Can you even say "stealing back" when the Feds just had some copy of a private key while there always have been (many) others?

I mean, would you call it stealing back if the Feds seize a real key to a vault, know there may be others out there and then leave the fault completely accessible only to act surprised when the vault is empty after some time?

Ownership of blockchain assets is defined by who has access to the private keys. It seems a bit ignorant to forget about this, much less write a piece ignoring this.
Not sure why this is getting downvoted. Stack ranking is the laziest and, other than perhaps random sampling, the most idiotic way to "cull" a class. The only reason people are okay with it is the cycle of abuse: "I had to suffer through this, so, by golly, the next generation will have to as well!" You also see this in software engineering hiring processes ("well, if I had to whiteboard memoization, so will the new kids!").

The counter-example is trivial: suppose you have ten "Einsteins" in your class, but due to your dumb-ass stack ranked curve, you "cut" 4 of them. Congratulations, you just set back human progress 300 years.

For the record, UCLA was equally-idiotic when it came to grading. Technically, getting an A+ (4.3) was possible, but they were virtually NEVER given out. Why? Who the fuck knows -- I asked multiple times what I could have done better. I only ever got a handful of A+'es (and basically had straight A's).

As an aside, I wish I could nuke the entire educational system. It's corrupted by lazy and complacent professors (that clearly suck at their job: see the reproducibility crisis, p-hacking, etc.), a veritable swamp of administrators (syphoning six-figure salaries across the board), and bloated sports budgets. All while issuing unforgivable loans to record-high numbers of students.

I've been thinking about something similar. Maybe somebody can shoot it down.

For many achievements, most credit belongs to the role, not the person. In other words, the counterfactual of "if we didn't all agree that somebody will do this" would better prevent the achievement than "if one specific person didn't have their talent." We have phrases like "the time is ripe" because we know this. When conditions are in place, things happen.

The person in the role is who society has given the permission and the means to do the thing, whose doing of the thing is accepted and even expected, so it's mostly unremarkable when that specific person is the one who does it. That's who we supported in getting it done.

No one is surprised when every major fire was put out by firefighters, every touchdown pass was thrown by the quarterback, or every US law was passed by Congress and signed by the President.

Maybe Alice is uniquely qualified to be the president, and President Bob is a stooge. He's still the one to sign the law, though, and the law still gets signed. No amount of merit Alice has can change this. Society has still arranged itself to have a person in this role and Bob is just the person.

The arrangement (and the unavoidable path-dependence of history) is what magnifies the tiny contribution of the individual's abilities and makes them seem so necessary to the outcome. Given the prerequisites we've hidden in the role are met, the individual is all that's left.

Newton was a genius who invented calculus—but so did Leibniz. Einstein was a genius who invented relativity, but arguably so did others whose work we lump in with his; it makes a better story. They all had social institutions to support them achieving whatever they could. Their ability to get it done provided that support was clearly not unique.

It's more important that the roles to do the work have people in them, the conditions are in place for someone to do it, than exactly who is in which role.
Kudos on the work. Netlink interfaces are one of the most underdocumented part of the linux kernel userspace ABI. Current wish: more stateful netlink decoding in strace.
> Doesn't that practically mean the rich get richer and the poor stay poor? If it would be net 0 everything would stay the same?

The rich aren't rich through this route, although things they do mean that bank interest rates are a guaranteed return for people who are less risk-tolerant. They're rich through one or more of: risk-taking, talent, hard work, luck, connections, etc, all of which feed into the one thing that makes them money: usefulness to other people.
> You can't state it was a myth and then later say you don't know!

The word myth generally has two meanings. One is that it's a false belief. The other is that it's a legendary story of which the truth is not known. GP obviously intended the latter definition.

Huh, I've been intermittent fasting (eating only between 11am - 7pm for me) for most of this year, and haven't noticed any emotional changes like that.

But the physical ones definitely! I feel way healthier and my bloodwork just came back much improved as well.

For me, though, I don't think it has anything at all to do with the time restriction so much as the inadvertent calorie restriction. I've lost 30 lbs since I started, mostly because intermittent fasting has caused me to cut out my late night snacking and my greasy breakfasts.
All gatekeepers of status, like university degrees have a problem with what to do with the losers. We could use IQ tests as a gatekeeper, which would be more efficient for everyone because it is nearly free and takes hours, but if we did this, the majority who failed would scream about how it's unfair and political pressure wouldn't allow it. This is why there are laws against using IQ tests for hiring.

So we use university degrees which take 4 years and cost hundreds of thousands of dollars instead, because then we can say it's about putting in the work. And for some reason people are more accepting of someone else being more successful because they are perceived to have worked harder rather than just because they were born smarter.

But now we have another problem, the customers of the university who have spent all this money are being denied the status that they have purchased for such a high price. So they are pissed now and claim the system is unfair. And the universities respond by dumbing down their degrees to the point where everyone who gets in will pass.

And now we have yet another problem. A gatekeeper of status can't be widely available, or it doesn't confer status. So we will have to find a new gatekeeper, and then the cycle can repeat.

My problem was less a pin count issue and more a reliability/hardware complexity issue. I was trying to have a fully passive backplane, resistors, diodes and maybe some capacitors if needed, very simple, very electrically reliable, and then I wanted to put my individual modules onto the backplane bus in such a way that it didn’t really matter if one of them died, they weren’t supposed to be reliant on any sort of bus master or shared backplane provided clock signal, or anything like that, I was picturing something like an old school Ethernet hub network using parallel signals, each board can handle collision detection and listening for its “address” without any dependence on any of the other hardware boards. Seems so simple I figured something like it had to exist, but either it doesn’t, or Google and DuckDuckGo failed me hundreds of times over a couple of weeks searching for information about backplanes, backplane standards, device busses and bus signalling.

True, but only for goods with a moat. Let's say an iPhone. I may value a fruit at 10 Euros and you may sell me a fruit at that price, but if someone else can produce them for 2 Euros they will perhaps sell them for 5 Euros and make a good profit. So the price will be 5 or even less.
His book is 1300 pages and $200, an example of an unaffordable college book that will cause some students who can’t afford $200 books in the beginning of the semester to fall behind. The system only wants student who can afford expensive textbooks unlike a public highschool where the textbooks are free. I’m an idiot in higher level academia standards .

It does seem like a failure mode of capitalism, but something I wonder about is if more capitalism could be used to fix this by basing the university's earnings on the student's earnings after getting their degree instead of pre-paying for education. Basically the students would owe X% of their earnings above Y salary for the first Z years to the university.
Another thing to consider is that in many PII laws, data which can be combined with other data to reconstruct a complete instance of PII will itself count as PII.

So if a full hostname or IP counts as PII, then a _partial_ hostname or IP also counts.
>NO, just no! Async or similar approaches were motivated by super parallel concurrency (classic example is connection handling for a webserver) to have better performance vs the overhead you'd have with os thread primitives (and even there, nowadays, that is just a motivation that is not always true anymore..)

No - that's completely wrong.

Event loops existed prior to them being popularised for IO scaling - they were used in GUI for way longer.

Async is just a way to transpose continuation based programming and the callback hell involved in dealing with event loops.

Writing UI code even in multithreaded code, without async, is a PITA because UI frameworks expect UI state to be updated on the UI thread - so you need to do work on thread X then schedule a callback on UI thread and update UI state. With async you just fire off a task, await with scheduler on the UI thread and you have linear code flow.

I agree with the title, but the article fails to deliver on the essence - saying "points are bureaucracy, backlog is bureaucracy" does not really say what is the problem, it does not explain what's an alternative to backlog that helps to solve the same problem (visibility of the work to be done, predictability, etc.)

For me the biggest problem with sprints is that they force a continuous flow into discrete boxes. An extreme example I've seen was when as a mid-level developer I was told not to pick up any new tasks, because everything we start needs to be finished by the end of the sprint, and if I start a new task now, testers won't be able to complete it before the end of the sprint.

Of course it was an abuse of the concept, but I hope you see the point - we shouldn't try to start every sprint with an empty board, because software development is continuous, and the fear of tasks "spilling" to next sprint, which I've seen multiple times, is just ridiculous.

Not so. This is partly where the "Cathedral" nomenclature came from.
I think they meant that is a "good" as in "acceptable" thing to feel entitled about, vs a "bad" or "unacceptable" thing to feel entitled about. (So there is a good or bad sense of entitlement). Not that "being treated well" is one of the "good things in life".

A rather confusing way to state it.

> See, you're moving the goalposts already. Why would constitutional monarchies not qualify as "real"?

My next sentence explains why:

> monarchies with at least lots of de jure, usually also de facto monarch power

Having an unelected head of state with lots of power isn't a "real" democracy, in my book. Places where the monarch could appoint a government and dissolve parliament at will, directly own colonies for personal exploitation, etc. were hardly "really" democratic, which excludes more than half your list (Spain depending on time of year, Portugal, Belgium, Netherlands,, UK, and I can't be bothered to look but fairly sure also Norway, Sweden, Denmark).

I already mentioned Switzerland, which wasn't a monarchy (at the federal level), but yes, was democratic. There's also San Marino.
This is nothing but a bad strawman from start to finish.

Sprints are not made to help organize things, they're a tool to get more predictable deliveries. Their very short nature forces participants to construct tasks that are easier to estimate and therefore complete on time with a higher probability.

This certainly adds overhead to an idealised scenario where people take the shortest reasonble route often enough and that is the tradeoff. Plus: people actually seldomly take the optimum routes in the first place.

Nobody has to like it, this is probably not the best method and maybe it's not even good. But the author misses the point completely.
In the 1920s it was cheaper to retain a servant full time than to own a car. Now it's completely the other way round, and for a car a million times better.

Take _any_ Stoicism philosopher, they are absolutely identical, and as far as I understood your request, any of them must be the perfect fit. Seneca, which is suggested in one of previous comment, worked great for me as a start of learning about Stoicism.
In the US, basically yes. The liberal arts degrees had been dumbed down to the point where nobody ever failed a generation ago, so people who failed out of STEM weed out classes just majored in history or something.

But now the market has figured that out, so there is a massive value premium on STEM degrees, and shifting to a history major is no longer a viable option, which is why there is now pressure to dumb down STEM degrees.
I don't know that 'hesitancy' is the right word. It's just fundamental that people in power use it to seek more power. Even a small initial power imbalance will eventually lead to a large intractable one. Happens at pretty much at all scales of social (political, economic, etc) interactions.

The only solution I see is to set up systems that make power accumulation more difficult coupled with a constant struggle to rebalance when it inevitably lopsided.
