I think of it as a general democratic problem: finding an expert, unbiased, uncorruptible person for below market rate.

If we had an infinite supply of those, democratic staffing would be a solved problem.

But we don't, and every other solution involves trade-offs.

Do you increase the risk of corruption in exchange for increased expertise, by sourcing staff from industry?

Or do you decrease the risk of corruption at the expense of less expertise, by banning pre/current/post industry exposure?

The judiciary option boils down to a punt, by creating an alternative profession vertical (judicial) that someone can live and progress in... to shield them from influence while making decisions in other areas. But then you have the appointment problem, especially vis lifetime appointments.

The "interested parties" Supreme Court model seems the best way to split the difference to me, where technical experts can offer technical arguments, without having any ability to judge. But that presupposes the judge can understand the points being made.
Hope they feel good about propping this whole scam up a bunch.
Oil (and gas) are specific cases, not relatable to gold...

The point with oil is its extraction can't be stoped overnight, and thus has to be stored in case of excessive production, which has itself a cost.

Demand droped significantly when the lockdown occured ; storage facilities where saturated ; and oil was kept in oil tankers which are pretty expensive.

The negative price reflected the cost of storage.

There is no such issue with gold.
Purely as a standalone apple, the Granny Smith does NOT (in most opinions, it seems) hold its own against other apples. A 1v1 challenge against some of the more popular apples seemingly places the GS as the loser.

However, you mentioned the pairing and combinational use of the GS, which is where it shines. Granny Smith is meant to be dipped, diced, baked, smothered, cheesed, etc. The GS goes way up in rankings, when you pair it with other foods.

I think that's why GS is low on the rankings. It's probably getting a bit harsh of a review on that site, I grant you, but again I don't think it holds up as a standalone apple quite the same as others.
This is the “you should finish your plate, there are children starving in __” argument just stated differently. Red delicious apples suck and if we dropped into a depression where that was my only option that isn’t going to suddenly make them taste good and I’ll complain the whole time eating them.
>>did people suddenly come to this realization?

Yes I think the American government was somewhat surprised by the fact that another country can run such an effective media machine within their own country and it took a really long time to react to this. It's as if they woke up one day to discover that most Americans watch Al Jazeera as their main news source instead of a domestic channel that can be controlled or influenced more easily.

CEO in Charge of FTX Restructuring Calls It an ‘Unprecedented’ Mess
Sorry for the dumb question. How would I personally use this type of database?
Where do they say he's a great guy? The article is quite factual, citing his words and actions and providing context without injecting much in terms of emotion.

He also hasn't been charged with any crimes yet.

The NYT interview confirmed nothing. People who argue that the NYT piece confirmed anything simply do not understand journalism. That was an interview-based piece that gave SBF a lot of room to talk. The *same* reporter published this piece today, based on Ray's court filing:

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/17/business/ftx-bankruptcy.h...

And I quote:

> "John Jay Ray III helped manage the aftermath of some of the largest corporate failures in history, including the implosion of the energy trading firm Enron after an accounting fraud scandal in 2001.

> But the corporate dysfunction at FTX, the collapsed cryptocurrency exchange that he took over last week, is the worst he has ever seen.

> In a blistering court filing on Thursday, Mr. Ray described an astonishing level of disarray and said he had never seen “such a complete failure of corporate control.” He listed a series of “unacceptable management practices,” including the use of an unsecured group email to access sensitive data, and said the financial information maintained by FTX was deeply untrustworthy.

> “From compromised systems integrity and faulty regulatory oversight abroad, to the concentration of control in the hands of a very small group of inexperienced, unsophisticated and potentially compromised individuals, this situation is unprecedented,” he wrote in the filing in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware."

The evidence against SBF is damning. The NYT will continue to report that. You can cherrypick their pieces if you want to.

But what you should be doing is looking at the 10,000 ways that crypto made SBF and FTX what they were, through your credulity and greed. The NYT had nothing to do with that.
The 100 is an exaggeration, but splitting the Bell System was still done rather stupidly as the status quo of them slowly being defanged in their grip over customers (eg long distance fees, answering machines, third party phones) while they still invested ungodly amounts of money into the US infrastructure would've probably served us better in the internet age than smashing the thing apart until they all just bought each other again. We'd probably actually have nationwide FTTH at this point.
That's fair. I'd feel pretty uncomfortable on most bikes at 25mph, but I've happily gone 18 without stress on an empty road on a clear day. I think most people who don't have a lot of experience should stick to 10-12 and work their way up, much like learning to pilot anything.

Safe braking distance depends on how much you weigh, the quality of your gear, and the road. I'm 6'4" and weigh 50 more pounds than I did as a scraggly youth when I did faster speeds, so unless I'm on equipment I trust very well I wouldn't often go over 15, I think... for me, most bikes don't brake well enough, and some aren't balanced well for my height.

There is no 'past' to return to if you could reverse the arrow of time. I don't think the universe has frames like a video that you can rewind to. Interactions are probabilistic with time going forwards and they would still be probabilistic were time inverted.

I disagree, there's no real relationship between 'content addressable' source code and distributed computing.

Also I don't think that you need to create a new language to have 'content addressable' source code distribution..

Creating yet another language ensure that this will get nowhere, too bad.
I think you need to try it if you want to understand how it can be useful. I also tend to write as little code as possible. Since I started using Copilot, I don't write more code nor less code. I write the exact same code I would have written without Copilot, I'm just 25% more productive with it.

The fact that you characterize someone building an abuse case against you, and interfering with your normal parental rights, as not your "adversary" really makes me question what you have to prove here. Is this an ego thing? Is this why you're trolling right now?

From the beginning I indicated I would force them to go through the court for the "voluntary" agreement. Your snark "but judges are better?" completely bypassed that, seemingly completely missing the request for the order would never even get to the judge if the adversary CPS never pushed for the order in the first place.

> nor did they bring it to a judge.

Which is why I proposed a scenario where they were forced to if they wanted it to happen. I'm well aware many of my opinions were not expressed in the "information" of the article (oh no!).

>This is like the 5th time you've commented on my stuff

If you check this thread, you initially commented to me on this thread. It was your choice to reply to me unsolicited, although your statement here is a nice attempt to try to turn that on its head.

Cheers and have a good day.
Most of the cost of a book is not the physical pulp or ink that went into making the book, it is in the editing, typesetting, and marketing that went into making the book ready for sale, so ebooks generally should not be much cheaper than physical books.

Are you under the impression he's expected to be out there literally driving a tank?

Flying around the world meeting with government officials and political influencers is precisely what you'd expect someone to do in this scenario. He'll have some staff and a phone on him.
> Tether will keep pretending to be fine until every last real dollar behind it has been drained.

That's how stablecoins work. There are two stable points: 1 and 0. When they break, they go all the way. As soon as the price breaks, there's a rush to exit. We've seen this happen a few times now.

Doesn't help with Apple App Store and Google Play Store, which is how the majority of American consumers conduct their computing.

Deploying software to mobile devices should be the same as desktop computing.

Apple and Google argue their stance is for user privacy and security, but they can still maintain a central catalog of malware and remove bad apps by signature. Permissions flags and controls can work without a store. Apps can be required to report their provenance, which opens up means for manual or automated review.

Google technically allows apk downloads, but they're "scary" and most users don't know how to perform them. This is as good as disallowing open installs outright.

Google and Apple won't ever do this unless the DOJ tells them they must.

I would argue that an antitrust action against these two app stores is essential to remove an undue tax on innovation and to strengthen the market for competition. It's not like money cannot be made on devices and services and that neither company doesn't already have the upper leg on these fronts as well.
Thought this was an Onion article at first... still difficult to believe that the South Koreans would let their economy get so close to the edge like that.

EDIT: Especially since "To prevent the credit market from seizing up completely, the South Korean government stepped in by providing a liquidity facility of more than 50 trillion won (about $35 billion). The Bank of Korea also injected 42.5 trillion won (about $31 billion) to stabilize the short-term bond market, and South Korea’s five largest banks also pledged to provide up to 95 trillion won (about $67 billion) in liquidity."

Wouldn't it have been easier to retract the policy of the local government, sack the local leaders, etc., to rollback the loss of trust?

Especially since S.K. is a unitary country and not federated so local governments have no sovereignty.

Tell that to the vast majority of crypto holders who cannot master the underlying technology of crypto and therefore rely on the exchanges. Crypto is not contiguous with your highly selective, normative definition. Crypto is everything done by everybody buying, selling and building tech for crypto.
If I were the King of the Forest, our routing fabric would utilize something like nginx's ramping weight feature to throttle new servers for a few minutes before they reached full membership in the cluster.

As things are we end up running something more like blue-green deployments and hit the dormant side with a stress testing tool. We haven't really come up with a better solution, though we have steadily reduced both the time necessary to warm up the servers and the worst case behavior if you accidentally skip the warming step. Today you will just have a very bad time. Originally circuits would blow like crazy.
> In Intellij or Visual Studio, syntax suggestion/tab completion are already great. Those technologies - which involve none of the legal risks of Copilot- are a massive step forward in productivity. Copilot does help extend these benefits to other languages that I occasionally dabble in, like Lua and embedded C, though it's clearly better in languages which are better represented in its dataset.

Copilot is so much beyond regular autocomplete that it's playing a completely different game.

I've been using it today while writing a recursive descent parser for a new toy language. I built out the AST in a separate module, and implemented a few productions and tests.

For all subsequent tests, I'm able to name the test and ask Copilot to write it. It will write out a snippet in my custom language, the code to parse that snippet, and construct the AST that my parser should be producing, then assert that my output actually does match. It does this with about 80% accuracy. The result is that writing the tests to verify my parser takes easily 25% of the time that it has when I've done this by hand.

In general, this is where I have found Copilot really shines: tests are important but boring and repetitive and so often don't get written. Copilot has a good enough understanding of your code to accurately produce tests based on the method name. So rather than slogging through copy paste for all the edge cases, you can just give it one example and let it extrapolate from there.

It can even fill in gaps in your test coverage: give it a @Test/#[test] as input and it will frequently invent a test case that covers something that no test above it does.

> How many tens of thousands of innocent people did police kill that year?

You implied tens of thousands of innocent people are killed by police each year. The actual statistics say that police kill around 1000 people a year with no mention of guilt or innocence. Your implication is flat out wrong.

The media perpetuates an idea that police are evil, murderous bastards and everybody should hate them. It is false and dangerous rhetoric. Spreading it in ignorance makes you a "useful idiot". Arm yourself with knowledge. In many cases the media is flat out lying to your face.

Now that it loaded again for me, I can see the /graphql endpoint. Caching GET requests to endpoints for a few minutes (or even just one minute) will likely suffice, given that the puzzle is the same for all users. If I am not overlooking anything, stats will lag behind for that period of time in the worst case. More info on how to configure nginx can be found on https://docs.nginx.com/nginx/admin-guide/content-cache/conte.... When a 502 error is served, images or bandwidth are usually not your problem but your backend that is too slow. In your case you probably only need `proxy_cache_path` to define the cache path, `proxy_cache` to specify the zone name you used with `proxy_cache_path`, and `proxy_cache_valid 200 302 1m;`.

Probably because food is non-negotiable and most people are not willing to switch to a plant-based diet.

At least with energy production, there are comparable alternatives to fossil fuels: solar, wind, and nuclear.

With food, there is simply not a comparable alternative to meat. The solution is a compelling meat substitute.

Whenever I watch Geordi and Data doing something in engineering, they’re often talking to the computer about constructing models and sims and such.

To me this is the most ultimate form of declarative programming. Not that we will all be talking it out, but that we will explain in natural language what we’re after.

It maximizes how much time we spend in the “problem understanding/solving” phase and minimizes the tedium of actually setting up the apparatus.

If a company's code is audited (internally or externally), and GPL code is found, you can bet your ass the dev who committed that GPLed code will get a stern talking too, and the company will have to re-write that code.

And that's just for GPL code. Code not under an OSS license could get way worse.

Telnet is still in use for its primary purpose, which is a bit different than a locomotive which has been neglected to a tourist attraction. Your last paragraph means you would like to make telnet obsolete, but it isn't yet. As evidenced in the thread, it's not partical or desirable to replace it with other technology in all the deployments of it. So, it's still hanging in there for now.
