The French still have monarchs. Four (ish).

1. The President of France is also, ex-officio, Co-Prince of Andorra, so their president is a monarch, though he's not a monarch of France.

2. The Wallis and Futuna Islands, which are an overseas collectivity of France, is still divided into three kingdoms with recognised kings.

I find this take kind of odd to be honest.

From a capitalist perspective, the paternal employer-employee relationship is one of mutual benefit. Ensuring that the the employee's incentives align more closely with their employer's. At the same time it acts as (an arguably weak) justification for corporate profit, a comfortable and loyal employee is one who does not concern themselves too much with where the rest of the money is going.

The idea of the relationship as transient and adversarial directly opposes this. When companies force their workers into precarity, while at the same time making record profits, there ceases to be a justification for accepting that profit in the eyes of the worker. Eventually leading to some kind of societal response.
I would imagine not. Anyone who makes a significant amount of money is encouraged to park it in various money-making vehicles. Restaurants, bars, sports teams, etc.

I think Newman is unique in that his major venture uses its profits for charity. I don't think Newman himself made much money from the endeavor. By design. He set it up as a way to generate money for charitable giving.

The devil is in the details. For example, docker has a DNS service at 127.0.0.11 it injects into /etc/resolv.conf, while podman injects domain names of your network into /etc/hosts. Nginx requires a real DNS service for its `resolver` configuration.
Because they've given up on being able to maintain a desktop distro with a set of system libraries that allow you to run programs. Future shock from the too rapidly changing underlying libs and no thought of forwards compatibility longer than 3 years means no software lasts longer than 3 years, if that. And so, like a fever is a symptom of infection, we have containers as symptom of future shock.

As for which container, it doesn't really matter, and there's been a lot of not-invented here going around creating new containers that muddied the waters. But the truth is they're all symptoms of something bad even if they mitigate a problem temporarily (while making debugging, networking, freedesktop standards, etc incomparably harder).
Many types of institutions have to mark to market on a ~constant basis, so it's not impossible. Yes there are certain asset classes (private companies, for example) that don't have easy or reliable marks (but people still do it anyway!). But at least for SVB the issue was not determining the market value, but that the market value was bad.
Yes. This is why it's always nice to keep a budget after the software is released.

I've never seen that done, sounds like a bug in the website because there's not reason to do that. It's also an easy fix: close the tab and don't use websites that do that.
It's not quite true, but close.

It's about #10 overall, but most of the countries above it are tiny, and their overall production is negligible.

Canada and Australia do appear above the US on the list, though not radically so. They are somewhat smaller than the US.

Although the US is not literally #1, either overall or per capita, it's one of the best targets for reducing CO2. Its per-capita consumption is so much higher than most that it should be able to look to other developed countries for ways to reduce it, and its overall consumption is so high that any small change will have a disproportionate effect on the total.

That's a lot more words than saying "The US is the largest per-capita producer", but arguing that it isn't is really just arguing over details. The important question is "Who should be taking the biggest steps to reduce CO2" and the answer is unambiguously "The US", followed by China and the developed Western countries.

> I don’t think it’s a big change

This is a big part of the problem in tech apparently. It _is_ a big change and in other industries it is very common for large cash holders to do normal due diligence on their banks and to have technology and procedures to mitigate the counterparty risk.

The flocking concern was literally cited as one of the problems with “too big to fail” in 2008 and it happened! Lots of corporate & governmental treasurers took that as a clue to move to larger banks.

Bank runs start because someone notices and publishes that a bank is insolvent, not the other way around. In this case it was because a bunch of supposedly sophisticated actors realized it too late.
Sprint (product development and testing)

It left me with a more fundamental, "first principles" outlook on the 5 key stages of doing _anything_:

1. Understand

2. Explore

3. Decide

4. Prototype/Build

5. Test

So for example, when things often go wrong it's because a stage was skipped, done out of sequence, or extremely neglected.

But what about protest? I don't know.

I understand the need for protest, and I would defend most of it. But the last few years has also seen a lot of protests that go too far; people hiding under the skirt of protest when they're actually just there to riot, instigate violent confrontation.

Is it okay to superglue yourself to a road to protest oil? Is it okay to break shit, block or delay thousands of normal people to get a message across?

The law doesn't do "sometimes" very well, and people don't do "balanced and unbiased" very well. I'm not sure what's right.

Sure, you're welcome to start one. My hat is off to you and/or 'jachee' if it comes to fruition. That takes a lot of real work, however, as opposed to posting a few snarky internet comments and calling it a day.
Part of me wonders whether some of the recent advancements in LLMs could help detect and stop scams by having them pre-process emails, texts, or monitor transcripts of ongoing phone calls and have them alert the user if the content seems scammy, or even just advise of common-sense precautions that could be taken (for example "you should hang up and call your bank back at the number on their website").

Another part of me is kind of horrified at the privacy implications of that, and questions if that potential trade-off would be worth it given that such a service would undoubtedly be run by a private corporation.
Sounds like the only way. And it sounds rare. Most startups in yc or anywhere never get these contracts.
I'm saying the author's analogy is not nuanced enough, and the analogy I presented is a better fit. I also fail to see how his informal, throw-away analogy analogy could possibly undermine the arguments presented in the remainder of the paper.

Those arguments and the empirical data that follows are exactly why I think my analogy is better, but it seems silly to dismiss the remainder of a paper based on that flawed analogy.
Get ready for the gpt powered scams that call your family members and use a text to speech model that mimics your voice because a few second snapshot of your voice is all that’s now needed to reasonably mimic you.

Because he was competing with a private military contractor, and the US government is a wholly owned subsidiary of the MIC: or often acts like it is. Customs should have told RSA "no", "this is a private contract dispute", "hire a lawyer and file suit". Of course it was much more than that. Zimmerman put real privacy protecting encryption in the hands of the public, and the Many Eyes (that included state allies and adversaries) couldn't have that. But they needn't have worried: decades on the public is still ignorant about encryption, except as a marketing term, and most have no idea what a key pair is or what to do with it. Fraud around unauthorized access to government and commercial accounts is rampant (you _have_ set up and secured your online identity on your government's social security and revenue collection sites, haven't you?). That could have been prevented by early adoption and distribution of key pairs, alongside a serious public education campaign. Problem is, that would be at cross purposes with the goal of keeping the public uneducatable. Better for them to while away their time watching cable TV or delving into the latest conspiracy theory (pro or con).
I wonder how many incidences of the Unicode roman numerals there are in the wild? The fact that there's no easy way to type 99% of Unicode for most users kind of makes all of this feel a bit pointless.

T-Mobile seems to be collecting pre-pay brands.

Only a few can take advantage of multi-core in one image. The rest would be the VM using 1 core (as in NodeJS) with the VM being multithreaded.

As a football enthusiast I'm also really interested to see where he takes Wrexham.
The analogy worked fine under the last sentence of your previous comment - now removed - which said something like "assume nothing is given, assume nothing is owned".

Anyway, we can work with your example. Your example is missing the context that Docker images are not always used as an app, but also as a building block.

So let's change the exercise slightly: assume Dashbit owns Hex.pm and posting any package to Hex.pm now requires $300/year or packages will be removed within a month.

As an OSS maintainer, if you do not pay, you will break the deployment of all users of your package. So... would everyone still be fine with it? The cost of running a business and all that?

EDIT: Hex.pm supports custom registries which anyone can self-host. Including built-in tools to help you with that. You can apply this exercise to any open source community with a centralized-by-default package manager with custom registries (which, afaik, are most of them).

> But that valuation model is not perfectly valid. It’s only partially valid under limited scenarios.

Its valid under the applicable regulations. However, it is one case where having adequate capital under those rules was not backstopped by available liquidity measures from the Fed.

One thing that seems to be generating less commentary is that, in the wake of the SVB collapse, and virtually simultaneously to the announcement of the systemic risk exception for SVB by the FDIC/Treasury/Fed, the Federal Reserve also announced a generally-available liquidity backstop program for this kind of hold-to-maturity assets.

> You can’t use value securities as “mark-to-intended-optimal-future” as an alternative to “mark-to-market” for purposes of insolvency risk calculations.

To the extent that refers to valuing the class of assets at issue at their par value, and to the extent that that was true last week, its not now.

Part of my issue with Flatpak is that it takes these systems that really ought to be managed separately (process isolation, package management, runtime configuration, security, etc.) and makes them one monolith. It's an ok stopgap for people frustrated with software distribution, but it tangles itself up in so much mess that it's hard to promote over it's competitors (even Snap).

It's not great. Sometimes it works well, but when the wiccan magic inside Flatpak breaks now you have to debug two runtimes for the price of one!
Yeah, Republic Wireless was started by Bandwidth.com, a registered CLEC and leading provider of wholesale telephone services. It's not surprising that they'd have the wherewithal to build their MVNO with switching in mind, or that they owned the voice calling portion.

Apparently it was spun off in 2016, and is now owned by Dish. And looks like they switched to ATT and carrier based calling. I'm just summarizing wikipedia though; I don't know if there were SIM replacements or if the SIMs were network independent so they "just" had to have a different network allow attachment.

It's not far from the truth. I don't think they can technically get away with hitting your credit score before you signed a contract, and instead will send you a "first bill" once you do contact them, which will include the difference between the meter reading when you moved into the property, and whatever reading they had from the last tenant. Often this results in a headache while you try to avoid paying for electricity/gas you didn't consume. But it's not unheard of for utility companies to fuck with your credit score when the only major error you made was not contacting them quickly enough.
You don't even need the fancy fake voice. Scammers called my Grandmother once, this was about 5/6 years ago, pretending to be me, her grandson. Pretending to be me, they told her I was in jail for cocaine possession and that she needed to wire money to bail me out. She believed it at first and was in her car driving into town to wire the money when she decided to try calling my cell to check. I told her I was in my office at work, and that I don't do drugs, lol. I am glad she had the idea to call my cell! I am fairly certain the only reason it didn't work on her in particular is that she knows I am a giant computer nerd with no friends so that was not something I was likely to be doing, haha!

My general point was that an administrative backdoor isn't really needed since the regressives have seemingly found a legal basis to criminalize reasonable and prudent medical care on its own.

But I do see your point that if the regressives take the presidency but not congress, then the more the government is involved in the more damage they will do. I'm not a huge fan of single payer healthcare, but I guess I accept it as a compromise as it's the only plan that's been put forth to reform the deeply corrupt healthcare system. I personally want less government involvement in individuals' lives in general (and it's necessary to include de facto corporate government in that scope as well). But I've also paused focusing on this line of argument because the regressive movement has used up so much of the air for it, in bad faith.

But really regardless, we're kind of screwed if the regressives take the executive any time before their social-media-fueled nonsense is run out of the mainstream by actual conservatives - that is people who believe in questioning change, not trying to drag us back in time 70 years to some imagined idyllic past.

Companies can already buy recurring 3 month treasuries to hold their cash.

Does it? As far as I know, it loads modules from the script's directory (which is usually fine), not from the current working directory.

$ mkdir bin_dir
$ echo 'print("mymod loaded as expected.")' >bin_dir/mymod.py
$ echo 'import mymod' >bin_dir/script.py

$ mkdir working_dir
$ echo 'print("Oops, game over!")' >working_dir/mymod.py

$ cd working_dir/
$ python3 ../bin_dir/script.py
mymod loaded as expected.
And it seems like a no-brainer money-wise too. A dedicated task-force of 10 people might cost you a million a year, but they'll easily track down scammers doing that amount of damage per month.

I recently took an interest into a phishing campaign because the guy was using Amazon SES and kept using new email templates and it kept landing in my inbox. He was an amateur and it was easy to find juice things on his server, and it looked like he was engaging in all kinds of different scams, like phishing for bank logins, defrauding online-shops, identity theft etc. With law enforcement options, I'm pretty confident I could've nailed him with a few hours invested. Get him for one crime, you stop 10 others.

But the last time I talked to a police officer locally, he didn't know what Netflix was so I won't even try to explain phishing to them and how I got this information on the perp.

> This is why constant government intervention is necessary, to break up monopolies and restore competition. A government that refuses to engage in trust-busting is broken.

Conversely, more regulations mean more monopolies due to larger first-mover advantages, and the only viable route is to build until you get bought by a parent company who can sort out the admin.

Constant government intervention isn't what makes competition. It being worth it to start and build a company without, in the slim chance you make it, being a verbal and financial punching bag for future politicians, is.

Socialism is a _very_ broad term that ranges from anarcho syndicalism and libertarian socialism to democratic socialism, market socialism and many others. The key commonality of these is that you have some form of worker owned economy AKA you have some say and direct responsibility in all aspects of life, including your work.

What is described here is some variant of state capitalism or state monopoly capitalism, which is an extremely controversial form in socialist circles: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_capitalism
