Musk to Reinstate Trump's Account

Thank you! I'm not very familiar with USDC, though I am familiar with Dai and the MakerDAO ecosystem, and it looks like USDC serves a similar purpose, even though the design between the two looks different (one is centralized, one is not). Perhaps those two assets offer similar order of magnitude tradeoffs in terms of tail risk. In retrospect, putting the money in USDC (or Dai) or similar would have been a good course of action.

I realize this wasn't evident from my initial post, but I actually go back many years with crypto and have run both airgapped computers at home as well as used Trezors without mistake (including using Uniswap), so I'm less worried about losing my keys or committing other such user errors.

Ironically, while I used to worry more about using CEX's (thinking they could hacked, or the founders could run away with the money), over time I gravitated towards worrying more about actually getting my crypto money back into the banking system, without running afoul of AML / KYC hurdles, and I thought CEX's would be the less risky option in this regard.

And in this case specifically, once the money on FTX became sizable, I became even more paranoid about this, and I guess I got set in my own thinking of not wanting the money to leave the exchange for fear of not being able to transfer it back into the banking system.

In retrospect, it's funny (and obviously sad at the same time) how I overly worried about one thing, while completely missing out on what the real risk was.

You all have been extremely helpful, so I thank you very much (and not least for allowing me to put some of my thoughts in writing and reasoning with you about it). We live and learn -- now onto figuring out how to make up for the money lost!
The regulators are heavily funded by the auto industry, creates an environment where they don't want to upset the hand that feeds them.

I absolutely agree the "cars" have become too big, as well as too heavy. This has flow on effects on stopping distances, the force when there is a crash, road damage, parking spots and lanes needing to get bigger and so on

> I haven't seen one commenter here concerned with copyright violation

While we are enumerating things we haven't seen...

In the United States, copyright exists "to promote the progress of the useful arts and sciences", yet copyright is defined in terms of "life of the creator plus some years".

I have never seen an explanation of how copyright is expected to incentivize a dead creator to perform further creative acts.
> What on earth are you talking about? Some of the best artworks - in all categories mentioned, and beyond - come with a flippancy towards marketability, aka the avant-garde. The detachment of capital from expression will only prompt more earnest expression.

Is this an “Artists should come from rich families“ or “Be like Picasso and Warhol. Attend the right parties with the right people and you can attract the right patrons too.”?

The only people who can be flippant with regards to marketability are those who have family money, an extremely supportive spouse, a patron or are willing to live in poverty.

> The $15 they want is to map an RGB to a Pantone number, no?

The exact opposite, but close enough.

> to also define which RGB values have a corresponding Pantone. Ie. “You can accurately print this number!

This is still backwards. Pantone has not gone through the RGB numbers and figured what inks they could make. Pantone has made inks, and when people need to work on a screen, with projects that will use those inks, they need mappings that will give them a reasonable enough approximation of the colors of those inks to do their jobs. What is printed will not match what is on the screen (irt color.)

> Give the printing apparatus these numbers and they’ll mix the pigments precisely based on formulas they have (and probably also paid for?)

Absolutely. But those numbers will have nothing to do with either RGB or CMYK, other than that approximations of those colors in RGB were used to do the design. Prepress people and designers are composing with RGB, but printing with Pantone. It's as if you composed an orchestra piece on a piano.

> Why does their opinion about what they want to be called not matter?

I mean it does, but it doesn't override everyone else's. Consider people with with albinism. A medical text should not refer to people with albinism as albino men, even if some men might prefer to be called "men" instead of albinos. That'd mean calling albino women "men" which they clearly are not.

In the same way, assuming you accept that trans men are men (which the author purports to) calling people who menstruate women is calling these men something that they are not. So you need to use something that actually describes what you are trying to describe. This is also true since not all biological women menstruate, so even there if you use the term "women" instead of "people who menstruate" when discussing something medical that has to do with menstruating, you've now used an inaccurate term that describes a larger group of people than you are discussing.
They also call it "breast cancer" in men, so you're probably right.

I would highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rT4WjLWRRrw
(specifically "part 2: Gender" and "Part 3 Labels"). If you want ramblings continue reading but really the video is much better.

The answer that I have come to is that the term 'woman' is vague, it means different things to different people, and that's ok. Defining a group based on difference like you have makes things needlessly complicated, for example what is chair?:

As we have all come to understand in recent years, CHAIRS can HAVE WHEEL, but CHAIRS can also HAVE LEGS . They can have a BACK, or they can lack them. They can be WELL BUILT or they can be WEAK . They can be strong or they can be weak. They can be short or they can be tall. What does the word CHAIR mean? It seems like a word that doesn't mean anything at all?

A chair is something you perceive as a chair and a woman is someone you perceive as a woman. Thus, to identify as woman means you would like to be perceived as a woman with whatever baggage comes attached with the person's concept of women. To that end you 'do woman'
IPFS is actually worse to put stuff in than the web or torrents, in my experience.

Last time I tried it, the ipfs service used its own storage scheme. Meaning it's not like pointing Apache at a directory. You take your stuff, and upload it into ipfsd first, and it puts that data into its storage system.

So to do this from scratch (not mirroring somebody else's content) needs a minimum of >62TB -- 31TB of content, which ipfsd will then package into 31TB more + overhead in its storage area.

And of course if you're doing this, you're expecting other people to mirror this stuff, so count on hundreds of terabytes of traffic.

So this is easily ~$3K in hard disks alone, plus the NAS/server hardware, plus traffic, plus the willingness to risk the FBI coming and grabbing all of it.
Well, at a 4% interest rate your person making 40k probably can afford a house priced at 3x salary. That would be about a 573 a month payment before taxes and insurance

The person making 80k a year perhaps could afford a house more than 3x salary, but that wouldn't necessarily be a good idea, since buying as much house as you can afford is probably bad advice.

I agree that the multiple is insufficient to determine what you can afford. I would certainly do a budget before deciding what I can afford, and a rent vs buy analysis.

Though in my personal circumstances I would say somewhere between 2 and 3 times salary was realistic. At 2.75% interest I bought a house that was around 2.8 times salary. That was a good compromise on housing budget verse other things.
How so? Homelessness is killing 20 US citizens per day.
This feels like it proves the point, I believe this is true, but yet, for all situations that aren't very specific and technical, the earth is round, and saying otherwise will cause more confusion->harm than good.
from a reply:

"As for server rules they changed in the 5 years I joined the server. I first joined it in 2017."

The surprising thing is that one instance can ban you, which prevents the account from being moved to another instance.

Not necessarily:

I was planning to build a small form factor pc which will be used as a headless server capable of running a NAS server, a few VMs and docker containers. I need a few AMD/Intel build suggestions under a budget of 1500$. Since I will be using this as a NAS server, a minimum of 4 SATA plugs would be excellent. It would also be nice to have options to upgrade the path in future.

Going into one of these instances publicly presenting yourself as a "capitalist" is a blatant and very transparent attempt at trolling regulars.
I think we must give great weight to the fact there are prominent and proud trans techies -- it tells you that in tech you can be successful. In what other fields would you be as accepted?

There's also the need to be part of a community online, a community which is not physically accessible in most places, so the level of social media engagement is higher, and maybe that leads to tech and tech-adjacent work.
Pantone sells mixed inks in a bucket. Printing presses tend to only have cyan, magenta, yellow, black ink in them. The density of those inks varies naturally as a printing press runs. That variation isn't kind to business identity colors. It's not kind to photos either but human vision helps adapt to these variations, with some limits. Specific colored ink mixed in a bucket is much more stable on press, minimal variation.

There are other spot color systems such as Toyo, and Focoltone. But at least in the U.S. Pantone is the most common system.

Responding to both your comments in one.

> I mean you did not even bother to search for another paper.

I most certainly did. The search results I got were primarily ads, and few clinical studies I found were, like the one you linked, far less bold in the results they claimed than your claim of a “cure”.

> You make me assumption that I’m trying to disabuse you of taking your medication. I’m not. I don’t care, take it if you want. But by not being open to other methods of treatment, you aredisabusing people of that choice.

Excuse me, how?

> You go on and on about how you don’t think it would work

The studies themselves don’t support your claim of a cure.

> but have you ever had your B6 level tested never mind your red blood cell B6 levels?

No, I haven’t been to a doctor since some person on the internet mentioned this a few days ago. I did have a scheduled psychiatrist appointment in that time, but had to reschedule because il out of state for a family medical emergency.

> I get it, you don’t care

I don’t know where you got that impression. I took the time to reply thoughtfully and, despite your impressions otherwise, to look for other studies more pertinent to my own experience. In my thoughtful response I expressed caution and the reasons for that caution, which you completely ignored.

> you found a treatment that works, even though that treatment is not curing the underlying disorder

That’s right. And it’s important. It’s the reason I’m still alive. I’m cautious about upsetting treatment that works because I would very much like to remain alive.

> I’ve been working with people with new disorders for 25 years and I’ve seen it over and over again.

I don’t know if you mean the disorder is new in the world (it’s not) or in me (it’s also not).

> So I’m not asking you to stop taking anything I’m asking you to keep an open mind which you seem to not be able to do.

I don’t know where you got that impression. An open mind isn’t characterized by immediately accepting life changing “solutions” proposed by random people on the internet, regardless of whether they cite medical studies. I expressed an open mind, I said I’d consider giving it a try.

> That’s OK.

In your own words, I don’t believe you. You have talked past me and several others in this thread, and you don’t seem to want to accept anything other than a revelation that what I need is vitamins rather than the treatment that my doctor prescribes. You have even suggested that I’m preventing other people from treatment (or a “cure”) you think more appropriate simply because I haven’t dropped everything to try your preferred treatment. If this is how you “work with” other people who are hoping to treat their ADHD effectively, god help them. And it has nothing to do with the particular treatment, I felt the same way about my first psychiatrist who was just as zealous about stimulant treatment.

What sort of languages are you thinking of which are "closer to the metal" than C++ but support the features you'd want for these structures ?

The closest I can think of is Rust, but it does have ports of such things. Rust's HashMap is a Swiss Table - Abseil's flash_hash_map but ported to Rust (via HashBrown), Haphazard is a Rust port of the Folly library's hazard pointers (which might some day be C++ 26 or C++ 29 Hazard Pointers)

It is astonishing how little information these predictions convey.

So GDP will probably grow about 2% again. First -- you can "forecast" that by looking at a fifty-year chart and picking the median. Second -- who would benefit from knowing that information a year early?

All of the predictions are like that. There is little variance from an uneducated guess, and no actionable suggestions.

Maybe if this was framed as "a survey of the status-quo" rather than "superforecasting" I wouldn't be so negative about it. But there is nothing "super" about this.

I don't know for certain, but when I was an undergrad I was helping a PhD student with his thesis around text classification, mostly grunt work, speeding up some hastily thrown together algorithms, etc. He said it was for his company, which was good enough for me; I was getting experience, he was friendly and polite and we enjoyed each other's company and mutual learning.

I found out years later (this was in the mid 1980's), that his company was "The Company"; the US CIA.

So I don't think my shitty little pieces of C code written on a Windows box ever made it into any US Gov't system parsing Internet mails/chats/etc, but it could have.

* Minimize BOM cost. Only 1 in N lights would actually have the full sensor complement, so they needed to communicate.

* Minimize installation cost. They just wanted to plug into a light socket, not run network cabling.

* Push data logs to a central server. They didn't want to send a tech physically to each lightbulb to get data for e.g. energy usage certifications.

plus other obvious requirements.

All of that made it really easy to just stick a beacon tag inside employee badges and measure the RSSI from the mesh lightbulbs (since they already tracked that to discover who their physical neighbors were). Instant employee monitoring.
