Contracts that include the employer footing the bill for professional (transferable) licensure are an entirely different thing than discussed in this article, and I think it's reasonable to have some kind of agreement. Even then, I'm not sure I feel sorry for the employer if something like this were to happen as the requirement to even provide this training would be due to market requirements. Many pilots spend a large chunk of their lives paying for their own training and working underpaid jobs (banner tow, instructing) just because it allows them seat time without it deducting from their bank account.

Of course many other factors would sway my opinion of the matter into different directions. Who made the decision to change the fleet to Gulfstream multi-engine jets versus single-engine, or from flying cargo to adding the option to carry passengers, etc. Was the pilot already part of the company when these new qualification requirements were added, etc?
Certainly better for those looking to default, don't you think?

The problem for the would-be defaulters is the same as it has always been --- they are relatively insignificant in the overall scheme of things. Their primary bargaining chip is their own credibility --- which they now threaten to destroy.
I always ask myself how the blockchain would work with physical products. Isn‘t there always a human who needs to either

- enter the data somewhere

- put a tag on the product

- scan a tag

and where they could, knowingly or not, produce false data?

From the original question:

> I am curious what are the current best practices and offerings for hosting images (or short videos, gifs, etc.) for small to mid scale websites?

At that point your images are in the same place, and have the same workflows, as your entire site. If your blog / landing page is spread among different services, it'll take more time to maintain, more time to train a newcomer to understand, more points of failure...

IE, if you use one of the "git repo -> CDN" products, your images and static content are part of the same workflow, and the CDN handles all of your scalability issues. Your update process simply becomes a "one and done" pull request with 100% off-the-shelf automation.

> Using Cloudflare is very straightforward

Last weekend I hit a bug in Cloudcannon -> Cloudflare's certificate handling. Our landing page was down for about half a day. Fortunately it was Sunday night and most of our customers aren't the kind of people who'd be browsing our landing page on a Sunday. It was resolved quick enough, but it would have been a lot more frustrating if we were a consumer product or our blog was a lot more integral to our business.

I'm not entirely sure where to point the finger, though. We "bring our own cert" instead of using Cloudflare's (or Cloudcannon's) automatically-generated certificate.
Mathematicians Surprised by Hidden Fibonacci Numbers
Body resonance also -- which provides most of the color of an instrument's sound. For example, middle C on an electric bass guitar (which sounds at 130.8 Hz) often sounds "honky" or "thunky" -- this is due to a null in the body resonance. (Not all bass guitars exhibit this.)
OpenBSD has certain flags it sets on various partitions to enable/disable performance and security features. Sort of like setting `noexec` on /tmp, using XFS instead of BTRFS on your database volume, etc. Like most OpenBSD things, it stays way on the "correctness/security" side of the "security--convenience" scale
BlueTie is there any way I can get in touch with you? Agreed, Fanatical Prospecting is essential reading. And live prospecting for those types of offices is a good way to go initially and a reason why pharmaceutical sales reps do the same. They stop by, chat up gatekeepers and give them gifts. Gatekeepers love the ones with good gifts (fancy pens, desk sets, tickets, etc.), which those companies with their huge margins have the budgets for (I don’t suggest spending on costly gifts).
I can see that happening. But those changes are probably going to be relatively small and easy to understand. I dislike looking at pull requests where it's just a wall of red/green in a single file. It makes it almost impossible to figure out what the person has done.

I wonder how many other frameworks often see this type of organization?

I don't understand why even this is sensible. Why not just use a database? The only miners/validators on a produce blockchain are likely to be agri-companies anyway.
We're probably going to start seeing corporations put sentinel lines in their code, search for it, and C&D anywhere the sentinel lines turn up.

No, it's not. Even a coin that is emitted one per second forever is disinflationary. Not only is the yearly supply inflation rate perfectly predictable (unlike fiat), it also steadily converges toward zero (again, unlike fiat).
In the long term, the difference between finite and infinite supply is negligible as long as the yearly supply never increases [1].

I found this article to be poorly-written and deliberately inflammatory. I'll gloss over the regular criticism of "stop conflating cryptocurrencies with blockchains".

It makes continual leaps from Satoshi Nakamoto's intentions to short-comings of non-BTC cryptocurrencies, and then snowballs this into the tremendously non-sequitur subheading Bitcoin has failed. Cryptocurrencies and DeFi platforms are now more vulnerable to privacy breaches and hacking than traditional banking.

Personally, all I see are a string of obvious scams collapsing. These scams were perpetrated by imposters pretending to be a part of a movement so that they could better tug on their victims' heartstrings. But I fail to see how the goals of these imposters should be conflated with the intentions of Satoshi Nakamoto, purely because the imposters bastardized Nakamoto's tech.

Also - the title is barely the subject of the article, but even if it were, I don't think that it, in any way, stands contrary to the goals of Bitcoin. I could see it being an issue for a blockchain meant for privacy, like Monero, but I didn't see any such reference in the article.

My last two comments do not seem to be 'pivoting' at all.
Nor do they appear to be bringing up 'straw men', a non-substantiated claim isn't credible.

I was trying to achieve a response to your comment that:
'There is no conceptual reason why a distributed cryptographic currency could not take the place of cash for in person transactions. In realty crypto has many other issues, but not this one.'

There is in fact at least one conceptual reason 'why a distributed cryptographic currency could not take the place of cash for in person transactions'.
I think I take the middle position between you and GP, C is slowly working it’s way towards unnecessary complexity. Most of the ‘X language is a C replacement’ posts and threads here on HN seem to disregard C’s development (particularly from 2017 onward) through committee standards releases. Everyone keeps arguing about Rust, Zig, Odin, etc and claiming one or the other is clearly more C like and the others are too complicated/expansive/growth-prone. But no one ever stops and claims that the simple C in there heads is not C in 2022, but C in 1990.

C is not yet at the point where added features, idioms, or concepts have totally removed the ability to return to or regularly restrict yourself to some ‘simple’ subset of the language. However, the push to add more and more to the standard does not inspire hope that this situation will remain.

So while I don’t think it’s there yet, it certainly looks like complexity via continual expansion is the path forward. I may not like it, but it does seem to be a reasonable supposition by GP.
Yeah, that's the plan. Figure some things out for myself and then learn on the "Best Practices" to improve.

Reminds me of Kim Wexler from Better Call Saul. Her tuition was paid by the law firm she worked for. This comes up in the story later on.

I imagine that companies can't just be used for free education. There has to be some middle ground. If there is a middle ground found, then both sides (the employees and the employers) will both end up in a better place. If there is no protection for the employer, well then they will just not provide any as much education as the situation calls for. And if employees are given a fair deal, they will be more likely to apply for these jobs. Maybe let the free market solve this.
Actually, from reading the article, it seems yes.

I have a vested interest in this era of European art. At the time, Colour science was torn between the empirical (Newton, Chevreul) and mad-ass angry mystics like Goethe and Itten. The later did nothing but obfuscate the truth, and threw mus at anyone of opposing views. In the end the latter won, and their muddled teachings have reigned supreme in art schools ever since.

Putting on my conspiracy robe, I would posit Bitcoin was created by an intelligence agency. You need cryptography smarts and the ability to glue all the various components together aswell as keep it all hush, something an intel agency can do with ease. How else do you uncover vast criminal networks? It was purposefully made to ensnare cyber-criminals.

Now as for Monero, I would imagine it has them shaking in their boots.
No, there are legitimate uses. But that's not what this article is about. It's about the abusive uses of the practice. And the abusive ones almost never survive a courtroom challenge. The employers are counting on the fact that the employee isn't going to quit, and if they do they'll capitulate to the threats. Because that's what usually happens.
I agree with this cynical take, but the OP is still correct.

The same process can be seen at work in the history of democracy and human rights within countries that transitioned from royalty and aristocracy.
Hey, just read your comment.

You seem to be using Scheme macros (try, async, list comprehensions, etc) to reproduce Python semantics in a Scheme syntax. That's one level on top of what we offer, i.e. I think it's very interesting, but as a library. Otherwise you're not writing Scheme anymore (your 'list' example looks good, but it's not Scheme).

We actually chose not to implement list comprehensions in the infix syntax because our grammar is a hybrid to allow us to have multiple target languages. You can already see how choices at this level can be mutually exclusive: the Python import syntax is not the same as the JavaScript import syntax.

Anyway, this is a vast space to explore, we just want to keep writing Scheme _with_ another language. Interesting, thank you.

Why & how did you arrive at the decision to use Cloudinary to host images for your Savory website instead of locally hosting them yourself?

Have you looked at your Cloudinary analytics dashboard to quantify what magnitude of bandwidth you're dealing with?

Yeah, exactly this actually :) I didn't want to get too verbose in the little bullet points (I already use parentheticals way too often lol), but it'd be more accurate to have written "Use kubernetes, or some other tool that takes care of container networking, lifecycle, health checks etc for you" -- I bet if you squint even platforms like GCP app engine would fit the bill here

Yeah this is the fundamental problem, the only benefit you get with a blockchain is you know the data hasn't been altered from the original but there's no guarantee the data originally entered was correct. All the pitches about tracking shipments have the same issue, shipping companies already do most of that without blockchain and the main issue of people lying to the computers isn't solved by adding a chain to the mix.
GitHub Pages works for non-commercial purposes. You get 1GB to serve and max file size is 100MB. Soft bandwidth limit 100GB/month, with some rate limiting. Best to put CloudFlare in front (actually I can't get CloudFlare to work with Google Pages, their cache never expires so no new pages show up through CloudFlare)

CloudFlare Pages (https://pages.cloudflare.com/) has a free plan with 100 sites, unlimited requests, unlimited bandwidth. Maximum file size 25MB, 20,000 files, 100 domains, 100 custom headers, 2,000 static redirects, 100 dynamic redirects. (https://developers.cloudflare.com/pages/platform/limits/) Unknown if there's a commercial restriction.

"such unpredictable and pathological ways" is not an extraneous phrase. This is simply a mathematical fact; the perversity of the universe is greater than your mathematical toolkit can handle.

No, that's also not accurate. Words mean things. We know that parts of the cochlea respond to different frequencies, but that does remotely imply that the auditory system is doing Fourier analysis, which is a high level mathematical transform with a specific set of formulations. "Fourier Analysis" does not describe every possible method of extracting frequency content from a signal.

If they do this, their stock will collapse. They are priced on future growth (which is already getting a lot less valuable), so if they admit there is a cap, they will start trading at a reasonable P/E ratio.

Here is some context behind musical tuning systems, and how harmony works:

Musical harmony in Western music is based on physical properties of the way materials vibrate. When you vibrate something resonant through plucking, striking, forcing air through, etc, it vibrates at a fundamental frequency, and integer multiples of that fundamental frequency. So for instance 400 Hz, 800 Hz, 1200 Hz, etc.

The power of two multiples sound like the same note in a higher octave. Human hearing is logarithmic, and the same note one octave higher is double the frequency.

The non power of 2 multiples do NOT sound like the same note. These notes are what "sounds good" with the base frequency, and generally the lower frequency multiple it comes from the better it sounds. So for instance, starting with 400 Hz, 400 x 3 = 1200. Divide that back down below 800 to 600 to put it in the same "octave", and you have the interval called a 5th. 400 Hz x 5 = 2000, divide it back down to 500 Hz. That's a major 3rd? I think? It might be a 4th, I don't remember.

Notice that these frequencies are defined by exact ratios to each other, not by consistent logarithmic increases which can be repeated in a pattern (a scale). So, how can you split up an octave in the way that most closely appoximates these exact ratios? Turns out dividing an octave into 12 steps is much better than any number before or after until you get to 24. Thus the 12 note system of western music.

All the different tuning systems mentioned by others are trying to tune these 12 notes for different purposes. Older pre-modern systems usually tuned to C most exactly, and left small errors in every other key. These small errors gave different character to different keys in music of the time. Newer tuning systems (equal temperament), have the key errors balanced out evenly across every key, so every key now sounds the same in character.

Yes, of course. The claim that all keys sound the same is neither objectively nor subjectively true. Objectively, the root notes are at different frequencies, and the other notes similarly feature a unique combination of frequencies.

Subjectively, I - and I presume many others - get a particular feel even from individual notes, and when I compose something I often start by picking a root note that suits what I want, and then choose the key based on that. Otherwise why have keys in the first place? I’ve had conversations with other musicians about what particular key we’re into lately, for instance, for a long time I’ve really enjoyed Bb minor.

Rick is making that claim in a similar manner to how adult language learners may never develop a perfect local accent. There is truth to that, but it is not an absolute.

I emphasise that the common belief echoed here in this discussion perpetuates to children who can learn perfect pitch but often do not for lack of encouragement.

It is similar to illiteracy that is often perpetuated by parents to their offspring, which incidentally is often the case with music notation. There are different languages of music notation but most children never learn to read or write.
