Not really. It was a good point but it wasn't clearcut.

Of course I don't think the VScode situation is great but it's far from being "the biggest enemy of FOSS".

That's why I was wondering if there were any other recent events. I've not been keeping track, truly.

Other than crime the only other use-case I've seen for crypto is for getting money into Russia because the sanctions mean my English teacher friend in Vladivostok can't use normal banks to accept payments for the online distance teaching thing he does. But I could oversimplify this to "bypassing international sanctions" which might be a crime? Crypto mainly seems to be useful to people who can't or won't use normal banks, and those people are mostly criminals. People in Russia prefer bitcoin over rubles (even before the sanctions) but that's more an indictment of the ruble than an endorsement of bitcoin.

What am I missing here? What are the cool things bitcoin does that something like visa cannot? I've read Satoshi's paper and Vitalik Buterin's book. I want crypto to work, and I'm really searching hard for a problem crypto solves for which we don't already have a better solution.
I'd wager that most rural places about the size of Vicksburg (~20k population) are "bad" in that same way. I'm sure there are a few exceptions, but none come to the top of my head.
… Wait, Stalinists/Maoists _self_ identify as tankies now?!

I’m only really familiar with it as a term used by democratic socialists for Stalinists, and occasionally Maoists.

(I wouldn’t have thought actual tankies would be too thrilled with the current Chinese regime, anyway.)
The controls for this sub are a shitty Logitech controller you can buy off the shelf in Walmart, and a single button.
Dall-e experimental is very good (Bing Image creator). I only prefer midjourney to it.
Gotcha, thanks for the clarification. And your point stands; I'm probably one of dozens who has gone to the trouble of fixing the wobbling mess that is most stock RV suspension.

Yes it does, if you use it competently. It's not the OS, it's you.
Self taught makes it difficult in Germany unless you have demonstrable and very good experience to show or have excellent references. Might be easier for startups, but for corporates you'll be likely filtered immediately without a bachelor's/master's.

Also good luck finding a reasonably priced flat in metropolitan areas.

Salaries are a lot lower than in the US, 100k+ are uncommon even among C-levels.
opinions on the merits aren't necessarily important in assessing the behavior of a regulatory agency

crypto can hypothetically be every bit a brilliant new wheel paradigm as the marketers would suggest (it isn't, but whatever) and that won't stop entities with legal authority to eviscerate all current corporate entities associated with it from doing so (they are).

ya'll wanna believe that binance and coinbase can fight the massive legal assault on their business practices and come out on top simply by virtue of the nobility of the crypto ideal, go right ahead

I like how simple Firefly’s images are, like something you’d want to work with in Photoshop. Dalle-2 looks terrible. Midjourney is still my favorite.
Still in the UK, albeit not for much longer unless something changes dramatically.

I say it feels like a third-world country because the usual luxuries you associate with a first-world country such as good infrastructure, law and order, a working healthcare system, etc are no longer there, yet you still pay for them (in the form of taxes).

People in important industries are striking because they can no longer afford to live. As a result those industries collapse. Medicine is especially bad - if you have any kind of health issue you must go private (and be able to afford it) if you don't want to lose your sanity and/or die while waiting for the NHS to actually do what it's meant to do.

The cost of living crisis has put everyone on edge - the general optimism that was felt around before the pandemic is no longer there. Businesses are closing left and right (I've seen multiple repossession notices on commercial property, businesses are outright failing and defaulting on their rents).

I have noticed more homelessness as well as general antisocial/criminal behavior; it's not a surprise, people are either pushed to the edge (where the risk/reward ratio of crime starts being worthwhile) or are finally catching on that law enforcement is dysfunctional and take advantage.

Property prices, especially rents are through the roof. Renting the same standard of property I currently have would cost me over twice as much - I'm actually wondering who is providing the demand for those units considering how bad the economy is... oligarchs? Property standards have always been terrible, so you must go upmarket and pay the overinflated rents if you don't want to live in a moldy shack that looks like a museum exhibit and will bankrupt you on heating bills alone. Buying outright makes no sense considering you can get much higher standards anywhere in Europe for the same price.
Ok for the OSHA fine, but what about civil and criminal liabilities.

I guess the OSHA thing is just a fine for not complying with some safety regulations, not for causing the death of someone. For the latter, someone may sue for criminal negligence, if justified.

This sounds like rose colored glasses. By AOL I don't mean AIM, I mean "AOL keyword [whatever]" sites, especially pre-opening-up-of-AIM, which was as walled garden and corporate as you could get compared to what the open web or Usenet was then. And Facebook beat MySpace in large part because of the comparative lack of control (and wasn't even "chat" in those days at all).

I personally don't place nearly as much value on diversity of clients to access centralized services as you. Isn't that exactly what led to that "Reddit apocalypse"? An illusion of openness with a giant corporate SPOF, just like all the other ones? Chosen by the kids of 10-15 years ago? If not for the transitory nature of Reddit becoming popular as the surge of the mobile migration catching people off guard, you probably never get the same appearance of openness in the first place - but as long as the content was centrally hosted, it was the same closed-garden story. Same with all the old no-longer-viewable picture tweets that relied on one or another flash-in-the-pan image hosting service... Reddit, Twitter, all of them were never anything but walled gardens, and people in the fading non-walled-gardens in the last 2010s certainly called that out.

Nor is thinking everyone else is a sellout anything new. Certainly not newer than the 90s. The target of that message was the huge number of people who always did buy the pop products in the first place. Nobody would care about raging against the machine if the machine wasn't dominant. And isn't it telling that all those generations still ended up going with The Man or becoming The Man? Maybe it isn't an effective approach.
I got the $450 adapter for my 2016; There's one charger I really wanted to use and otherwise I think it'll waste space in my trunk. I still haven't used it at that charger but I did test it at a CCS1 charger; it worked though it was a terrible experience - the CCS1 plug is silly huge, the payment processing was terrible, and it charged pretty slowly.

I think they're retrofitting the existing supercharger network to speak both "NACS" (really CCS1) and the OG supercharger protocol. My car, with the retrofit, will be able to (HA! good luck believing it'll actually work) charge at an EA or other DC Fast charger setup, possibly. Non-updated OG S/X cars will just get an error (probably I will also, because these other DC Fast chargers simply don't have skin in the game -- they're malicious compliance).

L2 will be nice -- I'll not have to use the dongle to charge at public chargers.

Three highly speculative predictions:

1. The courts are more likely than not to rule that many crypto-assets -- but not all -- should be regulated as investments. It won't be fun for a lot of crypto traders.

2. Over time, the usual giant financial institutions are bound to become the dominant market makers in crypto-assets. In all likelihood, one of them will end up buying Coinbase. Those giant financial institutions already know how to comply with regulatory bureaucracies worldwide, efficiently, at scale. Rinky-dink exchanges lacking the machinery for large-scale efficient compliance will not be able to compete and go out of business.

3. Bitcoin, which the SEC considers a commodity (it's explicitly excluded from the lawsuits), is bound to become even more dominant in terms of market capitalization. The longer Bitcoin survives, the more it will get adopted and integrated into the world's financial fabric, e.g., as a store of value. If this sounds far-fetched, consider that many smart and smart-sounding people have predicted Bitcoin's demise, and so far their arguments have been proven wrong: https://99bitcoins.com/bitcoin-obituaries/ .

Do we expect experts to not have informed opinions? You may disagree with his conclusions but I believe we want expert witnesses to tell us what they think. As a former crypto-optimist I think this is a totally reasonable conclusion to make about crypto given a decade of evidence.

I see! My intuition was that it would be hard to evaluate efficacy without RCTs - I assumed low effect sizes, which I guess is not necessarily true for many drugs.

Agreed that there should be a faster way to trial drugs and get them to market. Though I've heard that the "slowness" of the FDA is actually overstated; not sure how true that claim is.

> many of them are literally a 10 minute bus ride to downtown

Is that 10-minute bus ride a pleasant experience on a daily basis? If you live in a quiet part of the city but must commute back and forth to downtown during which you run a non-negligible risk of a particular unpleasant encounter, then you don't gain a whole lot by being in that quiet part.
I'm knocking on wood real hard with this one, but I'm going on about 20k miles in my 2013 Airstream with no incidents (bought in 2020). Only major thing I did since getting it was change the original tires and get the wheel bearings repacked. Cross country road trips was what led us to go with an Airstream and so far I haven't regret it a bit.
I really wouldn't call Vicksburg rural, it is actually small town urban serving a county with around 50k people (outside of Vicksburg like in Bovina is rural, however). Also, Vicksburg is fairly close to Jackson (40 minute drive?), but we all know things are much better over there.
It’s “Function as a Service”, Not “Functions Instead of a Service”
Yes. One of the usual YT channels had this interesting picture. Gas mileage is miles per gallon. Or in this case, do it the European way: l/100km. The unit of that is an area. Typically a rather small one, ca 0.1mm^2.

That's the area of a trench you have to dig along your path if you want to supply your car from the trench instead of your gas tank.

You can do around 100 miles a day on 70% and that’s more than enough for me the way I’m traveling. I have the extended capacity model. It also really depends on the route, with a lot of downhills you can probably get closer to 180 miles on 70%. On a cool night when you can just leave a window open on the trailer (so you don’t need to power it), you can get a full charge and that will get you around 200 miles a day while towing on something that has a decent amount of downhill.
Good god, it seems like y'all dropped the requirement for Stage 2 vapor recovery systems in 2011 [1] based on the pretense of onboard filters in vehicles being enough... meanwhile here in the EU, where many member countries already had national requirements for years prior to that, we passed that requirement in 2009 [2].

The US attitude, particular to expensive systems, on anything emissions related continues to negatively amaze me.

One thing I would strongly recommend. GET OFF STRIPE. Talk to a proper bank like USBank or Chase. It is not hard to integrate with their payment processor. They WILL send you through proper underwriting and will have your back. At least they had and continues to have mine with a firearms business.

Let me be also very clear. When you are going through underwriting, you will feel at times that this was a colossally bad idea, but it pays off its trouble in gold.

Sure - and the question is - do we as a society want to allow that, do we think it's worth the tradeoffs? Five years ago I think the answer was still "wait and see", I think it's reasonable by now to say "actually, no, it's not worth it".
Innovating at a big company without the control over the rewards (and a contract to back it up) is sort of a lame bargain. You end up with a low downside risk (cash) but your upside opportunity is whatever you've pre-negotiated. Even within sales, if you bring home a huge contract you're more likely to get fired and forced to arbitrate your 'bonus'. The entire system is a joke.

If you really want to do innovation and you don't need the resources of a huge company to do so, and you're risk adverse then... gosh I don't know what to say.

We had a Brother (I think) typewriter with a daisy wheel, it had a 16 character LCD panel so you could preview what you were typing and catch mistakes before it printed, but also had built in correction tape to erase mistakes. We had a couple wheels in different typefaces.

But I still preferred the Selectrics at school, that kerchunk with each character typed gave it a good feel and I could type much more accurately than the brother where the printing was disconnected from the typing.

US securities law effects all US citizens. In current state, they act as a moat for the most profitable investments in society. People claim that securities laws are there to prevent grandmas from getting scammed, but grandmas (and many others) still get scammed on the daily. I would rather them lose $5,000 from investing into a high profit potential startup that could 1000x, instead of a call center in a distant country. US securities laws are geared to give the privileged private knowledge and prevent the poor from getting wealthy in their current state.

> I think you might be surprised by how few people actually want to be business owners.

I'm not surprised by it at all (though I'm not the poster you were responding directly to--that poster might be, I don't know).

I'm just pointing out that you can't avoid the tradeoff I described: if you are not a business owner, you are putting yourself at the mercy of those who are, since you are going to have to be employed by one of them. At the end of the day, business risks are real and cannot be avoided, and those who do not want to be directly exposed to those risks must realize that they are forgoing the associated rewards.
Unfortunately I'm not sure there's much of an alternative here. If you want to capture more value you could have gone and done your own startup, but of course you would have needed access to data/code for your machine learning to learn off of, which may not have been possible outside of GitHub.

Can anyone think of some other pathway, other than trying to negotiate for more compensation, after proof of concept is delivered?
