The free speech absolutism isn't very strong in this one.
Twitter was already the go-to place for real-time news like you mention, and yet it's pretty much always been unprofitable. In his first week running Twitter, his big idea for monetization failed because he apparently was unaware people are willing to lie on the internet. If he knows how to run the company better than the people before him, he's doing a good job hiding it.
This was never in question. What was being debated was "Can we coerce people to inject something into their body if they want to continue to have normal day-to-day interactions with their community.

We live with a social contract. The entirety of the state is build on mutual trust. There are avenues to people who are willing to put their neighbors at serious risk because they don't want to inject something, and that's fine.

Basement is conditioned, and the air handler and the duct with condensation are in the conditioned space. Most of the duct work is out of sight so I can't say if it's got insulation, but right by the air handler, it's just sheet metal, no insulation. It's not properly designed, or built... but it's there. Mostly it works ok, just gotta have a separate dehumidifier near the air handler to keep things under control... fixing the zoning helped a bit too.

The most complex thing perhaps is to configure the storage encryption with LUKS or similar. You get that for free in the cloud if you don’t care about letting your cloud provider play with your private keys.

Certainly something should be done to reduce reflectivity, but so many of these pieces about the impact on astronomers are missing the longer view. The sky is going to get more and more crowded as we expand into space, and while terrestrial observatories are amazing, the future of space observation and exploration is, after all, in space.

It's the destiny of the night sky to be filled with our spacecraft. This will surely impact terrestrial astronomy, but a falcon heavy costs $97 million, and would enable detection of threats we'd be otherwise blind to if we stuck to terrestrial observations.
Great article. It shows how fluid the topics defined as the subject of philosophy are. Space, time, motion and the influence of god on the workings of nature were considered philosophical topics. Natural philosophers viewed nature more wholistically than physicists who inherited these topics and study them with the defined units of physics.

It's a fantastic opportunity to think and blow some air

I've developed disdain for the hordes of disgusting fucks who never get off their cars because I have to live in the hell their laziness have created. Bad air, excess noise, lots of space taken. All this because they have to drive. The vast majority of cars is clearly not needed. Merely wanted
I mean the famous example is of course,

(define (eval exp env)
(cond ((number? exp) exp)
((string? exp) exp)
((symbol? exp) (lookup exp env)
((eq? (car exp) 'quote) (cadr exp))
((eq? (car exp) 'lambda)
(list 'closure (cdr exp) env))
((eq? (car exp) 'cond) (eval-cond (cdr exp))
(else (apply
(eval (car exp) env)
(eval-list (cdr exp) env)))))

which uses a Lisp to define itself. This means roughly that if you understand enough Lisp to understand this program (and the little recursive offshoots like eval-cond), there is nothing else that you have to learn about Lisp. You officially have read the whole language reference and it is all down to libraries after that. Compare e.g. with trying to write Rust in Rust where I don't think it could be such a short program, so it takes years to feel like you fully understand Rust.

Indirectly this also means that lisps are very close at hand for “I want to add a scripting language onto this thing but I don't want to, say, embed the whole Lua interpreter” and it allows you to store user programs in a JSON column, say. You also can adapt this to serialize environments so that you can send a read-only lexical closure from computer to computer, plenty of situations like that.

Aside from the most famous, you have things like this:

1. The heart of logic programming is also only about 50 lines of Scheme if you want to read that:

2. Hygienic macros in Rust probably owe their existence to their appearance in Lisps.

C2 asks the same question here: https://wiki.c2.com/?LispShowOffExamples with answers like

3. The object model available in Common Lisp was more powerful than languages like Java/C++ because it had to fit into Lisp terms (“the art of the metaobject protocol” was the 1991 book that explained the more powerful substructure lurking underneath this object system), so a CL programmer could maybe use it to write a quick sort of aspect-oriented programming that would match your needs.

4. Over there a link shows how in 16 LOC you can implement a new domain-specific language to define and run finite state machines: http://www.findinglisp.com/blog/2004/06/automaton-cleanup.ht...
Ten years ago, VS already had the "Edit and Continue" feature. But it's not very good compared to what you get in a Lisp environment. It's slow, there are restrictions on where/when it can be used, and it's possible for the edit operation to fail.
A lot of people might not want to admit or accept it, but the primary source of human advancements has been conflicts with wars being the penultimate example.

Don't believe it? Look no further than humans landing on the Moon, a feat that was literally just another front of the Cold War. We literally landed men on the Moon in the name of winning wars. Still don't believe it? Consider the internet, originally devised as a communications network to fucking survive nuclear wars.

Let's be clear: Conflicts are bad, wars are unacceptable. But peace has always led to stagnation. Innovations require competition, and there is no better than competition than literally killing your fellow man.
Every phrase was fascinating and revealing:

1. "I'm not an expert on traditional finance"

Clearly.

2. "it's a lot more boring"

So I knew this guy who used to game the customs at New Delhi airport. Back in the day he would fly over to Singapore, buy some expensive electronics, and try to get it past customs without paying duty - he was a "mule."

There was one particular customs agent who knew this guy and would catch him. The mule would pick flights during that agent's shift - told me that it was boring otherwise.

These kids were getting a kick out of risky trades.

3. "conservative enough that it's very unlikely for you to actually lose all your money."

This tells me they knew what they were up to and they didn't really care - it was part of the game.

The whole saga is fascinating. Can't wait for the book/movie combo to come out.

ok. that looks nice but.... you need to be on icloud+, which limits who can use this.... does cloudflare have an api so that someone like mailinabox could add that to the install script and do all this? or like for mastodon who wants to give users this same functionality? it could be tied to your cloudflare account so you could migrate from one provider or the next?
I take about half of my direct reports for 1:1 outside when I can. Seattle winters sometimes makes that pretty tough, of course...
Even with that most big providers (looking at Outlook) still use IP reputation. Some popular email blacklist providers will list entire /24s if they receive enough abuse complaints so you generally need a high quality provider that takes abuse seriously to prevent getting caught up with a bad neighbor or your own IP block.

After using the same Digital Ocean IP for 8 years, I got unlucky and their /24 block got listed on spamhaus (or mailcop, or similar) and major providers (Outlook and Gmail) stopped accepting messages from my server.

It works great until it doesn't
No, that's the opposite of what I'm saying.
>There's nothing existential wrong with Twitter.

Elon is removing all the moderation, so it's going to become infested with trolls and bots quickly. It'll be just like email, but without the spam filtering. On top of that, advertisers are pulling out, so it's going to run out of money and implode. The future of this company does not look good.

>Twitter has first-mover advantage. Mastodon is still a tiny thing.

Go back in time over a decade and you can say the same thing about Digg and Reddit. Where is Digg now?

>DKIM and SPF were done. They're widely supported and work as designed.

No one actually uses them or requires them for email.

>Isn't this supposed to be the benefits of centralization I keep hearing about? There are only a couple of parties you have to convince in practice to get something changed?

No, not really. With centralized services, you get stuff like MySpace and Digg. Then, when things fall apart, they implode, and everyone leaves to alternatives like Facebook and Reddit. No one actually fixes problems; it's just like empires: they rise, enjoy supremacy for a while, then fall apart. No one fixes the problems they have, they just get worse and worse and eventually implode, and later something else rises up in its place.

>What good is switching to a known-broken technology?

Don't ask me, ask the Twitter exodus. I don't use Twitter, just like I was never a Digg or MySpace user. The people who value this stuff aren't going to think the way you do. They'll all flock to some new hot thing, which right now appears to be Mastodon (though it's too early to tell if it'll really catch on).

>and in the meantime build it.

Who? Who's going to build it? Don't look at me; I don't really care about this stuff and am certainly not going to invest my time in it. It seems unlikely that some company is going to build a federated social network to replace Mastodon (which volunteers already built, over the course of many years), though they might make a Twitter clone.
I walk 20km/day and do a 90min cardio/weights workout. No rest days. All comes down to conditioning and your baseline.
> All of this was true pre-ACA, but worse (in my family's case, much worse; we went bankrupt over $90k in medical bills back in the 2000s). As it was, the thing barely passed.

Sorry to hear that.

One of the massive negative side-effects of ACA will come to the national forefront in a few years. We now have tens of millions of people enrolled in Medicaid. What most don't understand is that, after 55 years of age, this isn't insurance at all, it's a loan you are required, by law, to repay.

Don't take it from me, here's a summary directly from the Medicaid website:

https://www.medicaid.gov/medicaid/eligibility/estate-recover...

I looked into this a while back. The State can place liens on your estate and your children could be stuck with a bill because of that. For example, if you have a home it is very likely that 100% of the value of your home will be consumed by your healthcare bills if you needed what I am going to call a normal level of care for that age group from 55 onwards.

In other words:

People were told they they were getting health insurance through Obamacare. In reality, they agreed to receive a credit card using their estate as collateral. If this isn't fraud, I just don't know what is.

Obamacare might just be the largest private-property grab by any government in the history of this nation, if not humanity. I wonder how many people actually understand they will not be able to leave anything to their children. Or worse, leave them a huge bill owed to the State.

These are the things that really rattle me: Politicians selling pushing programs in the most dishonest ways possible. How many people would have supported ACA had they were told they would have to sign-over their estate to pay for their after-55 medical bills? Very few, if any.

What really sucks about this is it affects the low to middle class portion of the population in a disproportionate manner. They are the ones who end-up on a Medicaid plan, not people who can afford to pay for something else. Once again, politicians claim to be for the little guy and, instead, they royally shaft them every time they are able to. All they care about is their votes.
Two dictators' totalitarian despotries slugging it out while the US and Britain mostly watch, and chip in materiel when the marginally preferred one runs low; and then move in to mop up before western Europe gets engulfed by the winner, leaving eastern Europe to suffer under them for another almost 50 years.

Promoting industrial production is a way of taking away credit from the millions of soldiers who actually went and died using it.

The US did do a fair bit of naval work in the second half. And Russia was always openly appreciative of the Hormel SPAM.
It's a highly personal question dependent on interests, location, and what your role is.

Don't join a company out of FOMO or skyrocketing valuations just because they have a skyrocketing valuation. A good place to be is a place you get to enjoy going to each day that provides you with enough money for the lifestyle you want. It's not a one-size-fits-all.

What are you naturally curious about?
We all know how that ended. /s
One of the questions my friends and I have made mostly standard for tangible things is “can you buy it at Target”. Not all tangible things can be bought, and not all things that can ge bought are for sale at Target, but it’s a broad enough set that it’s proven to be reasonably effective. Plus, none of us own breadboxes.
> Early on, the goal was to reach herd immunity while we still had vaccines that were fairly effective at reducing transmission against the variants we had had, before they mutated.

The mRNA vaccines weren't even tested for transmission during the early trials. It was impossible to make educated statements about reaching herd immunity through mass vaccination without any data. This did not stop people from introducing mandates in some places, even after it became clear that herd immunity will not be reached, which goes a little beyond bad communication.

Am I the only one who read the title of this post and had the knee-jerk reaction of "good"?

The articles point seems to have its flaws and maybe the main point is that mastodon will be ruined not saved from ruin by the scaling problems being outlined though so :shrug-emoji: I just wanted to note that initial reaction / feeling.
At some level, these big name funds also deserve some portion of the blame. A lot of people implicitly trusted FTX because of its backers. Even when the first signs of FTX imploding emerged, some people chose to stick with it because “Blackrock, Softbank and Sequoia can’t be that wrong”.

Little did they know that the due diligence process for Sequoia wasn’t any better than any random no-name fund.

Seriously? We used to have comptuters with just 48KB RAM and created great software for it. Now, we have mobile apps like Facebook, which is over 2GB in size, and they are just a gigafat client of a server app!!! Mastodon is just like that - slow, wasteful, not scalable! And what's the worst is that people are getting hopeful about it not remembering how Ruby tanked Twitter back then! Doesn't anyone remember the Fail Whale?!

I do not follow crypto and think the proselytizers are a bit crazy.

In my mind I wanted a small amount of crypto exposure.

But post this stupidness, 5-6% or whatever interest does not correlate with what the actual risk seemed to be in my mind.

well rated corporate bonds are approaching that now. I was just googling examples I think big name corporates are sitting like 5.3%

so in my mind 5-6% was not a big bright ponzi warning sign, especially since they stopped taking new deposits to 'go legit.'

Like afaik there are big brand name corps that are b level rated that have coupons that or higher.

and would be shocking if they all went bust in the same week.

There are probably places where a NPP is the best and cheapest choice to reduce emissions and worth the downsides, but not many and forcing them into places with excellent renewable resources is idiotic.

Unless and until the budget and plans for around 5TW net of renewables is allocated, then starting any new nuclear is just a way of delaying the death of fossil fuels.

Are we now giving bureaucrats as a positive example? I see so many people running closed servers with just a couple of accounts of it, which is another failure of Mastodon - not easily allowing people to use their own domains as identities instead of having to run a whole new server, which is a total waste, and not helping the ecosystem!

And yes, that doesn't let me study the mugs themselves in any useful way, since I'm not interested in which mugs are members of which other mugs - but it does let me play around with sets of beer mugs and get comfortable with set theory. And it makes it feel like a simple theory if the entities it studies are just opaque "things".
