This tweet itself is a misrepresentation.

There's a history of monarchist sympathy in Ireland, partly stemming from the history of anglo-irish wealth in Dublin (readers of this journalist's paper) but also the political party that's been in power for the past 11 years would be historically sympathetic (as I guess would some subset of their voters).

That said, none of the above is broadly representative of a majority, and apart from the one example she posts there of a tweet being shared out of context, there's been a very loud and varied anti monarchy sentiment expressed within Irish (not American) media and circles today. Much of the reportage is in fact not misinformation.

What to do with everything that we created if the startup no longer exists?
Over the past two years, our team has spent a really long time writing code and developing infrastructure for our project. But due to problems with investments, our company stopped working. What can we do with everything we have created? Are there platforms where we can try to sell it to other teams? Or is it possible to do something else? Folks, please tell us about your experience!

Weather patterns have never been that predictable. Sure there are some patterns, and weather predictors know important things to watch (like El Nino/la nina), but those are not on a predictable cycle so much as they last long enough that you can put reasonable ranges on what can happen a few months in advance.

A CBDC is not a new currency for individuals to use. Everything you do will still be denominated in good ole USD.

A CBDC is digital currency that banks will use to process transactions between each other behind the scenes.

Right now; if I use Bank A and you use Bank B, there is no way for me to transfer money to your account without going through ACH (Automated Clearing House) which can take days and despite it's name, isn't really "automated" --- it was originally designed to process paper checks.

A CBDC will change this and make instant account transfer 24/7/365 possible. It will be like Venmo for everyone without any sign up --- you know, Venmo only works if both parties have signed up for a Venmo account and have funds deposited in Venmo. With a CBDC in place, the sign up will be an automatic part of setting up an account with *any* bank.

A CBDC will make it easy for you to split the cost of dinner with a friend while you're sitting at the table. Just use your phone to sign in to your bank account and make the transfer. Likewise, your friend will be able to sign in to his/her account and see that it's done --- instantly --- like magic, something that has never been possible before.

Basically, a CBDC will speed up and modernize the banking system.
You may want to keep reading. He's also an information security professional and writes well with good thoughts.

I haven't checked the rest of his blog to verify the guess I'm about to give, but I assume he phrased it that way because most of his blog focuses on furry matters rather than infosec matters and he's explaining to his usual furry audience why he's making a rare infosec post - as well as to people who find his blog from sources like this HN post why most of the context is furry related.

It could also simply be that he defines his identity more by his hobby than by his day job and therefore leads with that when describing who he is, which would be fair enough too.
> If preference does not correlate with behavior, you are effectively measuring nothing.

Preference is not nothing. It reflects what people like and want.

Preference for these traits, e.g. introversion, is a fairly reliable predictor of behavior, but it doesn't matter if it is or not, if someone lies to themselves entirely (however likely that is). The purpose is regurgitating to the test-taker what they like and want. I don't see how a company could make good use of it.
I feel like you could search and replace "SAP" with "Salesforce" in this thread and everything would still be perfectly accurate.
I’m fairly certain that’s not the case, because even with current levels of warming all the polar ice that can melt at current temperatures has not yet. A short video on background:

https://youtu.be/Ix2XprA6A7I

That means some level sea level rise and any other climactic changes resulting from melting polar ice are coming regardless of what we do now. We can influence how much this happens, but we’ve already committed to a lot of damage.
It sounds like you want a climate policy that allows us to migrate off fossil fuels while energy remains as cheap and abundant as it was for the past century.

Have you considered whether this might be physically impossible? If so, would you prefer no action and dealing with the full effects of climate change, or would you prefer to accept a flawed climate policy that migrates off fossil fuels while civilization deals with the impact of expensive and/or limited energy?

climate change matters a lot more when you have trillions of dollars of infrastructure. before cities exist, it doesn't matter if a river moves half a mile. once you build a city on that river, the river moving now costs hundreds of millions of dollars.

Not exactly on topic but what you say is funny. Minecraft Java has never been open source. Mods are done by decompiling the official jar, applying patches and recompiling back. I'm sure it's not explicitly allowed by whatever legalese surrounds MC.

This all goes for the one true Minecraft version, Java. Bedrock... they can keep it.
I work for a large telco in the tech support side. We had a bunch of internally-developed tools that were clumsy but worked and fitted our workflow.

We've been fed an off-the-shelf solution with modern tech like Angular and the like.

And even without the SAP burden the company is basically destroying our departament. I guess they don't care to lose us poor peasants but they're basically losing al know-how and one of the only two edges they have against competition.

I can't say I care too much at this point, but it's amazing how easy can companies destroy themselves for not caring about their employees.
Because a “different brand” don’t automatically pair to every device connected to my AppleID (7), don’t have an interface on every device to adjust settings, don’t show the battery percentages on every device individually for each side and the battery case and don’t automatically switch.

We go further. We encourage most conversations to happen on our public forum and our youtube show. Documentation and architectural, economic and legal discussion is in the open too. Everyone is encouraged to prepare their thoughts privately, so they do not embarrass themselves publicly, but the cross-pollination of ideas is crucial.

The result is here:

https://community.intercoin.org

https://youtube.com/c/intercoin

Anyone coming by is able to see what we are working on. We’re gradually moving to self-hosting everything open source, with no reliance on Big Tech at all. We do want to rely increasingly on decentralized networks, though.

Even our clients are encouraged to come on the show to discuss their challenges and their needs, rather than “requirements gathering” in private. They sign a release that we can use clips in our marketing. We explain to them that they get exposure for their community and fundraising, as the clips get shared in the subsequent months. A few clients insist on an NDA - we put them on a waitlist at the back of the line. We prioritize clients who are willing to openly discuss their community and needs. As a result, we also have an endless supply of “reality TV” case studies from beginning to end of testimonials about how they needed our service, and then how we helped them.

By creating a culture of openness and collaboration, we make sure people know what is happening. Our roadmap is public. Our customers are public. I personally interviewed some well known people this past year:

Noam Chomsky, political commentator

Sara Hanks, author of Regulation S at SEC

Ian Clarke, founder of Freenet, the first truly decentralized hosting network

Thomas Greco, community currency economist

And much more. Now in the show’s second season, I plan to organize panels where we have multiple well-known people and have them discuss stuff for 1-2 hours. Sometimes we may use a famous person as a reason to reach out to other famous people to be on the same show.

I used to wonder why I accomplish so much and yet get so little interest. It’s because you have to be public with your successes and grow a snowball around your project, to attract people with clout, reach, resources, and other forms of capital. To build a movement, it’s better to have every member to bring 1 new person a week, than spend $ on marketing on FAMGA in a zero-sum game to strangers. Virality wins in the end, and us far more sustainable.

The goal is about more cross pollination of ideas. We don’t have a big audience (yet). But we will be selling this software and this system, to celebrities, conferences and other projects - including tech startups. If you’re interested, comment below.

I read recently about how tribal people dance until total exhaustion, after which they enter a trance and see visions.

Then recently I sharpened my knife for 2 hours straight, and somehow managed to write something that seemed to be relatively divinely inspired (compared to my usual crap).

There might be a pattern where some kind of physical/mental exhaustion would induce the people into a trance like state under which inspired worked could be “channeled” through.

I use these mystical terms somewhat loosely, but I would say that after an actual channeling experience (not very successful but one nonetheless) the act of writing feels weirdly similar to the point that I suspect they could share some similar processes underneath.
I got asked to participate in a Gallup poll once. On numerous questions, my answer wasn't part of the "permitted" answers so they had to enter something only mildly related to my real opinion (and the interviewer kept badgering me to select one of the permitted answers, which was amusing).

These polls are unreliable from the outset, bad poll design defeats their accuracy even with well-meaning respondents. So nowadays, I just decline to participate.
Such third parties arent the third parties that you are thinking about. Think of contracted security vendors in finance sector, with experts auditing things etc. Not some subscription-powered bot running some scripts somewhere.
What are you talking about? I don't understand how you've never encountered variables depending on each other.

In any moderately complex function you'll have more than one expression, and those can depend on each other. And you want them to be named and assigned; it makes it easier to read and decode intent and debug things (unless you're one of those wizards who get it right on the first try every time, kudos to you then). I'd not approve a PR that inlines/embeds complex concepts within larger expressions just to avoid creating variables...

At a certain level, managers have to delegate broadly. I think this is best illustrated by the US Army. In an ideal situation, the commander general guidance about his intent. Then his subordinates plan how to accomplish it. I wouldn't expect a Colonel to remember how to fire a mortar properly, and it's the same in IT. My manager expects a well run, secure and efficient datacenter. He expects his SMEs to take care of the details and bring issues to his attention if they exceed the ability of the SMEs to resolve.

He's also an infosec professional and gives a lot more thoughtful and nuanced analysis than you're assuming, including distinguishing between what is currently a rumor and what is currently a known fact. And his answer is more a toolkit for making your own decision instead of pretending that everyone should do the same thing.

It's a very good blog post, and well-structured too. I will note the fact that he's a furry blogger doesn't only mean that he's a furry but also that he's a blogger, regardless of topic. That experience applies well to this post related to his career, not only to his other posts related to his hobby.

> Current policy prescriptions are going to kill a lot more people than the warming they are trying to prevent.

If you think climate change is real, I don’t understand how you can believe that the current prescriptions (which aren’t even addressing the problem head on) will kill more people than the effects of climate change. The effects of climate change will probably kill at least several tens of millions of people and more likely the count may an order of magnitude more through direct and indirect effects (including displacement, riots, disease, etc.).
I can do that pretty well on the exhale, but no way for me on the inhale.
That's unfortunate but I suppose a consequence of a less active ecosystem. I don't recall dealing with that back in the day but it doesn't surprise me now, particularly with more recent technologies like MQTT.

I have written MQTT clients in Python and the module support was good. But then I discovered it was easier (for the most part) to use the Mosquitto cli utilities and pipe stuff to/from them. For cases where that was awkward, it was easy enough to write in C and use the PAHO libraries directly.
I would say there are many things lower one can engage in than commenting on an internet forum on a news event, not least, presiding over decades of colonial terror and genocide.

How should we handle an over-productive employee?
Incorrect. The benefits come from more informed macroeconomic policy, more targeted economic tools, and potential benefits around more targeted and effective sanctions against international bad actors.

The idea is that the benefits to the user are a more stable economy (lower inflation, higher employment), a more effective safety net (politicians more likely to approve payments that can't be spent on gambling), and greater peace (targeted sanctions as an alternative to war).

Whether any/all of these will work effectively is debatable of course, but there are legitimately good reasons to think they would. And no, there's no alternative that does them better, and crypto certainly doesn't. Again, the individual merits can be argued, but the idea that it is "all bad no good" is simply not the case here.

Fun-tac is your friend.
CBDC removes the overheads of banking as it exists, which always had a foundational premise of limited ability to govern and coordinate directly at large scale. Private banks have all kinds of specific responsibilities and requirements to move and store money, and they extract fees from that.

The basic logic(from the perspective of the government) is that this is a further centralizing of economic power, and therefore adds efficiencies of scale.

The downside of that is basically that it closes off any remaining illusions of privacy from the state in one's financial matters. The banks were already cooperating in the existing framework, this just makes it easier. And really, I think I'm OK with this as a clarifying step. In the bad old days you were basically relying on a system that would get things wrong with no recourse: sometimes banks failed and you lost your deposit. If you actually wanted to maintain economic privacy under that system you were at the mercy of the bureaucracy, and if you wanted specifically to evade the law and taxation you would have to set up a semblance of alibi(thus laundering etc.)

The whole sphere of crypto/privacy coins doesn't really enter into this in any direct way, since the premise of those is to suggest economic ideas outside of the model of the nation state, which is actually different from a "for or against" position as is often imagined: it's just a different kind of economic technology for account and settlement, one that prioritizes keeping a consensus secure over installing a speedy arbiter.
Most climate change zealots (note I’m not implying climate change didn’t exist, I’m talking about the activists) believe the decisions that led us to this point are a sin in a religious sense, and require atonement and punishment. They see an era of scarcity and sacrifice as a fundamental necessity and thus any solutions that don’t demand it as I sufficiently putative.

Your choice to take a vacation was not a vote for more fossil fuel drilling, even if our economy is structured that way and our cultural myth is that a dollar is a vote and makes you complicit in the supply chain. You're trying to meet your needs to experience novelty and relax using the means at your disposal; the kerosene in that airplane could have been produced any number of ways, it could have been drawn from the air using nuclear power and Fischer-Tropsch synthesis if we structured our economy to meet the needs of society instead of structuring society to meet the needs of the economy.

[Everything that follows is my personal opinion. I do not speak for my company.]

Seven years and counting for me, and likewise proud. I have found it a good experience, on balance. I have witnessed -- and been subjected to -- behavior by individuals that people would reasonably consider "toxic", and I've been fortunate to have avoided long-term impact. I do what I can to fight it where I find it.

To the point of remote work, I've been primarily remote the whole time, and it's worked out well. If enforced RTO ever does happen (I don't expect it to), I'll have a decision to make, is all.
Buying AirPods Pro when I lost my original AirPods was probably one of the worst purchases I've made recently. They keep falling out no matter what I do, until I got these silicon "shark tip" covers that mimic the kind of eartips a lot of sports headphones have. It's so annoying.
Acceptance is an understandable psychological reaction. There is just too much horror going on on this planet to let it affect our psyche too deeply. However, it is important to cultivate a rational ethical attitude that despises such things regardless of one's psychological state. Moral sentiments need not be accompanied by moral affections. The insight that something is fundamentally wrong can guide action out of duty, and does not require inclination.
In addition to the factors mentioned by other replies, Embodiment of Scarlet Devil was a huge shift in design; the prior games felt a lot like a bullet hell aesthetic backported to an '80s platform/engine, whereas Embodiment of Scarlet Devil was much more directly influenced by contemporaneous arcade games like Guwange and Giga Wing.
Has it been done at the scale we’re about to enter? I honestly can’t see an alternative here, but I’m happy to hear your thoughts. We’re talking most of the Western world, and to a lesser extent China/India, but they traditionally keep the elders at home for free anyway (which means they will have to subsidize the average working age people - front loading the problem essentially).
Rivers courses change all the time regardless of climate change. But in any case, this has nothing to do with whether there are "tipping points".
