hospitality" and abolish that free society. That means any free society has to be intolerant towards the intolerant, after a certain degree. I would argue this degree has been reached in the US a while ago.

Protected speech is a strong word in a nation which killed civilians on foreigns soil based on what they have been communicating via SMS without a trial. Here, suddenly, it is okay to go after people based on what they say somehow?
"The right way to design tariffs is already used in the UK and France: real two-way “contracts for differences” where the generators get money from the public entity when prices are low, and pay back the difference between spot prices and their agreed price, when spot prices are high, like today. In France and the UK, this is providing a natural hedge to power prices and helps keep retail prices down. "

Sure that stuff isn't good, too.

I'm just wondering what your plan is to keep your kids off of this other (public) forum that your just learned about (and ones like it), if you have one.
So to start, you should pretty much disregard anyone who thinks CD quality is worse than vinyl. CD quality is 16 bit, 44k samples per second, and despite some audiophile gear now that is 24 bit, 96k samples per second, ABX testing routinely fails to find a difference between them. As such, in terms of music quality and software quality, anything capable of delivering 16 bit, 44k samples should be considered "perfect" (i.e. FLAC/CDs). There is some evidence that in studio conditions, people can hear a difference between high bitrate lossy compression and CD quality, but realistically, even Vorbis at 128kbps or other formats at 256kbps or higher will provide a very good listening experience.

Sure, you are right that this sentence is not a true passive voice. Instead, it implements the dummy subject [1] construction in English grammar, which shares certain qualities that leads to criticism of writing that uses a lot of the passive voice. E.g. There (dummy subject) <linking verb> <true subject> does not clearly imply who is criticizing what, and tends to diminish the magnitude or details of the nature of the criticism.

I don't mean to defend Strunk and White any more than the next guy, but comments like this one make me think the pendulum can also swing back too far.

What is valuable to one person may not be to another. Does that make it a scam? Most people are adamant that gold is a fundamental unit of value, and yet it's paper value (by volume) is 10x the real thing¹. Does that make gold a scam?

Personally, I'm much more interested in the value inherent in the Human Spirit, but others place almost no value on human life. Insurance companies place a dollar value on human life. I look at words like human resources and see how it collectivises individuals and turns them into cattle, putting a dollar value on something I think is priceless.

People addicted to power are really interested in how many people they can control. Using this metric, managers, ceo's, etc are all buying into the scam that people have value but they're worth less than themselves. Using this metric any job is a scam, & it rides on the back of the notion that a piece of paper with $100 marked on it, formerly backed by gold, is actually worth anything.

A lot of the hires stuff around hasn’t just been ripped from CDs though, or is mastered differently and to my ears some tracks clearly sound better than from CD but it’s all subjective.

It was going to be a flop from the start, proclaimed by many that such a huge budget would not lead to success.

The hard truth is that using velocity to measure performance will guarantee that developers bias their estimates to ensure they make themselves look good, thereby making your "estimates" useless.

Anyone who's built software knows that estimates are guesses and are bound to change once the work actually begins (not to mention if scope changes midway through).

Additionally, velocity does not "count" work happening outside of tickets, e.g., helping with a customer support issue, assisting another developer with legacy code, reviewing other people's work, spending time on feature planning.
The solution to this isn't "be sad and stop doing this". It's "make turning off SIP the first thing you do on any Mac you ever use", or better yet, "use a better OS like Linux".

She should be reprimanded, in my opinion. The Washington Post is not encouraging their readers to harass or doxx individuals or groups, so this is a false equivalency.

Oh, and this forum hid their identity behind Cloudflare while, at the same time exposing your identity and personal details?
