> Are you suggesting the combined power usage of gamers specing their machines above average recommended system requirements is less than the power used by mining industry? I’m skeptical about that.

Yes, of course, I am absolutely suggesting that overspecced gaming PCs played by a minority of gamers in their spare time don't use more electricity than a medium sized developed country (or indeed the 24/7 running of industrial scale server farms deploying chips designed because even the most powerful gaming chips weren't anywhere near energy intensive enough to win the energy-burning competition). Why would you possibly consider the small number of people using high spec gaming PCs a few hours a day use more electricity than a developed world country?
See social recovery wallets, paper wallet isn’t only solution. Masses might prefer a custody on exchange but with that comes risk like in Celsius, FTX. Regulation needed to curb this risk so that those services feel just like the other “safe” CeFi services you are used to.

> In all my years of interacting with private companies they have always protected my money, even when it was taken from me fraudulently.

I was talking about data. On a long enough timeline, all financial services holding user data will be vulnerable to a breach. Money maybe also vulnerable but less so if regulated, I guess you are lucky to be interacting with regulated exchanges.

> If we require legal protections for blockchains what value does that prove over a centralised regulated system?

Regulate the companies, like Celsius and FTX. Users can use these on and off ramps into blockchain with more regulatory oversight and assurances their assets won’t be leveraged without their consent.

Your last point seems like misunderstanding. I say we haven’t yet seen FTX user data and privacy be breached.

Absolutely, there are hidden costs, in both directions.

If you only hire within the pool of people who are willing and able to commute to your office, you'll both need to pay more and have less choice. Workers are more tired as they spend hours commuting every day.

On the other hand, it's harder to develop juniors if all your seniors are working from home. Written communication lacks context that helps difficult conversations move forward. Silos build up as people in different teams never see each other.

In the long-term, I believe the broader benefits to society and the planet mean fully remote working will become almost universal. In the meantime, a hybrid model of mostly remote with broadly-attended meetups is the best combination. But some companies will decide that everybody being in the office all the time is right for them, and they can perhaps leverage some benefits of doing so.
Not sure I buy that last sentence. Why would the system populate these directories with anything other than a) what’s configured to be assigned to the system, and b) what the caller requests to be created by simply opening a specific path?

Sure, you could script opening each address of the entire address space and have an unfortunate situation, but you don’t get that by default when you simply query what exists.

That said, it’s been a veeeery long time since I tried out Plan9 and Inferno.
Probably so that you could also write additional options for connections, the same way you would with setsockopt. Besides, using connection IDs, and thus having a more or less persistent filename for the current connection, makes it easier for several programs to use the same connection.
Hmm, a third of these points are subjective value judgements about the aesthetics of the code.
The problem is, ZFS support on GRUB2 hasn't been great, partly due to CDDL/GPL licensing incompatibility requiring lots of ZFS internals to be re-implemented in GRUB. This resulted in issues such as grub-probe unable to detect ZFS pools due to unsupported ZFS features[1] (including native ZFS encryption, which is a deal-breaker for many)

ZBM took another approach. It provides a small initramfs image that are built on the host machine via standard method such as dracut or mkinitcpio. This image provides an interface for decrypting/mounting ZFS filesystems using the very same ZFS kernel module and tools installed on the host. After the filesystem is mounted, it then kexec'd into the host kernel.

This also means ZBM doesn't completely replaced GRUB2 or syslinux. Instead, it rely on those intermediate bootloader (including EFI bootloader such as rEFId/gummiboot) to load ZBM itself. (Though ZBM itself only has built-in hooks for syslinux and gummiboot).

Being an initramfs give an extra benefit of providing interesting mechanism during boot e.g. providing a SSH server for entering an encryption key on a headless server[2], ability to discover, managing/booting from ZFS snapshots, etc.

How many terawatt-years of electricity can the entirety of accessible uranium reserves produce?

How many terawatt years of non-low-grade-heat energy do we need between now and 2030?

Now that we know that PWRs are irrelevant, can we move on from the constant gaslighting about how 'the next one will he cheaper we swear' or 'it's totally safe if everything goes perfectly always, just ignore the mines'. Or are you just trying to distract from the only thing that can replace the majority of (or even a tiny minority of) fossil fuels?

>"5. Public health requires public trust. Public health recommendations should present facts as the basis for guidance, and never employ fear or shame to sway or manipulate the public.

> definitely not one outlet randomly grounded to a pipe?

That's how it used to be done! Remember a lot of houses were built before electricity and it's been retrofitted over time.
Well, most of Europe stopped having consistent snow, so we can't refer to it like that any more.

I remember when I was a kid come November there was frost on the ground and the soil would gradually freeze and harden, creating the type of environment needed for snow to persist.

Twenty years have passed and it's all gone now. We have droughts in the summer though, for which we're largely unprepared because water retention was never a concern before.

That's climate change for you I guess.
Suppose that everyone who participated ran their own server, population 1.

Then choosing to block other servers would be equivalent to blocking other people, which we agree is a good thing.

Now someone comes up with an adblock list: subscribe to it, and these servers will not bother you. It's probably not perfect, but it improves your experience a lot. If you don't like it, switch to another, or don't subscribe to any.

And now we are back where we started: you can choose to either subscribe to a policy (join an existing server) or be independent.
The lists themselves are not mocking people.

But anyone who is angered by the existence of these lists because someone might not deserve to be on them.... is worth mocking.

Of all the injustices committed by governments and corporations and even some wealthy people, that ranks pretty low.

That people need to share a secret list of powerful members of parliament who have a history of abusing their colleagues isn't what makes you angry?

Major caveat.

> But I have seen laptop chargers with earth/ground, I guess it depends.

All the mac chargers I've had had a grounding pin.

Whether they're actually grounded depends whether you're using the wall-wart adapter or the cable: in europe at least the cable has a grounded plug, the wall wart is just a europlug.
The commenter didn't say it was Twitter's fault, just that this shows its power. That power could be attributable, in part at least, to people's gullibility, mobthink, etc. (Personally I think there is some responsibility on Twitter's part as well - after all, they suddenly made it possible to buy unvetted Blue Checks, when until recently that mark was a sign of confirmed identity.)
Man, that Barney Miller comment was too close to the bone!
>In its bankruptcy petition, FTX Trading said it has $10 billion to $50 billion in assets, $10 billion to $50 billion in liabilities, and more than 100,000 creditors.

Seriously?

Can such large ranges be filed as company economical data?

I understand that both assets and debts values may be approximated in first instance, but 10 to 50 sounds more like "we have no idea of what we have and what we owe".

For me was Midtown Madness 2, I used to climb the highest buildind in San Francisco with each vehicle and see how many fall it takes to wreck them.
Yes, winter hasn't started here yet (except meteorological winter in some northern places.) They mean fall. It has been an exceptionally warm fall though, so much so that we haven't even had to turn on our heaters. So the argument is still sound.
I think this is a bit of a small-scale conway's law-style effect. You shield your ability to reason about the code from the complexity of the code of others by abstracting around it, thus increasing the total complexity with an ad-hoc abstraction layer.
In Go world, most libraries and frameworks come with documentation like that. I so miss being a Python dev

Yes, though this could have been achieved with a bunch of sysfs-like entries under /net/tcp/127.0.0.1/80/<port>/ with the added benefit of being easily discoverable.

A reasonable semantics here would be to only list hosts to which there are active connections.
I’m a producer/composer and I cannot recommend enough bouncing as you make iterations. It really helps get used to the music out of the context of the DAW. I’ve found it one of the key improvements I’ve made to my flow. I store everything in Dropbox so when I’m on my work laptop, say, I can go to the various bounce folders in each project folder (use Ableton and yeah, save WIP bounces with the project) and just listen to the tracks as they are. It’s super revealing.

> Eli Lilly’s insulin products sold $878 million in one quarter alone recently. Again lilly’s main insulin is at 43-60x price markup! It’s almost all profit!

> Lilly, Novo & Sanofi together supply 100% of all insulin in the US, and 90% of entire world!

All the other details aside, this doesn't feel okay and I cannot believe that elected officials voted against legislation to prevent this sort of a markup situation. Whatever happened to them needing to represent the interests of the people?
The reality is that the technology being “neutral” or not is irrelevant. It’s how the technology is used that matters.
1. Because everyone touts "avoiding government regulations" - what most of us call "crime" - as one of crypto's primary reasons.

2. Because there are so many scams in the field.

3. Because crypto people have this unattractive combination of acting superior to others while literally never having read about or even thought deeply about economics.

4. Because after 13 years, not one Web3 project has emerged that has any value outside cryptocurrencies.

5. Because blockchains are wildly consumptive of the world's resources, right when we see the devastation of our biosphere roaring down on us.

At the end of the day, you answer to the bottom line. If you can achieve what is needed of your program (i.e., the business requirements) with less code, it seems you're less likely to have as many bugs - the point of the article.

From all accounts this situation has moved far quicker than anyone expected.

There's tweets that say that CZ wasn't trying to tank FTX with his "I'm selling FTT" announcement but rather just wanted to fire a shot across the bow. And we should believe him when he says that this isn't good for him or the industry - because it really isn't.

And so in this case you have a few days to make a simple binary decision. Do you steal a few hundred million, bail to some country and hope you can live the next 50+ years without being extradited or risk staying in the US, being poor and spending the next 20+ years in jail.

Many people would happily roll the dice and pick the former option.
I need a name for the cognitive distortion where someone says "X is bad" for valid reasons and then jumps immediately on a much worse solution.

> I know lots of people making 6-figures who would be in trouble inside of a month.

Here in Latvia, I make around 36k EUR annually (25k EUR after taxes) and I still have savings to last me around 4 years without any income, if need be (with passable quality of life, accounting for some inflation). Usually I save/invest around 50% of my paycheck each month.

At the same time, I know of some people here personally who are in similar careers, but essentially live paycheck to paycheck.

It's pretty curious to see how the circumstances of various people differ, both within the same country and globally. If I earned a US salary remotely, I'd pretty much be set for life within a decade or two, a bit like the FIRE sub-culture (assuming no large scale monetary crashes, but maybe some recessions).
I Bonds are an exception since everyone is capped at $10K and the rate changes quarterly based on inflation. BlockFi and other DeFi platforms were offering 8%, but had a minimum balance needed ($100K in most cases).
"I suspect ... are probably somewhat okay ..."

This is not an argument against what he said.
I mean .. yes, but easy multiple-value-return unpacking is also a fairly new feature. Back in the 90s you had one (1) lvalue. Making the "return (thing, error)" pattern miserable to use.
TL;DR: the key is to realise that you wouldn't be denying them a revenue stream. You would help them improve it. Look at it from a broader perspective.

If you say "You've projected so-and-so much revenue from this feature. Our projection is that it's implementation will cost this, future maintenance that, and it will introduce bugs which will lose you this much revenue and cost this much to fix. We propose you change the spec this and that way, and you will get out of most of the drawbacks while still retaining most of the benefit"

any sane business would not go "shut up and go home" but rather engage "okay, but what about sub-requirement xyz -- did you consider that in detail?" and from there on you can create something amazeballs together.
