Depends where you look. Solend and Uniswap have different risks, to use comparison AAPL and some new hot unknown tech stock have different risks. Uniswap does not have code to pause withdrawals, does not have a DAO or governance structure to change the contract.

Risk profile in Uniswap and established DeFi protocol is more transparent than FTX. You cannot verify and audit a CEX, you have to trust they are doing things right, or trust the third parties who audit them. If you are skeptical of Binance or Tether audits then you understand the want for open source DeFi.
As someone that does not own a phone I have had to explain I cannot install apps many times. Normally when I bring up the word discrimination, they always find a backup path they do not advertise.

> On the one hand Twitter's CEO with relevant domain expertise making...

The CEO of Twitter seems to have very little relevant domain expertise though. He mixed up all the async services and the Android client making many requests, and then fired the people who pointed out that it was silly to do so... After Elon asked them...

Aside from that, Twitter isn't actually a tech company. It's sort of weird from an European perspective that you guys call companies like Google, Twitter and Facebook tech companies. Sure they rely on tech, they create a lot of the tech all of use, but at their core they are advertisement companies. Considering Elon Musk has managed to drive basically all his customers away in a couple of weeks, or at least earn the "High Risk" mark, seems to suggest to me that he has absolutely no domain expertise in the field of advertisement.

Before all this nonsense Twitter had around half a million verified accounts. If all those accounts agreed to pay $8 a month, that would be $48 million a year. Twitter had a 4.5 billion advertisement revenue in 2021.

I'm personally a huge fan of the downfall of centralised social media. I really, really hope federated services like Mastodon take over. In my view, the world would be a much better place if organisations like the New York Times, the European Parliament and so on, operated their own "Twitter" servers and then had everything link up through the Fediverse to give users the "Twitter" experience, because it would put the ownership of the internet back in the hands of important institutions and organisations rather than American advertisement companies, and if Elon helps the world get there, then that's awesome.

Even if it's not what he wanted. But then that's sort of the thing with Elon isn't it?

I'm fairly certain that the EU wouldn't be on a path to ban the sale of new fossil fuel cars by 2030 without Tesla and Elons vision. Unfortunately for Elon, almost none of the EVs sold around here these days are Teslas. Great vision, shit delivery. You can say the same about PayPal, which I'm sure is still big in the English speaking world, but is basically non-existent compared to Apple or Google pay everywhere else.

This is also why I wish Elon would get some help. Because the visions have made the world better, and if he could just focus on actually seeing those visions through, then he might actually get to colonise mars.
As a user of several internal websites written as microservices I can also say they are a mistake. You keep having to hit [Shift]+reload to get an accurate view of the current state. Each page takes ages to update. They break far more frequently than regular sites.

Of course an internal website with probably at most 1000 users should never have been written using microservices in the first place.
Yes, I was not informed about it. But I think that's fair. I didn't ask them either before I published the project. Please, don't make it a license issue. I developed it for fun.

It’s often claimed how there is no night sky for anyone anywhere near a city these days, so if you prefer to live in one (or believe that is the ultimately sustainable choice to reduce humanity’s environmental footprint) you couldn’t care less about all those satellites flying overhead.

Speaking from experience, that is not true. On a clear moonless night a few months before COVID I saw uncountable stars when I looked up from a rooftop in a moderately busy part of Kowloon of all places. (Sure, I might’ve mistaken a few satellites for celestial bodies, but I made an effort to ignore at least the non-geostationary ones.)

If you cannot see night sky in your city, consider that your AQI may be too high at the moment. (Going up to the roof wouldn’t hurt either.) It doesn’t mean you couldn’t enjoy stars where you live ever again.

> some sites only take PayPal

Wow, really? Never have actually encountered a site like that. So I can only assume it's rare enough such that it wouldn't be much of a hassle to just refuse to do purchase things from those websites.
Maybe its because of too short notice and legally you have to inform your customers x months head?

I don't know, but curious to know. Because I am in that situation.

I do not own a cell phone and have attended many Ticketmaster events in recent years. If you explain you do not have a compatible device, and sometimes use the word discrimination, they will take a credit card by phone and have paper tickets waiting for you at the box office. It annoys them, but not my problem. Prepaid credit cards are recommended for privacy.
Somebody help me understand the conclusion of this article. They say that the body was regularly exposed to the air and somehow the current theory of climate change is responsible for it this time? The wording seems disingenuous to me even if technically correct.
Yes and that's the whole point!

The borrow checker ensures that you either do it right or you find another way that is safe.

For example it may be totally fine to help allocate a result, not all programs need to be optimized to the bone. Just return a boxed value. If you need to share it, wrap it in an Rc or Arc.

One problem I see with it is that rust chooses to make the most efficient way of programming also the most "simple looking", and so it lines up incentives in such a way that people will unnecessarily try to avoid using an extra Arc just because it looks like unnecessary clutter.

When you learn to embrace your boxing you'll learn that the borrow checker is not your enemy.
The era of these type of "simple" OSes has come to an end. Linux is now the king of hardware support and nothing out there can even try to compete, not even Windows. And "consumer" hardware support is getting harder and harder; we did not really improve the situation at all from the 90s. Linux drivers, while some of them are not proprietary (before you ask: Android drivers are mostly proprietary), are still inseparably linked to Linux itself, which means that for any non-Linux OS to succeed you first have to reimplement Linux.

There is multiple answers here, for me they fall into two broad categories: advice in how to deal with yourself and advice on how to deal with this as an society

If you have multiple years of savings and still feel anxiety, you might consider that this could have to do more with your own character, psyche and situation than with actual real risks, especially if you are working in a sector where people of your skill are always sought after.

The other answer would be worker rights — so either live somewhere where they exist or start fixing them by joining an union. As someone living in a country with universal healthcare, decent worker rights and social services I don't have to be that afraid of what happens when my boss decides to hand me my 3 months notice (including a valid cititation of what I did wrong) or if they don't prolong my 4 year contract. They also cannot throw me out if I have an accident and cannot come for half a year. I also won't pay a penny in health care costs when that happens because universal healthcare.

Having a solidaric environment directly translates into ease of mind. I am still a (too) hard working person and I earn well, but I don't have to worry about certain things and I like to work in an environment where others don't have to worry either.

So fix yourself and/or fix the world

By not missing on the core feature? The MVP for this was not taking payments and putting a sign, it was having an actual verification, no matter how basic.

I also don't understand how it got to this bondoggle. I always imagined it was going to use the payment for verification: you can get a blue mark for John Smith only if you pay with a card belonging to John Smith. That can be automated in 2 weeks, no problem. And then add more complex verification procedures for companies, brands and non-name accounts.

I'm also reserving some probability mass for "we didn't get the whole story". Something like 25% that was an already verified account or something like that.

Testcontainers: Testing with Real Dependencies
They're not inherently "bad" or "good" it's just one layer of abstraction I personally don't need. I like dealing with just one big global money state variable for personal finance.

What made me switch was one day I had to come up with a deposit for a new apartment with a couple of room mates. Two days before I went to get a cashiers cheque my credit card auto-paid itself and I had significantly less cash than I thought and couldn't cover the deposit. I felt embarrassed and stupid. Should I have checked better? For sure. Now I _always_ check because the money _always_ comes out of the same account. If I'm cash short one day and want to buy something... I just wait a few days.

I also make 90% of my purchases via cash day to day. Every Sunday I take out a chunk of cash and use that for coffee/beer/taking my girlfriend out to eat etc. Part of it is because I live in Taiwan and it's still very a much a cash based society (e.g. they'll take _cash on delivery_ for most things too).

I'm not particularly frugal. I order Uber Eats all the time, I have a personal trainer at a nice gym nearby, I go to nice restaurants with my girlfriend, I'll buy a round of drinks for friends at the bar, etc. But for me, there's definitely something to looking at my wallet, not seeing as much cash as I thought, and thinking "On second thought, I went out two nights in a row, I don't need to go out again."

I don't ever take out personal loans on anything either. Including car loans, those have always been cash. I'm not opposed to taking out a mortgage in the future, but I do like the idea of buying a house all out in cash and not having to owe a single person anything.
I don't really know the scope of easter eggs, is the whole team supposed to know about them or just the few programmers that introduced them? Maybe they didn't want to spoil the surprise (?)

Oh god! I had that nearly happen to me once. Absolutely terrifying.
There are studies and documentation about trans healthcare dating back further than Nazi Germany (medical research on trans people were one of the first books to be burned by the Nazis).

While there is always a risk when having to take drugs for anything, the outcome compared to trans individuals who were force to go through puberty out-weight this risk.

Are there even that many businesses that only let you pay via PayPal? I don't think I've ever encountered one. I use PayPal often enough for convenience (and to avoid giving out my CC number for a one-off purchase from a new website), but I don't think I'd be too bothered if I had to close my PayPal account. And yeah, if I ran into a website that only accepted PayPal, and didn't have an account, I'd just move on and buy somewhere else.
> Not sure if smartphones will last 10 years. ... They are just not made for 10 years usage.

I'm fairly certain that some phone models out there are probably better in this regard, especially if you can swap out the battery, the components are of decent quality and they're built in a rugged way. Also, somehow the idea of repairing your phone has gone out of the window, since you can just buy a new one.

> Your laptop may be good, but it will probably only support some ancient insecure slow WiFi profiles.

For many, slow Wi-Fi is acceptable. Same with a dated and slow CPU/RAM, which many will still consider better than their devices becoming e-waste. If the OS wasn't so locked down, many would enjoy having a stand-in for a Raspberry Pi for all I care, since the small form factor of a phone would lend itself nicely to DIY hacking, especially because of included camera and networking. Even if the hardware is lacking, that doesn't mean that we shouldn't or couldn't support the software for longer amounts of time.

Your point about the hardware itself and what it supports becoming insecure is a good one, but there's no guarantee that the amount of time for something like that to happen would be much shorter than any improved OS EOL period. Of course, if it's some non-critical functionality that's insecure, it might as well be turned off in software, like older versions of TLS in web servers.

> Distributions start to drop old hardware. And there are always new CPU and other chip security bugs discovered, how do you get fixes for that into your system?

We could cross that bridge when we actually get to it, and try to figure out the things that are easier to do first and foremost: notably software support. If something like Ubuntu LTS has an EOL of 5 years and AlmaLinux has security updates for 10, I don't see why Android versions should be any different, unless governed by a profit oriented corporation.

Aside from that, it's surprising that 3G can just be tossed away like that on a national level, since the amounts of e-waste this would generate is kind of staggering, even more odd is the fact that in many places 2G is still in operation. I guess at least that is a bit of a silver lining, if the claims were to be true (citation is needed, but it sounds like a sane argument): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3G#Decline_and_decommissions

> Technology that depends on 3G for usage will soon become inoperable in many places. For example, the European Union plans to ensure that member countries maintain 2G networks as a fallback[citation needed], so 3G devices that are backwards compatible with 2G frequencies can continue to be used.
Can you even call something intangible an everyday object?
The text is not 100% clear to me (partly because it is a bogus proof), but you seem to redefine the arithmetic operators as

i ‘+’ j := i + √j
i ‘-‘ j := i - √j
i ‘×’ j := i + j
i ‘÷’ j := i - j

That completely changes the structure of the ‘integers’. Essential properties such as

i + j = j + i
(i + j) + k = i + (j + k)
i + i = 2 × i

no longer hold, so you can’t use the usual rules of arithmetic. For example, the PDF does

‘3’ × X ‘+’ ‘4’ = (‘3’ × X) ‘+’ ‘4’ = (‘3’ + X) + ‘4’ = (‘3’ + X) + ‘√4’

and then uses the rule

(‘3’ + X) + ‘√4’ = (X + ‘3’) + ‘√4’

but that rule doesn’t hold in the alternative arithmetic.

Also, ‘even’ and ‘odd’ are completely different from the traditional even and odd.

Fo example, for any even ‘n’, we have

‘n’ ÷ ‘2’ = n - 2

so division by two of an ‘even’ ‘number’ always keeps the number ‘even’, and for starting point ‘4’, we get an infinite sequence ‘2’, ‘0’, ‘-2’, etc. (also a direct counterexample to the claim that you always end up at ‘1’)

That’s a bit of a thought terminating clique, imo.

If the only consequence for saying something reasonable but contentious is unpopularity then you have free speech, but if you can be punished (banned from a public platform, or fired from a job) then you don’t.

Freedom doesn’t mean “the right to” (that’s “liberty”) - freedom has to be “effectively exercisable”, and that requires limitation on any unjust consequences.

I'm pretty sure this is the same in Europe, or at least in France. Even if I wanted to buy a local make, say a Renault, I don't know how I'd go about getting in touch with the manufacturer directly instead of going through a dealership.

Now I've never actually bought a new car, only motorcycles. And even though it's the same process (I don't think I can order a Honda nor a BMW "direct"), the dealerships didn't try to make me buy useless options.

> But maybe even more importantly, especially if you want to be selfish about it, we need to remember and be uncomfortable so that we're part of avoiding the next conflcit from starting.

I agree with some of your points, but not this. Personally I don't have any need to have a background level of discomfort in order to stop the next conflict. This one was started by a deluded megalomaniac who did not consult me (or my country for that matter) before he invaded a neighbor and placed us all at risk of WW3. I'm sure the next one will likewise start without my input and against my wishes.
Agree. One punch test is nothing compared to the 20 - 30 times you might take one to the face (sometimes intentionally) in a single bout. Absolutely do not want that thing failing.
Yeah, a lot should be coordinated at EU level to stop this practice. For example, if one country finds illegal trash trying to be imported at its borders, then the country of origin should bare part of the environmental fine in order to encourage self policing and environmental responsibility at the source instead of putting all the burden of policing at the poorer target countries since as it stands right now, western EU countries "get greener" by pushing their trash to Romania, and then scold Romania at the European Commission for being too polluted lol.

However, here's a major issue I found in the link you shared (translated to English via DeepL):

"The landfill in Glina [Bucharest, Romania] is a health hazard for citizens and the European Commission recognized this a few years ago. According to the law, landfills must be at least 1000 meters away from people's homes, but the one in Glina is only 70 meters away. The National Environmental Guard has never thoroughly checked the entire area, and there is evidence that hazardous waste may also be hidden there. Underneath the mountains of rubbish that have risen up near Bucharest no one knows what is really hidden and how much damage is being done to the land in that area.

In 2017, environmentalists warned that there was even cyanide pollution at Glina that could reach Bucharest. Prosecutors also opened an investigation after it was discovered that a Romanian company was discharging cyanide waste at the Glina dump, but these cases never reached final decisions because the trials were far too long, bogged down in courtroom proceedings and the facts were time-barred."

The problems I see here are two fold:

One, the Romanian authorities can't be bothered to police what's happening meters away from the capital city, where all the government institutions and politicians are.

And two, it seems like whenever something foul gets uncovered, the Romanian justice system is so incompetent, that nothing happens in the end and the perpetrators get away scot free on technical failures of the system, which only serves to attract and encourage further criminal activity of this nature.

This is a systemic failure on the Romanian side of epic proportions and needs to be addressed ASAP.
This is kind of surprising, I am a Palauan, and people from what anthropologists know settled Palau from Southeast Asia around 1000 BC, so I sort of assumed the pacific was settled well before the common era.
