The number of real time electronic transactions is virtually guaranteed to increase. This is not only a big problem now, it's becoming a bigger problem over time. I consider the unwillingness of the bitcoin network to increase blocksize to be a critical flaw.

Edit: The problem is not 100mb is too small for the future. The problem is that just like we cannot go from 1mb to 100mb today, we would have no ability to go from 100mb to 1000mb when needed.
Right right, I'm sure it's nothing to do with any prominent political figures stoking paranoia about Chinese communists to rile up a wilfully ignorant voter base.
Yeah, but that issue also applies to your bet. Which probably also explains why this problem exists (much easier to kick the can when you probably won't be alive to see the consequences...)
> They accepted copies of my American credit history and bank statements, but had no real way to verify their truth

I'm skeptical here, given how closely the US and Canada work together, both US and Canadian banks share an incredible amount of info with each other and not solely because of cross-border commerce. There is also a non-trivial number of US citizens living and working in Canada so there are services available to them given their special tax requirements.
That does help for sure - I have friends who are from or have been to Kenya, Zambia, Mali, Gambia, South Africa, Egypt, Morocco, Somalia and a few others, so perhaps I've got a bit of a head start. If you're starting from scratch, one enjoyable way is to read their Wikipedia articles when they come up in the news, that way you don't just get the sensationalised news stories and can form more rounded associations with the country.
I launched a contract review tool about year ago[1].

The legal liability is an issue in several countries but contract generation can also be. If you are providing whatever is defined as legal services and are not a law firm, you will have issues.

Oh its certainly not foolproof, but better than what we usually do here in the states.
Compare this with a language like python -- you'll end up writing a lot of tests which do nothing but assert types of python objects. Compared to rust, the compiler is 'proving' that your code is set up with the right types. Switching from python to Rust, there's tests you don't have to write and you get immediate validation on that class of problems them via the compiler.
It's nowhere close for me since I can clearly see the individual pixels and aliasing of the Quest 3 screen.

But I cannot see the individual pixels and aliasing on my TVs, computer monitors, and projector screens.

The PPD (pixels per degree) of the Quest 3 is about 25. The average human eye has the vision capability of about 60 PPD+.

Plus after using OLED TVs and monitors I can't go back to using an LCD for video, so the contrast in dark scenes looks poor and washed out to me in the quest.

In this regard the AVP is much better as it's using OLED panels with near-infinite contrast.

Otherwise, at home I am normally used to movies on my 150" 4K native JVC projector setup where I sit about 11ft away from it giving me about a 53 degree horizontal FOV. I don't want it to be any larger of my FOV, and I wouldn't want to in VR either.
I mean, it wasn't any more or less slow than the other models, and it was made of gold. I don't know the depreciation though.
In 2000s we were talking that `snowflake` servers are bad.
New generation is re-learning the same with k8s, which can be summarized as 'snowflake k8s clusters are bad'.
Fundamentally it's the same problem.

Telum is attached to the L2/L3 so it's that bandwidth as long as the model fits into it. Afterwards you go to memory and you really don't want to compare DDR4 modules with RAIM against HBM3 or the likes that a current compute GPU uses. Latency might be closer but you mentioned bandwidth.

I'm comfortable recommending broad-spectrum CBD with little or no THC as an anxiety aid.

Not all cannabis has THC, high THC (the anxiety-inducing part, for most).

Nor should it!
A cup of coffee can be something very different from person to person and situation to situation.

Espresso? Weak americano? Strong? And then even: there is often more caffeine in a cup of filter coffee than in an espresso. Weird but true. So it differs quite a lot what you drink.

I know someone who drinks 15 cups a day, but they are very very weak. And another drank 20 stong ones a day. Myself I used to drink 10 easily, not anymore
Symbols aside, dissemination of biased, misinformative, and arguably harmful information is not necessarily done with Ill intent.
Actual crafts, as in hand crafts are either wildly expensive or imported from the 3rd world. You can make them yourself, but then it's probably expensive not just in equipment but in time.

With software craftsmanship, I think there are the same options.

I don't think anyone forgot, so much as craftsmanship of all kinds got more expensive if you want it done here.

And the money seems to matter to a lot of people more than ideal quality does. Far fewer people buy a (reasonably-priced if expensive) hand-made table from Amish craftsmen than buy (overpriced but cheap) Ikea garbage.
The inability to solve global warming is itself the result of billions of poor and middle-class people wanting to consume more energy (sometimes indirectly) in order to improve their quality of life. All else being equal, most regular people worldwide would prefer to live in a large private house filled with high-quality manufactured goods, eat a lot of meat, and drive a large comfortable private car. You can argue that this is irrational or unhealthy or that no one really needs so much stuff, but good luck convincing people that they should vote to voluntarily reduce their standard of living in furtherance of somewhat nebulous global goals.
There's a "Dead Man's Switch" that gets triggered in the absence of you fulfilling some action to keep it from triggering. Once you for whatever reason cannot suppress the trigger, the switch is activated and whatever actions from it are performed, like send a letter to a bunch of people detailing some secret thing. Purpose is so your adversaries are constantly in check and can't destroy you. An example is that I was hoping infamous island owner Jeffery Epstein would have one that would reveal all the wrongdoings of the many elites in the event of him being captured or dying. To my knowledge, no such switch though. And also people don't seem to care much about powerful people doing gross things.

I'm curious: what do you do for developer environments? Do you have a need to spin up a partial subgraph of microservices, and have them talk to each other while developing against a slice of the full stack?
Most of what executives do is just rubber stamping, too. I could easily imagine a milquetoast executive who just does what others agree on. There is definite room for "leadership" in the legislative ranks, and it happens all the time with various legislators championing bills or protests.
Of course, and one of my e-mails also exists since almost 25 years. But (unless I own my own domain, as someone suggested, and don't fail renewing it), it's hard to predict what will happen in such a long timespan. Not quite, but a bit like betting that I'll still be living at the same street address.
That said, we're supposedly overdue for a field reversal, which may make the whole field go out on its own:

So satellites or no, something might happen to it anyway.
Sorry for the confusion - I was referring to the energy requirements of the interstellar mission, not the power generation of the world.
As soon as men get tasked with cleaning their own toilet, the benefits of the peeing sitting start to rapidly increase. After second or third week the idea of peeing standing in your own toilet sounds like an absurd alien speech :) .
Heh, I hope they introduce typing on your lap or a desk for touch typers. It seems like it should be feasible with good hand tracking and maybe some AI. So not so much where you touch, but which fingers are doing what. If passwords can be deduced by desk vibrations, it should be possible...
I'm wagering that these people are just chronically under-slept, using higher amounts of coffee to compensate. The link between chronic poor sleep and dementia is well established.

Especially considering that the author seems to be using some Azure specific features anyway:

> While being vendor-agnostic is a great idea, for us, it came with a high opportunity cost. After a while, we decided to go all-in on AKS-related Azure products, like the container registry, security scanning, auth, etc. For us, this resulted in an improved developer experience, simplified security ( centralized access management with Azure Entra Id), and more, which led to faster time-to-market and reduced costs (volume benefits).
The worst part of lightning is not even the centralization but the capital inefficiency. By definition, any money locked in a payment channel can not be used for anything else.
I used to drink one liter of coffee a day, and I would prepare it in a measured cup by the way so it's not an exaggeration.
We're starting to use k8s as a small team because the simpler offerings with GPUs available don't meet our needs. It's clear they're either built for someone else or are less reliable than an EKS cluster would be.
Not a native English speaker, but when exactly did "lessons" get replaced by "learnings"?

To me the latter always sounds very unsophisticated.
When people focus on the positives, they aren't doing so to negate the negatives. They are doing so because many people are just factually wrong about things, like saying life was better in the 50s or something, which is just objectively false. One of the best ways to strive forward is optimism of the future and optimism about how far we've come; looking and longing for the past is not a great way to move forward or solve problems. That's one thing I didn't care about the opening statement. Sort of missed that point.
> So if the housing market crashes, the banks have no recourse

The housing market must first crash before the problem is tangible, and there's no sign of that happening.
k8s is half-baked at best but people enjoy copy-paste yaml recipes, which half-baked products lend themselves to, so it is loved

Huh. Well that's conclusive.
I don't agree that it's just marketing. I'm not saying their products are perfect, they certainly have flaws. But the maniacal focus on quality is palpable in their products.

Play a Nintendo game start to finish, you will be very hard pressed to find ANY bugs or glitches. Like you have to hunt really hard to try to find them, they are usually an extremely polished experience. The same cannot be said for most other developers. I LOVE BG3, but it's certainly not as bug-free as a Nintendo game. Same with their hardware + system software, it never crashes, and has a very controlled "walled garden" feel.

There's a reason people use the term "Disney-quality animation". Because it's extremely polished and looks miles better than the competition. Watch the Family Guy episode where the drew part of the episode in Disney style and you can see the difference in action.

Isn't this the point of decoupling your compute and datastores using CSI with disaggregated storage Kubernetes? So long as you keep your datastores available, whatever compute you can manage to attach it from Kubernetes can run whatever you truly need at capacities that you can handle with that level of hardware. Similarly, you could scale down the workloads on all the machines so they generated less heat without turning anything off at the expense of performance.
Spare me the GPT-generated pomposity, and try making an argument in your own voice instead. Are you seriously going to claim that all war has been caused by governments and private interests have never engaged in violence? What nonsense.

With an American SSN, one could dump 1,000 queries of numbers with only 1 of them being the client's actual SSN so the logs don't reveal as much. Still, though, it's a Catch 22 to find the thing you don't want found by using that thing.

FWIW, with more guns than people, the USA is the most armed country in the world. It follows that being robbed at gunpoint isn't something that is frequent in a country where there's only 1 gun per 40 people. The same people arguing about violent crime in the USA could do themselves a huge favor by being open to more gun control, but by and large, they are against it.

As Sean mentioned, not only have we increased in total population we have also changed where we are living. Lots of small towns have seen their populations decrease, with some completely disappearing. Large neighborhoods of cities like Detroit and elsewhere essentially emptied. We need more housing and we need to shift housing resources to where the demand is.

There are loads of cheap houses in the USA. They're just in places where most people don't want to live.

Here's a cheap house:

What is there to be convinced of? The loggers weren’t hiding their practices as they weren’t doing anything illegal. This is well documented and studied.

Tech Bro's in the 1990's [video]
How do they think they’re supposed to do their job if they don’t even have a way to identify you in the first place. What is comical is your blend of ignorance of the technical needs of the product and arrogance to suggest that it should be done in this “magical anonymous way” that nobody seems to grok.
As a native English speaker, in my opinion it's incredibly pretentious.
I have a Quest 2, 3, and Pro, and have been doing spatial computing for years now, and the Quest 3 is nowhere near the point of diminishing returns for resolution. The Quest 3 is a relatively terrible monitor replacement, with a PPD of 25. The AVP has a PPD around 50. Around 56 is the point where diminishing returns happen (but with the edge detectors in your eyes mostly left dormant).
The data/photos should be in the ERP/MES.
> I’m not seeing the problem.

The problem is what is the incentive to keep working once you've earned a house and bach? Why bother save for retirement if your savings are to be taken from you at a significant percentage per year? A few percent is a huge penalty (see index funds versus mutual funds), and the wealth tax is on top of taxation of salary and dividends.

assets over $1m - a threshold the party thought would hit the wealthiest 6 per cent of New Zealanders. The higher [$2m] threshold means only the wealthiest 0.7 per cent of households will be targeted. The $2m threshold is a net figure, meaning people with mortgages and other debts would need $2m of equity before they began paying the tax.

I'm not talking about Labour, I'm talking about the Green's 2.5% wealth tax 2023: https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/wealth-tax-hikes-will...

And incentive is to borrow money on property which is whacko, and then next thing CGT will also be added.

Houses should be for living in, not financial instruments.

Yes, but there's Canada's climate. If you try to live in a tent outdoors in Canada you will likely die.
Problem is that you would have to do the logging in a very uneconomic way.

Basically you would want to leave the most profitable trees (big/old ones) and cut down all the small ones. This is because big trees don't really burn down and survive the fires for the most part. After a fire they provide a canopy stopping the forest from growing to be as dense in the future. With the less dense forest the fires after that won't be as intense.
Having fewer bricks could be considered a feature. There are definitely situations in which more constraints can increase creativity and happiness. For a long time, I preferred Dragon Quest Builders 1 (a Minecraft-style game) over its sequel for this reason. It's not unreasonable for people to be overwhelmed or put off by the tremendous variety of Lego available today.
Millions of potential intelligent beings that never get a chance to see the universe - I see that as a very sad thing.
I mean, we haven't eliminated child labour in most Western countries - there's still plenty of kids walking their neighbours dogs, babysitting, cleaning cars, delivering newspapers etc. I don't think "prevent all children from ever doing any work" is the standard expectation here.

And while it's not necessarily about child labour, they're very explicit that they won't call their chocolate slave-free, and I imagine similar logic applies to child labour: https://tonyschocolonely.com/uk/en/why-we-still-wont-say-wer...

EDIT: to be clear, exploitative child labour, and child labour at the expense of health, education, or resources are completely immoral. Children should work because they choose to and because they get something out of it, not because the industry needs all the hands it can get at in order to function. However, I dislike this idea of "but it's not perfect, so should we really support it?" The work that companies like Tony's do is incredibly important, and - slightly less importantly - they produce some of the best chocolate on the market (and also not at outrageous prices). So this clearly isn't a pipe dream of theirs that will never succeed.
That is a possibility. Another scenario is one in which you sign up to a service like Optery and submit a non-existent individual with fabricated information for PII removal; after about a month or so, this fabricated individual started showing up as a possible person that lived at my address when I was trying to get a quote from Progressive.

So, seems like somewhere in the midst of this process, one of the 240 brokers that Optery sends your information to get it removed, someone aggregated it, sold it to Progressive and in the underground realm of data brokers and buying and selling data, someone unfortunately (or fortunately?) is now targeting 'Paige Notfound' and 'Meg A. Byte'.

I got the last laugh! :)

Ooofff. No bolts at all! How did this pass Boeing QA?
I setup Pi Hole with tailscale on an inexpensive cloud server. It is configured to serve DNS requests over the tailscale interface. Also added tailscale IP address of the Pi Hole to tailscale DNS override to ensure that all devices on the tailnet use it without any additional reconfiguration. For redundancy, I have multiple DNS servers on my tailnet. Family and friends can use it without worrying about portability and be protected at all times, especially on cell networks.
