Although I agree that the expression that OP made maybe wasn't the best, they do have a point.

> Your first approach should be a Wise multi-currency account.

Excellent example; Wise is not available for account setup in the vast majority of developing countries, so if that's your solution it's already a failure. But why? For the most part it seems to come down to banking and currency regulations, which is exactly what cryptocurrency (at least Bitcoin) was designed to circumvent. I'm not even talking about countries that are essentially kleptocracies and have moulded their regulations to fit that structure, or remittances that have become such a large industry they practically power the GDP of a number of extremely poor countries.

> Any decentralized/floating-rate coins are utter garbage for folks without access to meaningful banking systems in so-called third-world countries due to the volatility, embedded systemic leverage, high fees and potential long transaction times.

I'm not sure this argument still holds with all the defi options today, but if this is an improvement on the status quo I guarantee people in third world countries will use it in spite of its deficiencies. A central bank that throttles access to alternative currency options will practically shut down the use of existing banking infrastructure, whether it's good or not.
At least in the U.S., modern academia has been slowly and quietly eliminating tenure.

Not that requiring geniuses to be career academics makes much sense, in any case.
There's no "winning" life. We're all going to die, the sun will expand to engulf the earth, and the universe has several possible endings but it ending is something physicists are pretty confident about. There's no such thing as forever, not for you, not for your genetic lineage, not for anyone or anything. So there's no clear way that having offspring is any more purposeful than anything else.

My father was a lot like you when it came to pushing the "giving everything to win" mindset. It fucked me up for life because it made it very difficult for me to relax and enjoy things for the sake of them.
There's nothing like the face of your friends when you pull out your Makita drill, connect it to the top of your vintage style coffee grinder and start grinding at 200rpm. This alone is worth purchasing a cordless drill (the bigger the better).
> where Ubuntu just unilaterally reverted Mozilla’s removal of a cert in their package, because it was breaking nuget… Note that this was early 2021 — Mozilla removed Symantec from their trust store in October 2018!

Mozilla actually removed the certs from their trust store in February 2021:
https://hg.mozilla.org/projects/nss/rev/9718a34c84429b1e5dc6...

Debian and Ubuntu had jumped the gun by a few weeks and there were certificates still being used that had not been renewed yet, so we had to revert temporarily.

Mozilla had used the CKA_NSS_SERVER_DISTRUST_AFTER tag with a date to specify newer certs issued by that CA were not valid, but as the article above states, the crypto libraries being used in Linux don't support that kind of thing.
Great. Create a class of "elite thinkers" who go on loafing about, full of them selves. Just no to this line of thinking.

Not laid off, but got an offer this month. All I did was turn on "open to work" on LinkedIn, respond to >400 recruiters, ~3% of which were offering good enough compensation. Had 4 on-sites, 2 rejections, 1 I rejected before offer stage, and 1 offer. Senior SRE, no leetcode / system design, but they did have a take-home project.

Even "The Most Pro-Union President You’ve Ever Seen" couldn't bring himself to side with the rail union. The sad part is despite this, even though he isn't the most pro union president, he might be up there. That is to say, our federal government in general is very pro corporate.
So Musk, who has done and is doing a lot to reduce air pollution(which is causing 6.5 million deaths per year) and climate change is sociopathic, but all the oil executives get a free pass, got it.

Care to expand how he's sociopathic?
I'm not sure I'm convinced. This is over the course of 22 years in what's arguably one of the most widely used pieces of software in the world. Keep in mind that Curl is not a tool that's ever truly "ready" so long as standards keep getting updated and new ones emerge.
Hmmm! The article talks a lot less about kids but more about the process of making one.

Anyways, here is a fun tip for parents with kids at home -- give them your ChatGPT account and let them have fun. My elder daughter pretty much spent the whole night awake creating a whole bunch of rap songs. She has already sang quite a few to us at the dinner table. Topic ranges from toes to everything the kid talk about these days. Her teachers might ban her access to it if she keeps up with making fun of discussion topics in her class.

OK. Raising kids is a really bad experience 50% of the time. However, there is a slight deviation towards fulfillment and fun, say 1% -- tilting the fun and excitement part to be 51% and that 1% makes all the difference.
Definitely YMMV, and it's not just when they are toddlers- teeanagers are a pain in the ass and will make you lose sleep, then they start dating with all the wrong people, get their heart broken, make bad life decisions and you will be able to do is watch and cry.
I used to get the bus to work about 10 years ago because parking in the city became so expensive (I stopped long before Covid hit).

The thing I don't miss is that I got sick every single Winter. All it takes is one inconsiderate person to not cover their mouth and everyone is getting ill. And it happened all the time.

I had a commute time that ranged between one and two hours over that stretch as I'd lived in a couple of different places, but that wasn't even extreme. I knew people with 2+ hour commutes each way which they did for years on end.

I understand there are a lot of people who need a place to work away from their home, but who is going to voluntarily return to an office when they don't need to just to prop up your portfolio and obsolete businesses? Why should they?

It's like the argument that people should support local businesses instead of buying from Amazon. If Amazon is cheaper and more convenient, why would someone buy anything elsewhere? (It's not like those businesses are going to help with your rent or food costs).

JS is the most important language in computing and, arguably, the most important language in the history of computing because it has far more compilers and interpreters installed, programmers who know the language, code written, tools available, applications used, and customers than any other programming language in history.

JS came by its ubiquity almost accidentally; it certainly wasn't planned. But it earned its stripes with credibility. The language just simply works. It will be with us in 50 years. And, thanks to TS, is improving all the time.

An interesting side node: Had JS not been invented first, Lua is most likely the language that would have this role.
Not Op, but the same from me, I eat meet, I killed chickens at the farm this does not mean that I am fine for say you torturing a cat, beating a horse or killing animals for fun and not eat them. So the situation is not a 0 or 1 , you can do your medical experiment but follow the ethical rules and laws that you should.
it's a culture problem, the library is like this because that's the culture of the language
It is odd to assume people in their 30s are single by choice. Especially when, given the strain of having children on a relationship, partner quality matters a lot.
Have you identified your perfect customer and are you in contact with them already? That would be your first step before spending money on advertising and promotion.
There’s a difference: no seed investors. Alameda was already operating, funded by cash (supposedly?) made from a kind of carry trade on some restricted cryptocurrencies. So ppl were putting money into an already operating business.

There’s still no excuse for zero diligence, much less zero oversight (they couldn’t even produce a balance sheet??). But the situations aren’t parallel.
Most people play sport to enjoy the game, not to become champions at it.

What about having offspring gives life purpose?

Do you just beget children to... help them grow up to beget more children so they can... help their children to beget more children so...

That doesn't sound (or vibe) purposeful to me. That description is obviously missing something essential.

If life has a purpose (or feeling/vibe of one) there must be something else than merely having offspring to propagate the species for its own sake.

Whatever that something else is, it seems obvious to me that it is not conditional on your own offspring specifically.

For example if you love children in person, there are a lot of orphans who would like soneone to raise them. And plenty of teaching and medicine to do.

If you love children more generally, there's plenty of science, entertainment, ending hunger, looking after the planet etc which lots of children really appreciate. They find that stuff purposeful, and that feels to me like that counts for a lot.

You do you, but you see where I'm coming from.
It's a bit sad to see it coming up to regularly. On the one hand it's a very classic example of programming bugs leading to injury and death. On the other hand it's so long ago that bringing it up so often makes it seem like it's the only good example of dangerous software. Software must be pretty amazing and safe that we have to keep bringing up an example from the late 80s.

There are plenty of regular good people who are CEOs, you just never hear about them in the news.
Doesn’t collecting the material but not looking at it actually create risk and liability rather than reducing? For example, take the extreme that you answered one of the questions with admitting to selling to a sanctioned country. Well, they knew about it and have record of knowing about it but acquired anyway because they never looked at the materials.
Or give corrupt or fraudsters asylum like Britian does. Or sell visas to rich people like Canda and Australia do.
And making a properly binding handling of the liabity is absolutely key to being able to do those searches ahead of time. And that requires record keeping, proofs of payment, lots of document handling, simultaneous execution of a pile of different contracts, and so on.

It's actually a pretty good use case for the blockchain. It solves real problems here. Obviously it's not as sophisticated as systems that have been in use for 10 years, but it's a lot better than some of the archaic systems which still cleave to norms which have been in place for centuries.
> Ubuntu has never seemed to take security particularly seriously.

I haven't heard that before. Care to elaborate what we do that makes you believe we don't take security seriously?
There are many great things about having kids. There are many tough things you need to deal with when you have kids. Before I became a dad, I had a decent insight into the good and the bad.

One good thing that surprised me is the immense inner joy I feel when I see them enjoying themselves. Whether it is watching them laugh uncontrollably, seeing them learn something, or watching them immersed in play.

These are things I used to enjoy, but with age, I either have fewer opportunities to do myself, or they became less enjoyable. Watching my kids go through these experiences stirs up all those same emotions once again.

I'd never think I would enjoy Santa's visits or the great feeling of learning to ride a bike again as an adult, but through my kids, I get to do it again.

Strangely, I don't get those feelings watching other kids doing these things. The chemistry of our minds and relationships is baffling.
This.

And I would say the broader distribution will actually be good for the environment as whole. Or at least it could be.

+1 for twinkle lights. It's getting dark very early these days (Canada) and I was not feeling very productive after sundown. Why would I go back to my desk? But then I added a $12 christmas lights set all around the walls, and now looking forward to evening sessions. The ratio of joy per dollar is amazing!

(No twinkling though; just steady state on)
I sat through Amazon's process twice. Both times was 9 total hours of interviewing. Both times ghosted at the end.

Do you have usually fridge in airbnb place filled with anything else than just drinks (which would be fine also without refridgeration) on first evening after coming?

Is the first thing you do in the afternoon after checking in airbnb place going to shop to buy tons of supplies to store them in fridge?

I'd think people have better things to do on the first evening than shopping for groceries besides something small for dinner (if any) and those few dinner things would be fine even without fridge or not worth sleepless night with lights on.
downtowns are picking up. With remote work my wife walks downtown and gets lunch etc.

Crypto can also be viewed as assets to buy and sell for a profit, and nothing more. I know it can get more complicated, but it doesn't have to.

Regarding stocks, you can often be assured that public companies are held to a high standard, especially in western countries where the press reports on exploitation.
According to the article, Binance has $580 million locked up in FTX. But I thought that Binance sold all their FTX assets, which is what trigger the original bank-run on FTX. Was Binance not able to get their money out? If so, that seems disastrous for Binance.

People complaining that an AI is socialist don't realise what they're getting themselves into. Left positions are pretty generically good for everyone, right is usually very specific to those people. How do you think a right-wing AI would feel about human rights?

When "boring" companies do real due diligence, the due diligence team is supposed to read the contracts to find such things.

Also, the management team of FTX, should in fact inform the ones making the due diligence about such cases...
Am I the only one who thinks 1500 seems low for what they are doing? And all animals used in clinical tests like these are destroyed after, so it's not like they are going out of their way to slaughter animals.

Could they use less animals by doing things differently? I'm not an expert on any of this but I'm sure they could, but how does this compare to any other experimental brain or spine stimulation testing?
evidently not when watching it.
> but to paraphrase the designers eliminated the physical locking mechanism and had this attitude that "oh it's electronic so it won't wear out and fail".

And it would have been entirely fine if there was electronic safeguards put between code and rest of the device, just like some stop lights have it (if control board sends green signal to both directions it fails out and doesn't allow that). Defense in depth and all that
The most important, I think, is talking to the customer, and understanding what they want... even when they do not know it...

Parent might be falsely inferring an over-representation of GD from the statistical discrepancy between younger and older age groups of those who identify as LGTBQ+.
>I as a parent would call it empty and sad.

That's pretty judgemental of you. If your own children decide not to reproduce themselves, will you judge their own lives as empty and sad too, consider your own children hollow failures for not giving you grandchildren, and express your disappointment to them that they have failed to live up to your own expectations as a parent? Or will you love and support them for making their own decisions, like you refuse to extend to other people who decide not to become parents?
Hi, could you tell me the reason this post was quarantined off the front page, title changed (I assume to better match the intent) and then buried later? Was this me violating a policy I didn't consider, automod or faster decay due to me being a green account or manual moderation?

Would be nice to know why it happened, it seemed people were very engaged in a more or less healthy debate. I understand this is not too unique or novel (basically Copilot for your terminal) but the contextualization with ChatGPT seems to be specifically reminiscent of Sci-Fi AI concepts that are more tangible to people.

Thanks for any feedback!
Totally. For obvious animal welfare reasons it is standard practice in the industry to keep careful plans for these tests. You must prove that you absolutely need an animal model for the test, you must have a clear cut, documented procedure and design of experiments, etc. Every other company that does this kind of work does this.
The geo in geopolitics means the whole planet, not just the USA. Destabilizing Taiwan could have major effects
Convert offices to apartments to alleviate the housing supply shortage.
The US has rare earth mines and even more deposits. They just got priced out through decades of lower prices for those minerals. (Which just shows that resource allocation even for scarce resources, follows financial incentives similar to other financial considerations. Stuff being left in the ground actually makes them available for another day when they’re higher valued.)
OK but AFAICT there has been some upset about how long it's taking, and the withdrawal of the timetable for this?

https://cointelegraph.com/news/ether-staking-withdrawal-sche...

Perhaps I'm wrong and it's all been sorted out now. As a die-hard crypto sceptic I'm not always the best informed, but I am happy that the energy usage has been addressed.
I think you got the point right - it's easy to agree, almost objective, that sleepless nights are not good for you or crying babies or toddler with tantrums or chasing a toddler for the bed routing might not be the most funny thing to do after work is not the funniest activity in most of the cases, while the positive things are very subjective, less universal and more personal. That's why pointing out the "bad" things is easier, while reflecting on the positive side takes considerably longer than a random article on the web.
I think the downvotes are coming because you’re insisting on treating this as a question of sexualization. Gender is distinct and it’s reinforced early on - my son is 5 and most of his classmates have had things like “pink and skirts and dolls are for girls”, “trucks and blue and guns are for boys” established as the norm for years. That’s not perfectly reliable - we know more sparkly princesses who climb trees and drive race cars than I did at his age - but it’s _everywhere_, and the religious conservatives who call any acknowledgment of LGBTQ people “grooming” would 100% be locking and loading if even 10% of that reinforcement energy was going into LGBTQ acceptance.

Also note that none of this is about having sex: it’s about telling kids which archetypes are available for them as grownups. If we want to talk about sex, however, look at the degree to which girl’s clothing mimics the styles of adult women even at the expense of practicality for the things kids actually do and how many stories even for young children revolve around the major life goal being an exclusive relationship with a man. Again, the stuff people are complaining about now is an order of magnitude less than what kids are already getting to reinforce traditional gender norms.
The bit of advice I got from another parent before I had kids was golden: parents need time off the clock. Sometimes you need to hear your kid screeching about something and know it's someone else's problem. We don't have family around, so we give each other breaks on the weekend, usually one day where my spouse and I give each other half-day breaks. Idk what it's going to be like when he's older, but for now it works.
It is important to point out that this is only possible for the consumer app economy or a self-service type of software app or digital marketplace (like craigslist). Everything else requires more headcount (could be outsourced to 3rd parties or consultants). And in the whole economy this is a sliver of companies.

This is a great business of course but there are not many of them given the scale of the whole economy.

Before the Internet, the closest to this was creators or inventors living off of patents, license or copyright fees.
Years of experience?
New York rental vacancy rate is still pretty typical, but trending up[0]. I expect it will continue as leases expire and people move to WFH elsewhere. If that happens, rents should come down, unless RealPage and similar drive price spirals of higher prices for fewer occupied units.

It sounds like you're very good at what you do.

Sadly I've seen "architects" being more focused on drawings, crude prototypes and fluffy ideas. Basically dreaming up ideas and concepts, throwing them over the wall to developers and SREs to pick up. A previous boss of mine had to callback a candidate for a job, telling him, that despite us hiring pretty much anyone, we had no need for someone who thought of software architecture as a desk exercise.

If I see signed messages from John Doe which look like human generated messages and I start following him and then I start seeing AI-generated spam from John Doe, I can tag the signing key John Doe used as "bot confidently generating non-sense".

I cannot do that if John Doe doesn't have its own website.
