I have little doubt that a strong event could cause severe disruptions and i see no reason why it won't happen eventually.

It is a click bait because the articles goes: Shorting Tether is a great idea and ends with ah actually it’s not a good idea , expensive so I put 200 eur in something with extreme risk to short it. Yes, it is click bait
I'm willing to take the bet. Let's send $10k each to a reputable escrow. If after a year USDT trades under $0.9, you get $20k. Otherwise, I get it.

Curious about this. The geometric mean of return for the S&P500 is about 7% over several decades. The longer the time horizon the more likely you’ll hit 7%.

Of course web ad efficiency will drop if we stick to GDPR-compliant practices only. Perhaps reaching the target audience efficiently will become less accessible to small businesses. Yet this is not enough to question if GDPR-compliant web advertising is possible.

Okay, the number of TV channels is small, I get your point. But there also are physical ads, e.g. billboards, subway posters, cards/booklets, local newspapers which often are focused to a small number of physical locations but still happen to generate enough revenue to sustain a business.

There also are agencies which would put your ad on posters all over the country - ad aggregator networks can still work and manage the consolidation this way, we only want to hide viewer personal details from them, not to eliminate them completely. This will decrease significantly (yet not kill completely) targeting efficiency, make display/click price bargaining more subjective but that's all.
100%, a $70 CO2 sensor made a huge difference for me. I live in Germany, and there is no ventilation unless you open the window. I noticed that when I worked all day in the apartment, at the end of the day my brain would be toast, I wouldn't be capable of any really important thought, and I'd have a splitting headache and feel exhausted. Now I just open the window whenever the meter turns yellow (which actually means I just leave the window open almost all the time).

My dad was a socialist as a young man. Being in the military for 23 years cured him of that. We lived on military bases for years, and seeing how they operated is worthy of much sad hilarity.

I also toured East Berlin in 1969 at the height of the Cold War. Modern folk often extol how great the USSR was. They'll tell me the Wall was built to keep the West out. Well, I've seen it with my own eyes. Dingy, gray, and sad.

The bus slipped right in through Checkpoint Charlie with just a passport check. Exiting was another story entirely. We all had to exit the bus while guards with machine guns gave it a very thorough search, including underneath.

I think it's scary that your entire motivation to want to have fun seems to be so that you can get more energy to work.

These species level threat things like this and climate change could be solved overnight if you just removed the concept of money. It’s mad how we hold our economic system above these sorts of possibilities. I don’t have a utopian answer to how to balance things in the right way but it’s just interesting to me that we have the material capability to do this stuff, but because of a monetary system that isn’t physically real (but is in reality) we can’t.

In many families, grandparents and particularly great-grandparents are 'pre-history'. I could tell you maybe about a dozen facts about the lives of two of my eight great grandparents, but that's it. What can I say about the childhoods of my grandparents if I hardly even know who their parents were?
iPhone 14 Pro Max sounds anti-Apple to me for some reason. Like a tamer version of "Mountain Dew Ultimate Extreme"

This is not my experience. My first Linux laptop was a HP nc8430 from 2006. I used it for two years with Windows and then reinstalled with Ubuntu 8.04. The touchpad was much better in Linux. I only used the touchpad to move the pointer and scroll, no gestures, no clock. I used the three physical buttons to click. My current laptop is a ZBook from 2014. I never used it with Windows but it's been good with all the Ubuntu LTS I used it with, all of them every second year, and with Debian 11. Again, I never clicked with the touchpad not used gestures. I always used X11. Probably the basics were always good enough on that hardware.
I used to put a lot of effort into trying to sync dot files. And you know what? I don't see a reason to do it. I only have one work computer and one personal computer.
Amen. When I finally had to switch to git, workflow with VCS became misery, exactly as the author suggests. It's mostly googling to Stackoverflow answers for simple operations, and being unable to memorize all those ten CLI options that you must type. Sadly, Mercurial has been dropped from Bitbucket in recent years.

I find it very hard to believe you've read anything on this subject. Let's do the very first step of reading about it, consulting wikipedia.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_soil

"Night soil is a historically used euphemism for human excreta collected from cesspools, privies, pail closets, pit latrines, privy middens, septic tanks, etc. This material was removed from the immediate area, usually at night, by workers employed in this trade. Sometimes it could be transported out of towns and sold on as a fertilizer.

Another definition is "untreated excreta transported without water (e.g. via containers or buckets)".[1] The term "night soil" is largely an outdated term, used in historical contexts. The modern term is "fecal sludge"; fecal sludge management is an ongoing challenge, particularly in developing countries.[2]

Night soil was produced as a result of a sanitation system in areas without sewer systems or septic tanks. In this system of waste management, the human feces are collected without dilution with water."

Note: UNTREATED.

One might also ask, when was human waste first subject to treatment?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sewage_treatment#History

"It was not until the late 19th century that it became possible to treat the sewage by biologically decomposing the organic components through the use of microorganisms and removing the pollutants."
The most important line in finance is "Past performance is no guarantee of future results". This is generally treated as a warning label: Don't assume an investment will continue to do well in the future simply because it's done well in the past.

However, what it really means is that nobody can predict future performance, even with historical data. I think it's negativity bias that this phrase is used to apply to downside; it should also be used when considering upside. (The reason, I think, is many people prefer to miss out on upside rather than experience downside, ie we are risk-averse.)

Over some future time frame, the S&P will go up again. It doesn't feel like that will be soon, but as I always admit to myself: I am really bad at predicting the future.
Sounds like a good system to me.

Asking someone in public a question isn't harassment. Doing the same with a video camera is also not harassment. If they make the polite request to stop and you don't, it would start to be harassment.

Git is many tools. For the purpose of this discussion it’s at least the following 2 tools:

1. A source code control system which allows you to manage the history and branches of your code.
2. A source code collaboration system that allows you to share code with others.

git rebase is excellent for (1). It could also be considered fundamental to it. I know I certainly use it a ton for this purpose and would find myself lost without it.

Unfortunately git rebase completely breaks (2) and if all git was is (2) it would certainly be considered an anti-feature, if not a bug.
Makes me excited to try &nsee how far AP mode can go these days.

After running 802.11n OpenWRT on cheap-ish routers for many years (Netgear WGT634U), I started wanting to just run Debian, and was trying a bunch of different Alfa adapters. Supposedly really good chipsets & most would go into AP mode but some had quite frank limits (realtek would reject clients after the 7th), or reset semi-regularly even with really really well conditioned usb hub power. I spent probably 3 years trying to make it work & accepting some truly forsakenly bad wifi before finally going back & buying a netgear r7800 for AP.

There's a lot more chipsets these days & it might be worth exploring again. The appeal of being able to add passable wifi APs via usb remains alluring to me. And alas the pcie addin market is also not well suited here either... there's only sparse & expensive exotic gear seemingly targetting APs, like Compex cards.
> The goal is that the sheer recurrence is enough to convince people of the negative impact on innovation and societal growth big companies have.

I don't think anyone disagrees that monopolies are cancer.

The hard part is coming up with a targeted cure that attacks monopolies without hurting innovation.

So far that seems impossible. Almost like monopolies are a natural result of innovation.

It could be simpler and better thought out by removing the unnecessary staging area like mercurial did.
It is not criminal to _shoot/film_, however it is a criminal act to _publish_ videos/photos with people when they have not consented. There are many exceptions though (famous persons, people accidentally in the picture not being the focus, public demonstrations and other events — maybe not the best translations, just to give some ideas)
Different shades from a release for being in the shot versus recording someone’s conversation, but an important call out nonetheless. Interestingly, I haven’t heard of any criminal cases where social media folks have recorded and shared public conversations on platforms (TikTok, r/PublicFreakout, etc). Doesn’t mean they don’t exist, so if you’ve got case law to share, drop it here. I presume (Not a lawyer! Not legal advice!) that depending on jurisdiction, you may record anything in public assuming there is no expectation of privacy in the situation.

Won't work on windows outside of WSL, at least that has been a reason I've heard for not using Bash for simple stuff.

For complex applications bash (or shellscript in general) is also rather ill-suited as it has a lot of footguns and can be hard to maintain.

I've seen plenty of breathless doomsday porn on the subject, but I will go a considerable distance out on a branch to charitably assume that you did not mistake any of this for actual analysis and instead formed your opinion on the basis of something a bit more credible (or at least thoughtfully conducted). I'd be interested in reading that. Could you link me? Thanks.
However as has been said, even without intent to publish there might be civil damages involved.

> The tool developers want every commit to be feature-complete and that it won't cause broken builds at least in the master branch. This is impossible to achieve in the regular commit-merge workflow.You need to add the interactive rebases to achieve the goal.

Why is this impossible to do with a commit-merge workflow? If I do work on a development branch, then merge it into the main branch, only the merge commit appears in the main branch, and that merge commit has the final feature-complete commit. The main branch then has an unbroken sequence of feature-complete commits.

The only two complications are (1) avoiding fast-forward merges with the --no-ff flag and (2) viewing the history using the --first-parent flag. The first ensures that you always have a merge commit, even in cases where the history could be accurately represented without it, and the second avoids display of the development commits.
I can agree with a lot of what you wrote, and especially outcome vs. the original OOP promises. They meant one thing, and it turned out that thing is actually an anti pattern (inheriting implementations and state, not merely inheriting interfaces), but then they also delivered on what they said, just in a different way. Example: "we will have reusable code!" What they meant was deep inheritance hierarchies where children just inherit their parent code and selectively override parts of it. What was delivered instead was a set of principles using the vocabulary of OOP to guide developers into designing interfaces that are highly reusable (SOLID).

In terms of what this adds to C, I can only suggest that you study a large C project. I'd recommend the Linux kernel. You won't find first-class support for inheritance and polymorphism, but it's there. It is amazing how modifiable and extensible entire subsystems are, and when you examine it, you find the SOLID principles at work, which came from OOP study and practice.

I don't really understand what you mean by the way OOP is "structured." If you're referring to deep object hierarchies like Java or Qt, I don't really disagree. They attempt to force an architectural unity through object hierarchies. But then on the other hand, if you're saying that it isn't helpful to contemplate an architecture through the lense of types, the types of transformations and operations that can be performed on them, and packaging these operators and transformers into a group that can be passed to code that calls them abstractly, then I don't agree.

Amusingly, I don't think that second thing is what you're saying. But with your arguing against OOP, I don't really know how to interpret this. This is what OOP gave us language to describe. Of course some of these techniques existed before in LISP or C, but code bases of the day were largely NOT leveraging them in any large scale way. OOP gave us vocabulary for these concepts, as well as mainstreamed their use, similar to how functional programming mainstreamed the idea that a nonlinear or cyclic graph of executable functions must not allow shared state, even if hidden within objects, if you want to be able to maintain that code long term, and extend it. So it seems like you're arguing that OOP is bad, while neglecting the history that OOP brought us the common understanding of how modules should interact with each other.

True. I believe Catholic, Jewish, and Muslim have similar beliefs as well in the value of a human life. But belief doesn't always translate into action.

Just a living example; many homeless shelters here forbid the use of drugs, even if it means turning the user out into the cold and near certain death. For many of the people operating the shelters, the value of that person isn't worth the cost of what they might due because of the addiction. Not just in economic, but in emotional and mental fatigue for the operators.

I supposed then that the question could more correctly stated as: Do people view all others as valuable enough to expend a given amount time, energy, and resources on to support? And that I still believe the answer is likely no.
The chart shows year-to-year change, not lake level. It shows many periods in which the lake level drops year after year.

In any case, even temporary drops of a meter or less will expose some lakebed and contaminate the entire area. And that contamination sticks around. The area doesn't get much rain to wash it away, so the region will be progressively poisoned as time goes on. Short of large-scale geo-engineering projects, the SLC area seems doomed. Not a good place to set root and raise a family.

The author is apparently behind[1] a sucessful alternative UI to Git. It seems safe to assume that they are way beyond merely getting a feel for the Git model.

In spring, you can have multiple beans (=DI object instances) of the exact same class/interface. You can define one as primary and have to give them different names.

You can also automate bean creation per thread, per request, per session or whatever else floats your boat. Instance/bean persistence is easy too, if you really want to go that far (you should not).

For regulatory reasons, I once even had to implement a datasource selector for spring, that would pick the database connection based on userId.

Nothing is that unshielded. Things were designed to survive lightning back then, and they are designed to survive lightning now.

The question is really how our power distribution grids will fare. And the experience with telegraph back then is very relevant.

They have no way of knowing what all your business expenses are (especially ones that don't require sending the recipient one of the various Form 1099s). They can look at what you claim as business expenses and retroactively require you to show proof of those expenses (i.e., audit you) if they seem unreasonable, but that's an entirely different thing.

I dont see what justifies this fear, uncertainty, and doubt.

They're regulated. Not German nor a lawyer but my understanding is that security cameras should only film private property (or as much as possible) and constantly running dashcams aren't allowed. It seems you're only allowed to record when something is happening but a dashcam which deletes the records unless you save them seem to be fair game
