> But isn't that exactly what the Europeans did in the US and Canada, Australia and New Zealand, even Argentina? Import new people, who vastly outnumber and outvote the descendants of the original inhabitants?

This is an example of how something is good? These were some of the worst acts in history, and involved many, many, mass graves.

> And not just Europeans – it is also what China did to Taiwan.

Taiwan was invaded by the retreating ROC army. So this is what that army did to the Formosans, not what "China" did to "Taiwan.* Again: the current government of Taiwan were the people who brutally suppressed the Formosans, and took over their island.

Indigenous Taiwanese make up 2% of the current population, and live in the mountains.

> The fact that Russia's annexation of Crimea is only a few years old is a very large part of the challenge to its legitimacy.

Crimea became part of the Soviet that corresponds to Ukraine under the Soviet Union in 1954, and its population was and is Russian speaking. There is no serious challenge to its legitimacy other than the fact that the US is going to use every opportunity to harass Russia and China it can, no matter the claim.

Speaking of recent claims, The current Ukraine's claim to Crimea dates from 1995. Crimea hoped to be independent after the fall of the USSR, until: "In October 1993, the Crimean parliament established the post of president of Crimea. Tensions rose in 1994 with election of separatist leader Yury Meshkov as Crimean president. On 17 March 1995, the parliament of Ukraine abolished the Crimean constitution of 1992, all the laws and decrees contradicting those of Kyiv, and also removed Yuriy Meshkov, the then president of Crimea, along with the office itself."
Awesome. Finally we get more honesty in the public debate again.
I've been laid off before and I've lost jobs for a variety of reasons including the company going under. What I've learnt from it is that you just have to keep moving forwards. If you try to cling to the past or hold on to a mental framework or lifestyle that isn't working it'll just drag you down. I get that people want security but in the end the only real security is that which you provide for yourself, if you put blind faith into systems that you don't have any control over at some point they will fail you, most of the time through no fault of their own and you'll be left to fend for yourself. That's why I always start from that position, I make sure I'm able to protect myself first. Everything else is window dressing.
Not great, the signal to noise ratio is off because everyone’s posts have equal weight, where on Twitter since you choose who to follow you can curate your own feed. On Twitter it feels like the important posts rise to the top so it’s great way of keeping track of news, but With Discord it’s much easier to miss important posts.

Also threads are harder to follow, and since channels aren’t public by default and don’t have a web address you can’t bookmark threads to reference later.
I don't understand why redhat in particular still is so obsessed with C. I saw that Flatpak was written in C looking at the repo recently and for such a security relevant, relatively young project I don't know why people still stick to non-GC languages.

How is this affecting no US employees?

For example you cannot just fire people in the UK like you can in the US, it is against the law.
I think the implied question was "It isn't affecting me, here is the data I see around myself. That data is incongruent with the headlines, can you offer an explanation and show me what I am missing?"
The whole Clojure ecosystem is another worth considering, including systems like Datomic, and Datomic Cloud (commercial product and SaaS product respectively).
That's true but you can't spend your entire life doing things without worrying about success or money else you live a fantasy.

How would a reader know that? And how can that be true when the brackets are so different? UK does not even look like it has single vs married distinctions, not to mention the myriad deductions in the US, and the drastically different taxes in various locales (I pay $30k+ less per year by living on the other side of a state/city border).

https://www.nerdwallet.com/article/taxes/federal-income-tax-...

https://www.gov.uk/income-tax-rates

The 45% UK income tax rate is for 150k GBP, which is $167k. The top bracket for US federal income tax starts at $578k/$693k at a 37% tax rate.

It does not seem to pencil out to being remotely close, and that is ignoring UK National insurance and pension tax rates, but I am not sure how UK pension works to equivocate to US FICA taxes.

I’d be more likely to work with Twitter now to be frank. Elon is obviously trying to implement an engineering lead organisation where coding and productivity are valued.

A lot of these companies tend to be manager heavy, I’ve worked in places where it seemed over half the people in meetings were managers or other unproductive people. It frequently felt like these people were stifling the work as they all had their own agendas etc.

Elon is an engineer first and has s big vision. If you’re one of the people left it must feel like the company has taken a new direction.

Social networks like Twitter use ML to boost engagement.

It turns out this tends to lead to ML amplifying pretty destructive patterns... racism, conspiracy theories, ideological bubbles, anti-semitism, etc.

A company might wonder how to boost engagement without promoting these things.
It is hard for me to give any advice here as I learned by being a kid. I was lucky enough to have an uncle who handed us down an Amiga 500. It came with a few games. And we received right at the tail end of a push to teach every kid programming in the late 80s. So I had heaps of Compute! magazines and books on BASIC from the library.

Back then games were expensive and computer programming was, I think, a lot more accessible. Learning how to make your own games seemed almost like a natural thing to do with a computer in that environment. So that’s what I did.

I went from BASIC and assembly to C to make games for the Amiga and later DOS. I eventually picked up some Perl later on after the “Internet” came out. I even dropped out of high school for a year to make a ton of money building websites with it in the 90s. The crash happened, I finished school a year later than my mates.

Brief interlude in my early twenties to play in bands, learn music production, start a record label, and fail at that before giving up and take up making websites to make a buck.

I remained self taught. I never really stopped programming. My record label was supposed to be this subscription service online that let you stream and share as much of the catalog as you wanted and get dibs on merch, tickets, secret shows, etc. I built a good bit of it myself.

I just kept going. Programming is something that I had a knack for, an interest in, and I guess the focus and discipline to learn more and more as I went.

These days I enjoy formal methods, hacking around in Haskell, I still build things in C and assembly to make games for old retro consoles or whatever.

If there is any advice in this rant I guess it’s: follow your nose. If you like programming you’ll find a way to stick through it.

These are becoming more popular in Europe, my mother for instance bought it, which I can't comprehend since she lives just with her husband. On top of that she bought also chest freezer for effin 2 people household. Meanwhile my family of 4 has no issues to use ~210cm regular Whirpool fridge with bottom freezer.

I don't like the idea of American fridges, they waste lot of space on the separator middle wall, I think the best compromise who is not fine with regular fridge are now a bit wider fridges but with single vertical door.

My Chinese in-laws have vertical fridge which has 3 sections, top regular door fridge, middle drawer which goes directly outside (not sure whether it's chilled or frozen), no need to open anything and bottom freezer with door.

> Platforms must mitigate against risks such as disinformation or election manipulation, cyber violence against women, or harms to minors online"

That one statement especially got my attention.

The main issue with disinformation, to my mind, is who have means and interests to use them.

> cyber violence against women

The only occurrence of "women" in the actual legal text is there[1]:

In view of possible cross-cutting elements that may be of relevance for other regulatory frameworks at Union level, the Board should be allowed to cooperate with other Union bodies, offices, agencies and advisory groups with responsibilities in fields such as equality, including equality between *women* and men, and non-discrimination, data protection, electronic communications, audiovisual services, detection and investigation of frauds against the EU budget as regards custom duties, or consumer protection, as necessary for the performance of its tasks.

So the press release goes too far in simplification, at least in my taste. If women are more likely to suffer cyber violence, it should just states it explicitly, but not tacitly exclude adults males. It seams that researchers even coined the term "fear of crime gender paradox" as often males are more likely to be victim of violent crime.[2] No I don’t say men and women are on pare regarding being bullied online, I have no idea. The few research I made on the fly give mixed results, [3] is focus on females right from the start which doesn’t help, while [4] says that their data are too weak to be conclusive on that point.

I think that Alameda should release its actual numbers, rather than to keep them private. Sunlight is the best disinfectant to these types of rumours.

Right now I think that your response isn't any more credible than these other posts.
guess it would have to be in the last few days, given you can't sue for something that hasn't happened yet, right? IANAL, so I don't know... up till last night, it was all speculation... when it was confirmed, they could sue then... maybe the paper work was in process, and finally filled when it happened...
Keeping factories open during the initial COVID lockdowns because of your personal belief that it's "just the flu", and thus putting the lives of your employees at risk, seems like a direct analog to peeing in bottles to me.
Well people can be hard to replace thanks to skills and training they received on the workplace... which they can quit on a short notice if they are offered better pay elsewhere, causing enormous problems for business owners. So it kinda checks out.

Obligations shouldn't be one way, they should be mutual. If you want an ironclad employment security, etc, etc, you should also accept to be bound to your workplace until the business hires somebody else to do your work who is as qualified to do your work as you are. And if you think that your obligation is only to work well until you decide to quit at the moment of your choosing... then you should also accept that this moment might be chosen by your employer.
There should be real skepticism about arbitration in user agreements, but didn’t make it easier in this case? Only someone rich or famous enough to entice a free lawyer could afford to sue PayPal over a suspended account. But many many more people could afford to try arbitration.
Isn't that the case though? I often have the case of some cheap-ass i2c peripheral getting locked up because of noise on the lines or what not. While this hopefully gets caught and we get the timing right to make things work in production, I pretend it's an async device that can fail and lock up at any point. It makes debugging easier.
But it does matter if the have.
For what it’s worth, I’ve been a Linode customer for about 12 years and have never had a problem. This current issue does not even affect me as my boxes are on static IPs. My setup consists of a number of Linode VPSes, a single Hetzner Box in Germany, and an S3 glacier bucket (the only Amazon service I use) for backups. It’s probably not optimal, especially for the business case, but it works for all my hobby and side projects.

The problem with Terra was that the stakers got a guaranteed* 20% anual interest in dollars*. You can take a look at all the fine print and implementation details, or be a naysayer like me and read the 20% and claim it will collapse.

I can't find the details about FTT/FTX. How high is the guaranteed* anual interest in dollars*?

* With some mild assumptions, like the coins doesn't crash miserably. Past performance does not guarantee future results. YMMV.

Note: This year with a 7% inflation rate perhaps a 20% is not too unrealistic as in usual years with a 2% inflation.
I think Reddit is more centralized in its younger age range than the other popular social media sites.
It's not the next few years, but half-century out that I'm worried about. I'll personally be retired by that point, sure, but that doesn't stop me from being deeply worried by society at large. Even good programmers are going to have a hard time finding jobs.

You're also missing that programming isn't the only sector that's going to be upended by automation. Basically every job market is going to be affected by the end of the century.

>If we reach some zen state where truly all has been automated then we’ll have UBI (or some dystopian hellscape)

In the States at least, the resistance to any form of socialism is so strong that I have no faith UBI has a snowball's chance in hell.

This might explain why Sam Trabucco the former co-CEO abruptly left out of the blue a few months ago…

For those not in the know, Alameda is THE trading firm in crypto that everyone always assumes is causing liquidations. For them to be insolvent would be a huge deal.

It’s crazy to watch greed pollute the minds of crypto trading firms like Three Arrows Capital and Alameda. Zhu Su put it best in his own tweet long ago before the greed set in and he needed more and more gains.

https://twitter.com/zhusu/status/1092305648904065024

“Bad TA (technical analysis) is not just marginally bad--it can mean being net down trading an asset that has gone 1,500x and is still 250x from start date.”

“For much of 2017, Buy and Hold was actually the best performing strategy since Jan1 2013 of ALL TA strategies possible. This can easily become the case again if we go on a bull run at some point.”

Crypto gains are so large that there is no need to go crazy with trading and leverage and the crashes every four years are actually a great boon as long as you realize they will never go away.

Overall unemployment and job opening numbers are still fine, at least in the US. The headlines are a handful of high-profile previous market darlings that overhired like crazy and added 20-50% headcount during the pandemic. They're not indicative of any kind of trend, just like the great resignation panic wasn't, either, and labor force participation declines overall tracked at about the same rate as they have for decades. Trend lines are bumpy, but they're still generally moving at any smoothed multiyear line as they have for a long time. The only real outlier is headline CPI inflation, but even that bumped up mostly earlier in the year and hasn't stayed high, though the way it's reported "year over year" means it'll look that way until a year after the initial shock unless prices actually go down again, which is unlikely due to ratchet effect.

Other than inflation, most of what we're seeing is just regression to the mean after a lot of shit went bonkers during the pandemic.

The "mean" for software jobs is still about the best sector job market the world has ever seen outside of the last two years of software jobs and 2005-era mortgage finance. Maybe early Iraq War oil exploration, but you had to move to the Dakotas or bumfuck West Texas if you wanted in on that.
So there will be a separate indicator for famous personalities according to this thread. This makes a lot more sense then.

The verification badge will only be used to know whether someone is human verified against an ID. And the other indicator will tell whether they’re a celebrity.

This way we will still have a way to know whether it’s a celebrity, and it will also solve the bot problem.

The definition of insolvency is not being able to pay your debts. Alameda claims $14.6B in assets vs $8B debts, which means they're solvent. If they actually only have 12% of $14.6 = $1.8B, they're way mucho insolvent.
