You're repeating a false narrative which was commercially financed in order to promote alternatives (ironically). Bitcoin absolutely is electronic cash.

We've seen the alternative play out in forks that have become completely centralized as a result of ignoring the tradeoffs with the technology in use, and as a result have been undermined with "functionality" like confiscation transactions (transactions that let miners take any coins they choose).

What bitcoin isn't is a paypal clone. That already exists and it's not of substantial value to the world to add another centralized high volume payments rail. It's absolutely fine that people also want to use it that way, but optimizing for that case can't come at the expense of the security properties that make Bitcoin interesting in the first place. Alternatives that make different tradeoffs do exist, and I think the results speak for themselves.
> I might think about adding a GRUB-bootable rescue ISO

I do exactly what you describe with grub2-filemanager: I keep a NTFS partition on every drive, with a few ISO files: each can be >4G (unlike with a VFAT partition like the EFI partition)

In case the UEFI boot fails, grub2-filemanager is the next entry in the boot order.

Having everything inside an ISO is easier for maintenance. I often have Ubuntu LTS and the Windows install ISO: it contains a Windows PE that can be useful for rescue (chkdsk etc)
Beware of having too-small fingerprint hashes though, or not checking enough of the digits.

Nah, it's the only one that makes sense.

Cash based commerce should just be rounded to the 1/10th dollar not the 1/100th dollar; there's just no need for such precision.

I'd just announce that while still legal tender, the penny, nickle, and quarter won't be minted any longer except in low volumes for collectors, and that cash transactions may be rounded down to the nearest 10th dollar if proper change is not available.

IE a cup of coffee costing $4.17 would cost $4.10 if paying cash. I suspect vendors would just update the cost of everything to land on the 1/10th increment.

I guess you may need to worry about people playing arbitrage games with metered things like gasoline, but even there it's probably just a marginal problem.

Dime is a weird word; it doesn't convey that it's a tenth of a dollar, does it?

[edited to add examples and digression on gasoline]

One problem is that we don't have the production capacity to produce that much battery capacity yet. Battery production is rapidly ramping up, but that will take time.
[musl is] slower than glibc, and in occasionally difficult to predict spots

Deterrence: it would make a lot of inattentive drivers take driving a bit more seriously if jail time could be the result of irresponsibility behind the wheel.

Or give those who negligently kill with their cars a choice: serve the jail time for your negligent homicide, or give up your license for life. That would still have a deterrent effect while not being life-ruining (just life-inconveniencing)
The Tesla thing feels like a bit of a red herring. Killing anyone with a car is basically just an "oopsie" in terms of US law.

It is the opposite. Amazon would have released MongoDB as a service, same as they do for PostgreSQL or MySQL. As MongoDB changed license they implemented DocumentDB instead.

Note AWS significantly contributes to PostgreSQL and MySQL communities (though you could always want even more) but of course does not to MongoDB. While this is fine for MongoDB Inc I think it is not great for MongoDB community at large
> Then we can actually determine where the problem is, and the scope of it.

Unpopular opinion: there probably isn't a problem? None of these system is going to be perfectly safe, but there's quite a bit of evidence at this point that they're all safer, as actually used (which, yes, includes some misuse) than a human driver is at doing the same task.

No one wants to hear that though, so instead we take "where the problem is" as a prior and continue arguments like this ad nauseum.

So did Russian destroyers in the Black Sea - it only takes one missile to get through, and so far the US didn't even confirm that US ships were the target.
To what degree would a non-spinning, non-moving black hole necessarily produce even very weak gravitational waves? Would some be produced as matter/energy reaches it? If so, would no gravitational waves at all be produced if nothing was reaching it, hypothetically? (I suppose these same questions apply to all massive objects.)

I used to work at Google, I got over the initial 'gee we're pretty nice and concerned' thing, but would like to gently point out the tendency of people to be slightly histrionic and misinformed about it. The gap between what it was, briefly, and the confidence you have in its intent and current state are quite wide. Certainly well-intentioned and appreciated, but ultimately alarmist and inaccurate.

Safe and affordable nuclear reactors have been available for 40+ years. France has been operating an existence proof with “obsolete” reactor designs for a long time.

The cost overruns are a political problem.

Having said that, the cost of nuclear is lower-bounded by the cost of the turbines and generators. Those exceeded the cost of solar 5-10 years ago. (i.e., if I give you a perpetual motion machine that ~turns a crank~ (edit: generates heat; turning a crank would eliminate the turbine) at a wattage of your choosing, you still can’t use it to provide cheaper power than solar).

However, off peak generation still isn’t cheaper than everything else. Once you plan for “a cloudy weather front parks over our region”, the cost of energy storage is still prohibitive-ish.

In the long term, I think we’ll move to nuclear plants that can rapidly respond to demand (this is a solved problem), since that’s cheaper and cleaner than batteries, and much safer and cleaner than coal.

Edit: Nuclear is probably cheaper than provisioning region-scale batteries for a week of supply during depressed generation and higher than average demand.
Dennard scaling stopped years ago. There's definitely room at the bottom for different topologies — probably 5–10 generations worth. But! These are probably 5 year steps, not two year steps. Also, there's just as much room for the improvement of HW design as there is in peeling off SW abstraction layers above the HW.
PVC most definitely does not. It is definitely UV susceptible.

Edit to include reference:
"Manufacturers suggest a thin coat of a latex based paint to protect pipe from discoloration and any other adverse effects that may occur. Choose a white or light colored paint and cover any areas that will be outdoors. This will shield that outer layer of plastic and keep your pipes functioning well for years."

> There's definitely things they tried to improve on that... weren't really improvements. The way "assemblies" are matched in .NET is much more sophisticated- the goal there was to try to kill DLL hell. It evolved into the Global Assembly Cache, which is sort of the Windows Registry of DLLs. Not a huge fan of those bits.

The Global Assembly Cache did not make the jump to the modern .NET (Core). There was the thing called `dotnet store`, but it’s broken since .NET 6: https://github.com/dotnet/sdk/issues/24752

The assembly redirection hell has also been greatly reduced there.

Most new cars are sold with features roughly in parity with Autopilot. If this was a problem, we’d already see it in pedestrian injury statistics.

There is no Iranian navy or air force to speak of. It's an irrelevant force. Iran projects power using proxies and using missiles, none of which are easily disabled by stand-off strikes.

You could look at liability insurance rates. If the same driver has a lower insurance rate for a car with a certain automated system, then that system probably makes driving safer.
Agreed.

For all the shit MongoDB gets, this is something that people should take a step back and recognize as very high in integrity, transparency, and trust.

I'm more inclined to do business with MongoDB because they've demonstrated these principles first-hand.
ACT-R is a laudable effort in formalizing a model of human cognition. It is one of the very few concrete models of human cognition there is.

I would say it is likely that importing it would be the most cost-effective option, so it’ll still be used heavily. I imagine it’ll only fall heavily in usage if its manufacturing is outlawed in the places where importing it from would be cheap. I think that is pretty unlikely.

And if production is banned, industry is going to likely want to find something else to do with the input materials, which could easily be exporting it to where the production gets outsourced to.
Great, so I get a default judgment against me! Thank goodness there's no discovery for the default judgment ... but in the penalty phase?

I wonder if the industry could economically rearrange itself to produce and consume vinyl chloride in the same plant — go straight from the feedstock (ethylene and chlorine?) to PVC resin in the same plant. This could avoid needing to transport and store the stuff.
In Russia the smallest coins are practically out of circulation, the price tags are still in x.99 but rounded at checkout.
Too many confounding variables. People want to know if these systems are safe. Should be trivial for a regulatory agency to make this happen.
Seriously. Tesla loyalists will say there’s net fewer accidents because of Autopilot, and maybe there are, but it’s still Tesla’s responsibility to prevent the system from being misused or entering dangerous situations, whether through negligence or ignorance. Hopefully the recent recall was a wake up call.
Removing a negligent driver’s license turns their next speeding ticket or red light camera into driving on a suspended or revoked license, which in some places carries the possibility of jail time.

> Saying musk is non-standard is a serious allegation.

No, it isn't. It's the GP's opinion.

Standard has a few different meanings, including something typically or commonly used. As in "GNU Libc has been the standard C library used by Linux distributions since 1991." That would be, you know, a statement of fact. Musl is, at best, a niche option used by a few distros.
That is only part of the CVSS scoring system. Not only do you need near-physical access (i.e. not open to the internet, already drops the rating significantly), it requires the victim to interact with a suspicious prompt, which basically drops it to the level of a phishing email (i.e. not CVSS 8.8).

More seriously though, I think so. Many users would do very well by having their home dir separate from the OS and an easy way to restore the OS.

The Debian installer seems unable to pick up my LUKS/LVM/separate home partition setup it created, and this adds some friction when I want to reinstall.
There will come a day when cars truly drive themselves and still get into accidents, and I’m willing to bet that car manufacturers will somehow have zero liability. They should be held accountable just like any driver would.

Continuing your analysis - vehicles magically switched to this system overnight and the system only killed 100 people per day. Huge win. But then you find out that the drivers of those 100 daily accidents were all browsing their phone when the accidents happened. Would we ban phone usage while using autopilot? And if we did ban phone usage while using autopilot, and someone was using their phone… should they go to jail?

I expect the 125 people who are killed today have a high factor of alcohol being involved, and our society doesn’t take drunk driving lightly. Those drivers would certainly go to jail. Why would phone use be any more accepted if the death rate suddenly dropped to 124, or, as in your hypothetical situation, 100?

Thats what people say who have grown up with the system. If you grew up with the metric system in day to day life then you'd say the same.

eg A Metre is a distance between two held out hands. A litre is half a 2l bottle. A kg is the same weight as a litre of water or a small bag of something like sugar. I instinctively know how hot 10, 15 20 or 30 degrees is.

I grew up with 20 and 30cm rulers so I can picture how big they are. At school we had various weights around. Stuff is sold in metric weights.

Except that studies show over and over that increasing punishments doesn't work as a deterrence method. Increasing the likelihood of getting caught/facing punishment is far more effective than increasing the punishment. Unfortunately, in this case, you'd have to target behaviors contributing to pedestrian fatalities rather than the fatalities themselves since that's so infrequent and unlikely for a given driver to adjust their behavior.

Both the framing and the colors were the first two things that immediately struck me. The colors reminded me a bit of Leica glass that I use on my A7s, and on his site he mentions Leica Q2, so bingo.

Leica glass is generally on the "cold" side; e.g. I use also Zeiss lenses and they show much warmer tones and also have a different tonal reproduction (i.e. darker / brighter parts) where the Leica stuff seems to be less "dramatic". Maybe that helps already as a general idea what to try out.

A lot of comments here but I have still never seen people talk about the absolutely perfect use case for a block chain.

I've played a lot of Hearthstone over the past decade, and one thing that I've loved about it is Battlegrounds, to the extent where I have stopped playing the traditional meta where you have to build actual decks. Battlegrounds is somewhat similar to the draft meta in MtG and YGO where on a turn by turn basis, you get selection of cards to draft, but with a certain economic limit of cards to pull. It corrects for "buying" your way in and instead focuses ELO on ramping correctly and inflects an RTS flavor on the game. I enjoy it a lot and I kinda wonder why such a flavor on gameplay hasn't similarly taken hold of the other classic CCGs. What am I missing or misunderstanding?

“I usually steer away from projects which are defined by what they are not. It seems to build a community whose roots are based in hostility.”

This is a somewhat ironic indictment of a project opting to avoid GNU. In fact, your quote could serve as a valid argument to avoid GNU. I cannot think of a project more completely defined by what it is not. I would certainly find it difficult to argue that GNU and its founder have not been a source of discord and hostility. The Open Source movement is a direct response to the hostile politics of GNU and Free Software.

In the case of Chimera Linux though, the founder has been pretty clear that they made their choices for engineering reasons and not political ones. There are lots of GNU packages in Chimera if you want them.
