The temptation to make a theological argument is a distraction here. The fact is that Catholicism thought that interest was a sin for a very long time, so Christians weren't allowed to do it. It's the only reason that Jews are slandered with accusations of usury, because they were the only Europeans allowed to openly make a living lending money.
What's going to happen is that the nut will round over, because there's little in this design to prevent the jaw back-driving the helix. Having used a lot of adjustable wrenches, and rounded over quite a few bolts, now I keep sets of open-end wrenches in reach on the toolbench and for adjustables I carry exclusively Knipex Pliers Wrenches, which are awesome tools. There's no way you're breaking the casting of the wrench without a big cheater bar, which I admit to having used...while wearing safety glasses.
Following the logic in the article: it's not actually a good outcome for the business when "Your QA people are the only ones charged with being an organizational conscience on the behalf of your users." To your earlier point, quality is something the entire team has to commit to.
This may be happening, but the reason it is happening is that Sarbanes Oxley made it such a burden to run a public company that companies that otherwise would have gone public began to seek capital in the private markets instead.

But why do I have those? My notebook could cost $10 if 640 kiB of RAM and 1 GB of storage were enough. I am of course not expecting that everything should work on a system from 30 years ago, we really made use of more powerful systems to do things that were impossible before, but I think we could still do a lot better.
If you're new to the world of crypto scams, it's really amazing how prevalent and blatant many of them are.

I've definitely thought about this.

Or even doing like a pottermore/buzzfeed-style quiz to "sort" you into an instance.

Honestly, I think the people that would bristle most about this are the instances themselves. I imagine that the vast majority of them dread the idea of having an influx of people who are joining the instance with little thought as to the existing community.

Some are probably more amenable to this, but those are likely to be the large general instances like mastodon.social and mas.to, but they are already huge.

True, I was intentionally trying to make it do something weird to see how it'd fail. But it's not just a lack of information. A tail might help with swimming but won't propel you through the void. And "anything deployed" is awkward. And what's an "intergalactic norm"? And so on.

I think more information would result in something more interesting, but I don't think it'd fix the problem that some of the concepts used just don't add up, because it's not actually a thinking machine, just very fancy statistics that work surprisingly well.
> ushers who can't get people to stop filming.

Not only is it a numbers game (too many people to police), it is also very annoying for other patrons when people are constantly told to stop.

So banning the phones is a great solution that solves a number of problems.

> Think they're going to know how to call the cops/handle an emergergcy? lol.

Of course they do.

I really don’t think you rationale for refusing to hand over your phone holds up.
We all know how this works. It’s perfectly legal until someone in congress is impacted, then legislation will suddenly appear about this “new horrible invasion of privacy”.

You started out saying that women staring at men in the gym is the female gaze. That is wrong, because the male gaze isn't about the actual act of gazing. It's about perspective.

Your whole argument is centred on the act of gazing, not perspective in art.

Let me give an example. I'm sitting on park bench gazing at a woman walking by me. I am a male, and I am gazing, but that it not the male gaze.
Yes, the standard setup for any PHP application in the last 10 years is a webserver (e.g. Apache, nginx, Caddy, lighttpd) in front of PHP FPM.

I guess to the OP's point, it does still require PHP, FPM, a number of other PHP extensions, and the webserve all to be installed on the server. At which point, MySQL is just one more dependency. I would argue that SQLite is a little easier to back up and transfer than MySQL, but WordPress does that make easy anyway.

I wonder if there's a plan afoot to embed the whole thing inside an Electron app for some kind of portable TiddlyWiki like service.
I get it, i understand the 4B figure (and i was very wrong with my 2.5B figure)! I'ts because the advertisment revenue is down 90%. 90% of 4.5B is roughly 4B, hence TFA number i guess.

Now, it's only down that much since november, but it was still down 50% in october (due to the buyout and uncertainties, not Elon's policies), and it was already under last year results this summer. You see the issue? TFA (and me in believing without understanding) fucked up the calculations.

So. Let's not be charitable, and take the worst case scenario:

- Debt service: 1B,

- Cost reduction: Mostly inexistant due to severance package,

- Revenue reduction: 350*2(november-december) + 200 (october) + 200 (rest of the year): 1.1B

Total hole: 2.1B (worst case)

A charitable napkin calculation would be .5B.

I personally think twitter is loosing more than just the debt servicing, because some payments are very late, and it seems that severance package are hard to get for ex-employees. I don't think he would have done the policy change, or have tweeted what he has tweeted either if it was just money (i'm being very charitable here, as an excuse to Elon fans for being a bit of an ass in prior comments)

> why would anyone want to implement cryptography in BASIC?

The cryptography for these cards is usually provided by the OS or even in custom hardware, mostly for performance reasons: The underpowered 8-bit MCUs that were commonly used for them can't run e.g. RSA in a reasonable timeframe, so they have custom coprocessors for that.

> "I want a smartcard where I can program the actual CPU, not in some VM." [...] smartcards with 32-bit ARM cores and which are all flash-based. If there's a way to obtain and program one of these, I'd like to know about it.

I'm unfortunately not aware of such a thing in the smartcard world, but if you think about it, this just pushes the problem of trust down one layer. At some point, you'll have to trust the hardware RNG to supply actual randomness (and not just the output of a known-seed PRNG).

I suppose it could be useful in some scenarios to get rid of the proprietary OS/VM implementation if you are concerned about bugs there, but in the end, you are still ultimately trusting your hardware vendor.

Or are you mainly interested in being able to use a stack other than Java Card?
> being a lawyer

That's the thing that gets me. I get the desire to retaliate against people you feel have wronged you somehow, but as an actual strategy it seems like playing games like this with lawyers invites more trouble than it's worth. If they're trying to collect evidence, they will just send in an uninvolved third party to do it, not go themselves. But by attacking them personally, now they're going to use their legal skills to give you a headache.

When I read “electric fan car” I thought the fans would be producing forward thrust to accelerate the car, not downforce. This raises the question—would it be more effective to accelerate the car this way (probably less efficient, even with huge aircraft style electric ducted fans) vs. putting the force through the wheels (limited by traction)?

I agree 100% with you. I have a free digital monthly magazine in PDF. It has articles, etc. Finding images was a hard task: I had to find good images, creative commons, etc.

For the last month I paid MidJourney and it was amazing. I enjoy doing the magazine much more now. As you said, the image doesnt need to be exact, they must have some objects / surface a topic or idea. And I can modify them with Photoshop if I want to change something (or add text).

I think that's where the IA will prevail: scenarios where the requirements are not really important.

You have neither of those during the time of an emergency. They've already taken those things away at the door with the metal detector.

They do "have an area where you can unlock it" however it's a restricted area.. and not much of a use during an emergency.

What I'm suggesting is that if they hadn't written it in such obvious ways & just used business euphemisms, the case for the prosecutor would be such that it might not get prosecuted. After all, MLM scams are pretty healthy in the normal market. Amway makes ~$8B/year without any FBI scrutiny and the DeVos family is politically extremely powerful (Secretary of Education + Erik Prince running a security company that's been given political cover for the crimes against humanity that they've committed).

Well yes, after the distance to the our solar system’s other resources, the next pauses in exponential expansion would be crossing to the next star system, then the spaces to other galaxies, and then to other galaxy clusters.

There are not a lot of opportunities to saturate & stall once we sustainably develop resources beyond Earth

And stalls or extinctions due to conflict become very unlikely after we colonize a few systems

Banks are a massively significant cultural innovation. I can pay someone in a different country by pressing a button and it's a reliable, robust system.

In those days, it was a huge deal to be able to pay a merchant in France by giving gold, or even a paper representing ownership of gold, to a bank in England. Before, you had to send the money on a ship and hope for the best.

International banks led to a massive explosion in trade and global prosperity.

Can that be done for links to youtube and other platform sites?

It seems to do that securely requires proxying the resource but that’s not a great idea for platform content (It would likely break the site: You would need to rewrite all static and dynamic links to resources in order to host the platform under a different domain. You would also be responsible for bandwidth fees for relaying the content.) and redirecting would expose the platform’s open url to the resource.
I am considering it. I prefer to not worry about hosting at all, but if I am forced to think about it, I would rather use a hosting provider that I’m already familiar with. If hosting my own server is too much work, or has other downsides I’m not seeing, I will reluctantly choose an indie provider - probably hachyderm since it is run and used by people I trust.
Fair enough. Thank you.

Do we only have that handful of examples from that period or are there other contemporaneous tombs that are not pyramids? Or smaller pyramids? The thing I always thought was so weird about the pyramids is why there are so few of them. You’d think there would be lots of smaller and medium size ones leading up to the cluster of big ones if they were in fact tombs.
I think about a parallel in juggling - It's not the catches, it's the throws. To a bystander, it's very impressive that you can catch all the balls; but if your throws are bad, it's impossible to catch them - the pattern gets away from you.

Oh, good grief. "4 justices have to agree to hear the case" = granting certiori, as said elsewhere in this thread. It is the completely normal and usual way of the court deciding whether to hear a case at all.

I know that you got the "imperial" adjective from breathless recent media, but if you don't know even the basics of how the court works, refrain from commenting.

I don't want certain pronouns to be used, I am demanding their usage. I have a right to do this because those pronouns address me. This is the same as any other boundary set by anyone. You can call me by the wrong pronouns if you wish, in which case I will stop talking to you.

If you think this is militant behavior, it is, but I submit that you do the same thing and don't realize it. Consider how you would behave if the shoes were on the other feet.
Not faster than wages, as that's not sustainable over the long term, but faster than inflation as long as the same keeps happening for wages (which it has over the last 100 years though there is no guarantee to continue). The constraint is incomes.

This is not ideological. This is simply a natural consequence of people getting richer (incomes beat inflation). Nothing in my previous comment is ideological, either. It's an observation of the economic forces at play.

For me, I was doing a lot of development around infrastructure automation, and prior to that large healthcare datasets. While I also deploy to cloud and other resources, having a lot of things local reduced my latency a lot (and to be clear, my work subsidized about $10K of this). The more direct answer to your question - keep on chugging along with multiple VMs running, notable Docker workloads, and such, so more the breadth of things simultaneously, rather than raw speed for any one thing.

Indeed. I hate cheap tools, and they can damage not just themselves, but whatever you are working on.

Last thing I want to do is round an allen, strip a screw, or round a nut because a tool can't be bothered to be the right shape and be made out of the right materials to apply whatever torque/pressure is needed.

Good tools easily last decades, and I have some from my dad. Cheap tools often last a hard use or two, and sometimes less than a single hard use.

> Do you like having drinkable water in your house and not having piles of trash on the sidewalks

These are poor examples. Privately-owned water systems and trash collection are both very common, at least in the United States. Where I live now, both are city services. Where I lived immediately before, both were private.

> move 100 miles out of a metropolitan area. Just don't complain about having no roads, no water, internet, electricity or access to the hospital when you need it most.

Most houses in rural areas of the United States have perfectly adequate roads, have a private well, and get their electricity from a rural electric cooperative. Internet was tough, but Starlink has mostly solved that.

Not only in Netherlands - you would also experience this in Germany, for example. In many parts of Europe, even in their respective capital, you’ll find that many places don’t accept cards and you need cash. If Germany is any indication it’s becoming more common to accept cards but it’s still pretty easy to find places that either only take cash or only take cards above some minimum like 10 or 20 euros.
the reason it looks silly is because you're looking in a mirror that's showing a different face, but presenting the same opinions back at you. Of course it looks silly. Of course it looks like lack of critical thinking. Its both of those things - it's modeled after people who think talking is violence if they don't like the speech - it uses the same 'logic' and framework. It will equate this silly list of words to assault and battery uncritically, and can do so with any opinion to shut down discourse.

It's not a logical framework, its an ideological weapon used to shutdown competing ideas with nonsense like these blacklists. The question is if have the capacity to recognize that about your own reasoning when you get it lobbed back at you, or if you will simply declare it as the specious noise making of the 'anti woke crew' because it invalidates your position without any chance at coming to an agreement, because it immediately classifies any contradictory thinking as violent and evil without having to make a logical argument.
