> Any tips on how to run a site on a 5 dollar vps?

I don't know... from what I've used of Python it is pretty memory heavy and doesn't do well left alone unsupervised. I could be wrong but that was my experience trying various Py web frameworks.

My app servers were all $5 VPS with only nginx, PHP/php-fpm, and Memcached. PHP was cached, nginx assets were cached, and data was cached in RAM with Memcached which was updated from remote DB server on cache expire.

I would then stack as many of those behind a load balancer as needed (nginx as reverse proxy basically) and scaled up to serving 100's of terabytes of data monthly and billions of page views.

So while it was "$5 VPS" it was really a small cloud of them behind another $5 vps as a load balancer with a $25 database server supporting the data. Still cheaper than Amazon for equivalent loads.
“Enteric methane emissions — emissions produced in the rumen of livestock — are responsible for as much as 14.5 per cent of the annual greenhouse gases produced by human activity.”

Eating seaweed reduces cow methane by 86%. Thus, if every livestock animal on the planet ate seaweed in its diet, we might cut effective GHG output by 10% or so. That’s a huge dent in the problem.

I am not accounting for the CO2 emissions involved in seaweed harvesting.
I'd say that's a pretty good guess. I absolutely signed their ToS and I for sure did not read any of it before signing, so egg on my face.

But if this is in fact what happened, I'd be curious to know how much money my name, email and address sold for. A dollar? 2 bucks? Let's go crazy and say it's $5. As far as I know there are no free tiers at iFit. I pay $396 a year for my family account. This incident severely undermines my trust in them. I'm no sales/marketing guru, but selling paying customer's data for pennies on the dollar seems like a severely ham-fisted move to me.
> because referring to someone you've never met by just their last name is really sketchy

That's an interesting observation. Since you are talking about the order of names, do you mean "last name" as in surname or given name? Because the document does use surnames (which is what "last name" means in western order) to refer to people, apart from the first time when their full names are used.

An either way, in what sense is that sketchy? I know that referring to people by their given name only is a sign of intimacy, but I don't associate either with sketchiness. Do you think it imply sketchiness in the speaker's relation to the spoken, or sketchiness with regard to the subject themself?

Their point was that the US media downplays its own atrocities while playing up those of its enemies.

Their statements seem reasonable in that context. What you’re claiming is outright denial is more like hedging, and an open admission that they don’t trust the source.

It reflects poor judgment on his part, but what you’re arguing isn’t in good faith.

Denying the holocaust today is reprehensible. Denying it in 1943 was understandable, given the limited facts at the time. Similarly, denying the Cambodian genocide in a book in 1979, literally right in the middle of it, isn’t the same as denying it today.

Speed and performance has never been an issue I noticed with Teams on my work machine. UX is also fine. Most competing apps are at feature and performance saturation IMO. They all do what we need except for some nitpicky things. I have switched to using self hosted Nextcloud Talk and sometimes Mattermost and Jitsi because of the sensitivity of some of my meetings. With Teams and similar services on some far away server I cannot assure participants that nobody else including AI is listening in.
It's a good piece of software for what it is, but the tool is .kbdx based and like all such solutions tends to handle shared secrets rather poorly. It also handles adding new secrets for new accounts less elegantly than Apple's own built-in password manager which has a nice flow for adding anonymous forwarding email addresses and contact details for new accounts so long as you commit to the cult of iCloud.

Still if you need a multi-platform password manager that performs well on Apple devices there's nothing I can recommend since you can just use .kdbx tools on other platforms and strongbox itself has highly reliable multi-cloud sync, extremely fast input of secrets, a better security model than keychain itself has, and even has MacOS Chrome support (abliet hacky support) if you feel like trusting the plugin. It makes Bitwarden and other Keepass clients feel clunky in comparison.
Add a description please. I get it's a state machine. I get states have state-tags, transitions can be ran via these transition-tags. What is your philosophy behind this library. Why should I give a fuck that states and transitions are strings rather than enums?

The point is that nobody can really say that all tether is bought this way, that there is a genuine flow from cash to the tether company to exchanges, and there are very reasonable suspicions that tether is just magicked into existence for use on friendly/complicit exchanges to help control the price.

Perhaps I should have said it's less a question of how tether is bought and more a question of if tether can be said to be bought, at its point of origin.

> For instance, the British starved the local textile industry in Bengal (which had accounted to 30% of global textile market) by exporting the raw cotton back home and dumping the products in India.

I mean, don't forget literally destroying the textile industry in India through a combination of targeted maiming and outright genocide. For centuries, Indian textiles had been the most sought-after across Europe and Asia, to the point where even today many modern words for textiles are Indian toponyms.

The textile portion of the British industrial revolution is pretty simple: they used slave labor to produce their raw materials (imported from the US) and destroyed their competition through violence and force, ensuring they could sell at virtually any price for nearly pure profit.
Fearing that if you don't keep working your family will starve doesn't seem like an innate gender difference but a cultural problem. The new fathers I have known have all wanted to spend time with their babies.

> I’ll trust my eyes over what’s written in Wikipedia.

Wikipedia editors generally exhibit honest behaviour that your preferred propaganda outlet handler Chaya Raichik conspicuously lacks. The authors of the wiki page haven't sicced an online mob on anyone, I'd count them fairly trustworthy by comparison.

If you'd truly like to use your eyes I suggest the gigantic multi-paragraph list of abusive behaviour on behalf of Libsoftiktok, all replete with citations for proof so you can be certain it's the truth.

Righteous anger is a very dangerous human emotion, these accounts exist to exploit that part of you. I think anyone who makes it their business model to tell you who you should feel angry about should be treated with utmost suspicion.

I mean the lesson I'd take from that is "don't use a buggy compiler". If you can't trust your tools then it's very hard to make something you can trust with them. That changing the code means it compiled in an incorrect way that your test case happened to hit doesn't mean the previous version of the code was being compiled correctly, or was correct code.

We don’t really know how the emergent behavior arises, because the CNN weights are not programmed by us.
The real downside to reference counting is concurrency. If the Reference Counter lives in one Core A's L1/L2 cache, then Core B needs to write to the reference count, the cache line is invalidated, and Core A needs to re-fetch it again. You get two cores fighting over the cache line. Everything still works correctly, but it causes some delays if each core is constantly updating the reference counter.

One workaround is giving the threads their own private reference counter (making sure they're on different cache lines), and updating the shared reference counter only when their private reference count reaches 0. Not only do you stop the fighting, you don't even need atomic operations to update the private reference counts anymore.

Started that company about 10 years ago. It's a social network for online publishers. Thankfully, sites join mostly through word of mouth and advertisers mostly set their campaigns to renew monthly, so I usually focus on product development.

I also recently launched https://www.forourschool.org

A free platform for schools that they can use to run their activity based fundraisers (e.g. Read-A-Thons). I build it for my kids' school but made it so any school can use it. Now that my kids' Read-A-Thon is over (increased their donations by almost 50% yoy!), I am working on updates to it and hopefully bringing it to more schools.
I take your point, but my issue is more with the fact that I can point to the recipient email address of the email and make a pretty good case that my name, address and email address all originated from iFit, either by them selling my data, or by their systems being breached.

Another user also pointed out that the fake invoice was for exercise equipment - the same general category as iFit. I don't think that is a coincidence.

> Interestingly Rigveda is comparatively easy to understand compared to the newer texts.

I've found this to be the case also, despite the free-wheeling and less regular grammatical style - because the Rigvedic hymns usually have pretty concrete subject matter - like getting motivated to steal (or perhaps "free") some cows held by an adversary.

Of course any number of other more abstract or esoteric interpretations can be read into the hymns, but I prefer the simpler and more earthly interpretation.

When I say 'end user' I guess I am talking about the sheer amount of Javascript loading and computation they no longer had to put up with jumping through waterfalls.

Square Kufic is easy to read for native readers when you add diacritical marks and keep the general order along a path. You'll often see words or phrases repeated or flipped to make cool geometric designs, which is easy to spot for native readers but often confusing for others.

The Reem Kufi font [0] is even easier to read and rather popular on trendy Arabic websites and publications.

Tech was less scammy in the past because it was OK with sustainable profits and long term building of a company selling actual products. The products were more basic, and less vapour. If they were vapor, 99% of the time was because they couldn't deliver a promised more complex program in time, not because the concept they were selling itself was totally vague and ill-thought out.

Starting somewhere around the 90s and ever since, they desperately need to pull a rabbit every few years to prop up the stocks.

They didn't fall apart, exactly. They're still living as Amish and they're moving to be closer to their families:

Now more people decided to move back to Iowa and Minnesota, so kind of for unity's sake.”

Use the service resource in Kubernetes to order a load balancer in different clouds. You need different tags, they function and are configured differently, and you still need to learn how it works in your cloud.

Contrast this with the contract* K8 tries to sell you, which is "describe the intent and we'll figure it out for you" and you'll realize the cloud providers bunged up this whole thing.

That's not to say K8 is perfect, but if you think for even a second that wiring up resources outside your kubernetes cluster will be lower-friction, kubernetes is falling short of it's goals.
Your whole comment ignores seemingly the entirety of human history other than the (sanitized) history of Western Europe and the US.

> Sex within marriage, no divorce, marriage and sex for procreation, reliance on extended family and local community, no industrialization/urbanization, social isolation, religion as unifying principle.

All of these things have been present in the most war-torn and unstable societies (ex: much of the Middle East, some of the areas around present-day China and Russia).

> Hippy communities on the other hand tended to be built around sexual promiscuity or at least lack boundaries around sex and marriage, and subsequently suffer commensurate relationship/family breakdown.

There are cultures that existed for hundreds of years without the concept of monogamous marriage. Monogamy doesn't guarantee familial stability, nor does promiscuity. Domestic partnership (what we would call marriage) was a familial and economic relationship, not always a guarantee of sexual exclusivity.

The second-largest empire in history, the Mongol Empire, had an enormous amount of polygamy and sexual promiscuity.

The Ottoman Empire, Ethiopian Empire, and many other large (and long-lasting) empires practiced polygamy.

Even ignoring all of that, in the US, most people cheat on their significant others[1]. There's no reason to think that's a modern phenomenon, either.
