I worked in backup software for 22 years until a few years ago. My suggestion is to make a backup and store it for long term on an external drive. The to the cloud full followed incremental backup daily so you can go back to any point along the way at any time. Currently I use Acronis and it works well. I backup to their cloud to avoid having my local backups also encrypted preventing restoring in the event of failure or malware. Good backup strategy would not overwrite old backups until you must and backup regularly, so you don't lose any more data than you can afford to lose. Remember recovery time as well.
Using Tornado was pretty common among well known/higher profile people in the space to avoid causing inadvertent market effects or leak info about upcoming projects.

Basically if you were high profile enough, people would watch your wallets to see what you were investing in/transacting with, and use that as market intelligence.

As far back as 2016 or so I recall someone specifically offering their blockchain analysis platform as a way to do this.

So you would use tornado to make the money you planned to invest/use appear "somewhere else" disconnected, to maintain privacy/security of a project.

Tornado and mixers and such become necessary specifically because all transactions are public - unlike in tradfi where transactions are opaque except to parties and intermediaries.

Similarly to how investors in tradfi tend to keep their investment strategies secret where possible.

If there is 1.75% of counterparty risk then why do bank transfers charge fixed rates of 0, 3 Euro and alike. If the underlying transfer is swift, sepa, wire then shouldn't this be the baseline?

It’s faster to fix bugs in a local fork and then send them upstream than it is to wait for upstream to incorporate the fix. Historically they’ve tried to keep the fork as close to upstream as possible, but there’s no reasons to make users wait on fixes in the meantime.
> The research, which was funded in part by the National Wildlife Federation and U.S. Department of Energy

Can't imagine there's any conflict of interest there.

> ethanol is likely at least 24% more carbon-intensive than gasoline due to emissions resulting from land use changes to grow corn, along with processing and combustion.

The nice thing about words like "likely" is that it leaves the door open for the other thing. Did the study find that ethanol is more carbon-intensive, or is it someone's opinion that it's more intensive?

I don't see how this adds up. As the article mentions, the carbon atoms in ethanol came from the atmosphere to which it returns. Yet not all of the carbon even makes it back. But the mere tilling of the soil puts ethanol somewhere worse than fossil fuels?

By that logic, we'd better stop farming crops all together.

> Tilling fields releases carbon stored in soil, while other farming activities, like applying nitrogen fertilizers, also produce emissions.

And we're to assume that, without the production of fuel ethanol, the same land wouldn't be tilled and used for other crops?

What is the nature of the carbon in that soil? Is it carbon that is constantly making its way up through the soil and into the atmosphere? Does stable isotope testing corroborate that it's a meaningful contributor to the global increase in atmospheric CO2?
In a discussion about the performance tradeoffs inherent in abstractions, you seem to be implying you don't understand why a tree of say, NSViews, would be more performant than the process of parsing text markup, converting that markup into a tree which in turn may/would have a component tree attached, which may include a mixture of platform-provided components and internal components, maintaining state between the DOM's tree, the component tree and potentially platform components in a highly-dynamic environment which has to expose and allow for mutations on it's internal state to an interpreted runtime.

I'd recommend reading through WebCore, from the WebKit project, as its some of the most readable CPP you'll find, and should give a sense of why that implication is naive:

Well, if using the system... it makes serialization far less complex in terms of normalization. You can serialize/deserialize through what have become relatively standard libraries for pretty much every language under the sun. This can be utilized in/out of class/record based representations of the data in your language of choice, and acted upon directly. The use of HTTP is as sensible as anything else, as the HTTP actions and paths align relatively well to resource endpoints as well as a text based protocol.

The abstractions and libraries available make this easier... if you look at IMAP it's byzantine by comparison.
I don’t think Singapore has run out of (re-)developable land. It has lots of low rise homes that have very low land value tax assessments. In any case, I agree their current situation is better than ours, but my point that the HDB model cannot solve housing costs without abundant supply stands.

I am surprised that no one is talking about Hiroshima and its possible impact on Japan’s falling birth rate.

The Axis countries of Germany, Japan and Italy have particularly steep declines in population with current generations simply unwilling to procreate. To not consider the impact of WW2 is a mistake. It’s not about fertility, it is about being defeated.
I'm sorry you took it personally, if it makes you feel better, the article in fact i found informative. Maybe my words were badly chosen: i wasn't judging your motivations, i was just calling bs. I just popped in on this thread about pop_os which i don't have any opinion on and just wanted to point that you were completely misusing the chromeos example. Your argument was an appeal to popularity which is never a valid an argument for quality and particularly not in this case where you have one of the biggest corporation in the world vs kinda grassroots community distributions or otherwise niche entities.

I don't understand why you're choosing this hill to die on and what point you're trying to make. You mentionned chromeos is gentoo underneath. Why don't you attribute it's success to gentoo? You're nitpicking on everything i said even irrelevant stuff (who cares who actually builds chromebooks? they are still google-stamped). And come on, are you really comparing the power and influence of redhat and google on consumers? Virtually no-one on the street knows about redhat (or any kind of linux corp), now google...

Something as fundamental and basic like consumer operating systems is basically unmovable and what people use has little to do with what's available and mostly with historical inertia and the state of worldwide tech politics. You're saying it yourself, linux was ready for years. To move anything you will have to exert tremendous social influence. People don't choose their OS, they are mostly conciliating between their job, their education and their family's or friend's tradition. So once again: chromeos being widespread is not an indicator of it's qualities (i'm sure it's perfectly fine tho), but just a measure of google's influence.
> I believe the apparent paradox is that the 'net force' is not the same thing as pressure

I don't think that's what OP means. He's saying that the gravitational force that acts on a given test particle that's located inside Earth at a radius r=R from the center is determined only by the amount of mass "below it", i.e. the mass inside the ball of radius R, not the matter making up the spherical shell R < r < R_E, where R_E is Earth's radius. Put differently, that (hollow) spherical shell does not cause any gravitational force on test particles inside it.

This is absolutely correct and a consequence of Gauß's law, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss%27s_law_for_gravity

Meanwhile, you are talking about a different thing entirely: The pressure. The matter above (as well as below and next to) our test particle will obviously also experience gravity and get pulled down. So our test particle will experience an isotropic force from all sides, which is generally quantified as pressure (force per area). This pressure is obviously not zero (but no one ever claimed that) and does depend on the radius of the outer spherical shell above it, in the same way as the pressure under water depends on how deep you are.

> But do make sure you have auto-renew setup etc

Instead of auto-renew I register my domains for 10 years, and add an annual recurring event to my calendar to remind me to add another year.

That way I keep the expiration 9-10 years in the future so that if there is ever a big price increase and I need to move to a cheaper domain I've got a long time to make the move.

No need for auto-renew because there is no way that I'd manage to miss the calendar events enough years in a row to have the domains expire, and even if I did have auto-renew the on-file credit card information would be out of date when it is time to auto-renew.

I have a small python script responsible for dimming my thinkpad + external display; it takes an argument like 'b * 0.95' for 5% reduction, reads HW + SW brightness, and lowers HW brightness to minimum before then reducing the SW brightness.

Pretty nice and the only recent change I've made is making it re-evaluate the expression based on frequency of keystrokes (so 3 brightness-down keys in 1s becomes 9 evaluated decreases in brightness).

The abstractions provided by JAX for parallelism are beautiful.

An astounding amount of complexity is hidden from the user behind primitives like pmap, and the power is exposed in such a simple interface.

Immigration is a short term solution to a long term problem.

Global fertility rate is only 2.4. Anything below 2.1 is a shrinking population. Yea, Japan could borrow population from China, but they will just be shrinking that population. Some countries in Africa still have significant positive fertility rates, but that is expected to drop dramatically if/as standards of living are increased.

This is a bit vague, but "wait for approval" here doesn't necessarily mean its the Pricing Advisor that's approving it. I definitely take it to mean its the management approval as mentioned later. Which makes sense, you'd normally want deviances from established prices to be approved by management.

Given that it says "If there is a disagreement between the participating Lessor and the RealPage Pricing Advisor..." I'd say the Pricing Advisor isn't able to just wholesale deny it or delay it. As the leasing agent, you'd just choose to deny that price, put in a comment about how its a unit that we haven't been able to move in forever and every tour over the last six months leads to people saying the unit is way overpriced", and then that comment would get sent to your manager for approval or rejection.

> a blatant attempt to coordinate and coerce landlords into a given pricing regime is the definition of price fixing.

There's no need for coercion. The landlords themselves are greedy (I don't think any more so than any other investor class).

Landlords being greedy isn't really a problem. They're going to try to get the highest rent. That's capitalism.

It's supposed to work in a COMPETITIVE market.

RealPage fixing prices breaks that. It's clearly causing consumer harm and anti-competitive.

Basic math. If your birthrate stabilizes below replacement level then you go extinct because each generation is smaller than the one before. The only way you don't go extinct is if your birthrate over the long haul is at or above replacement level.

It's possible that ads are now cheaper, but also less effective. I only ever did pay per click because impressions mean nothing to a startup that no one has ever heard of. But it was always hard to break out of the default settings that were pay per impression.

The downside is that our entire world economy is predicated on the assumption that labor will be cheap and markets ever expanding. Even if the population stabilizes, it looks like it will be well below what is considered replacement level and so this will require a massive shift in our thinking about how we organize literally everything in our society.

I don't know if it is possible to overstate how much things will change. The service staff you interact with at Starbucks, the grocery store, who deliver your meals, will no longer be affordable. These places will still exist in some form (though there will likely be fewer) and they will be much more automated than they even are now. These people will be so needed elsewhere that salaries will likely draw them to other industries critical to society continuing to function. Healthcare, in particular, will swallow up as much of the population as it is able to (much more than even now in a relative, not absolute sense).

We will have to make hard choices about continuing to support things like suburbs and other far-flung infrastructure that only barely made sense as long as you assumed more and more houses would be built and that property taxes would continue to go up to support it all. That will no longer be true, those houses will start to go empty, then the surrounding commercial properties. There will not be anyone interested in buying them. Some will be torn down, many will probably rot in place. This has already been in progress for decades in economically depressed areas, particularly the so-called "Rust Belt" in the United States.

There will (and already are) massive brain drains in key industries where skilled older workers are either not being replaced, or by those with much less directly applicable experience. The ability to maintain our infrastructure will become strained to the point where we will have to ask ourselves how we can safely reverse our maintenance and operation commitments alongside a constantly shrinking population while avoiding single points of failure that could trigger a panic or societal collapse. This is not far-fetched alarmism, the way we currently live, we are only a week or two of regional or national power outages away from complete anarchy. So many of our systems are interrelated, that a failure of one or two critical ones can have a cascading effect. The smaller local outages in Texas in 2021 was minutes away from leading to nearly months-long blackouts for this reason.

We will need more redundancy and slack in the system to manage these when they occur. Market capitalism abhors redundancy as inefficient so this will not be highly incentivized to be taken on by any one corporation, leading to governments likely deciding to impose extreme regulation or outright nationalize industries.

Interestingly, the United States may be one of the few societies where things more or less run along as normal, but this is only assuming a continued or increasing permissive immigration policy. The more we go the way of the Japanese, all of the above applies.
