Maybe not but then the next best thing is an exhaustive examination of what happened to Kansas when the libertarians took over, which takes several paragraphs and you're still left with a hazy picture because federal programs kept the state from collapsing completely. Anyway the entire ethos can be summarized in a single sentence: "I got mine, everyone else can go fuck themselves" which as an ideology ignores our species only strength: cooperation.
Async processors have been around a long time, and some were sold commercially in the pre-microprocessor days. The IAS machine and clones, designed by von Neumann's team in the 1940s, was asynchronous. A bit later, the PDP-6 and first generation of PDP-10, were too, as well as Honeywell's mainframe processors in the 70s and 80s:

> The 6180 processor was among the last of the great non-microcoded engines. Entirely asynchronous, its hundred-odd boards would send out requests, earmark the results for somebody else, swipe somebody else's signals or data, and backstab each other in all sorts of amusing ways which occasionally failed (the "op not complete" timer would go off and cause a fault). Unlike the PDP-10, there was no hint of an organized synchronization strategy: various "it's ready now", "ok, go", "take a cycle" pulses merely surged through the vast backpanel ANDed with appropriate state and goosed the next guy down. Not without its charms, this seemingly ad-hoc technology facilitated a substantial degree of overlap [...] [1]

I think it's fair to say it's harder to reason about async logic. And nearly all design tools are today oriented around clocked logic. So asynchronous designs have become very niche (and they were never mainstream). But the basic premise that it is more efficient, is probably true.

Potential Criminal Activity Revealed in the Kroger-Albertsons Merger
Yeah, if I try to understand billions of galaxies with millions of stars and objects millions times brighter than sun and dark matter and all of this starting from singularity. Sometimes feel like let's give up and accept easier explanation, God did it all.
> why not just say "for every pound (or kilogram) of matter, there are roughly 5 pounds (or kilograms) of dark matter".

Your suggestion is better writing. As for why? Likely the author and editors rushed the content or lack strong skills in this particular style of writing. The author Paul Sutter seems to have a strong background in writing. The original sentence is awkward enough that it looks like it was written by one person and edited by another.

> Dark matter is the mysterious, unknown substance that seems to make up the bulk of all the mass in the universe; for every 2 pounds (1 kilogram) of regular matter, there's roughly 10 pounds (5 kg) of dark matter.

If I had to guess, I bet it only originally had one set of units and an editor added converted units to match some style guide. I doubt that Paul would have originally gone with

> for every 2 pounds of regular matter, there's roughly 10 pounds of dark matter.

Because 2:10 ratio is not a natural thing to write. He's an astrophysicist who did post-doc fellowships in Paris and Italy, so most likely he submitted an article with SI units:

> for every 1 kilogram of regular matter, there's roughly 5 kilograms of dark matter.

And I bet a livescience.com editor changed that to pounds to match a US-centric style guide.

I mean, if WhatsApp said this about the privacy of messages, Signal would be running billboard ads about how they don't care about privacy and look at how much better Signal is, right? This is the company that goes out of their way to pile on advanced encryption and insists on using dangerous secure enclaves to get this kind of thing right... until they are asked the hide phone numbers, at which point they are selling people a false bill of goods that WILL confuse someone into giving their phone number to someone who they really shouldn't have. It isn't as if it is somehow impossible to hide anyone's number at the protocol level: hell... even Snapchat does this, right?

Even on low-end hardware, the cost of competent deployment amortizes to zero. Like most industrial pursuits, the deployment cost of the first box is high; the cost for each additional box is orders-of-magnitude less. Add the end of Moore's Law into the mix--getting many years of economic service out of boxes that would have been obsolete within the year--the cost is lower still. There are people out there who've been running aisles of rock-bottom supermicro gear, for almost decade, without incident. Gabriel's Law: "worse is better". FAANG rode Gabriel's law to the bank.

You'd think ISPs would do their darnedest to make it so they don't have a way of knowing what content is flowing over their pipes, to help avoid accusations of contributory infringement.

My understanding is that ISP don't want to be seen as dumb pipes, despite that it would probably absolve them of a lot of responsibility and liability, because dumb pipes are effectively a commodity and thus a race to the bottom price-wise. Of course, in many US markets, they have this locked up and are a monopoly anyway. This is may be (slightly) less of a focus now, but back in the 90s, ISPs saw piled on extra services as differentiators and lock in, which is why you might have had an email address in your ISP's domain, or (in the case of cable internet) Video On Demand services tied in with internet access, or even things like content filtering (to appeal to parents). ISPs have tried a lot of different things to avoid being considered dumb pipes.

Tenancy is a contractual relationship. It doesn't include ethical sidequests like making sure your landlord doesn't pay large electrical bills which he has agreed to pay as part of the contract. Electricity is metered, making it the landlord's responsibility to put an "up to X KW a month" clause in the contract. That electricity isn't free, the scare quotes don't change that. It's cost-included.

Your opprobrium appears to hinge on the idea that this tenant would only mine crypto if the power is provided on a single-bill, all-you-can-eat basis, which I don't see as a safe assumption here. The tenant got a good deal. That happens sometimes. If landlord ever notices, he'll put another clause in the contracts going forward. Live and learn.
It's that the poster didn't give any supporting comment to their claim that a lot of [the idealogy that is being foisted on the minds?] is "even anti-American".

Claiming something is un-American is fine. We're (mostly?) red-blooded Americans here.

However, pointing at something and saying it's un-American and expecting the crowd to gasp in horror and join you in denouncing it, is a very clear signal of a Fox-news-or-something-deadened brain.

Clouds (like, the big fluffy things in the sky) are made up of many droplets of liquid. Using "droplet" to refer to the things that make up cloud computing is a pretty natural nickname for any cloud provider, not just DO. I do imagine that DO uses "droplet" as a public product branding because it works well with their "Ocean" brand, though.

...now I'm actually interested in knowing if "droplet" is derived from "ocean", or if "Digital Ocean" was derived from having many droplets (which was derived from cloud). Maybe neither.

These are just a few issues discovered opening the app for 5 minutes. I wish you and the product all the best. And I will be happy to try it again later.

But at this point, I just don't see myself paying a subscription for an MVP/alpha product, with so many visible bugs, and not working (or not intuitive) basic features.

- Clicking a button for every message to see images is a weird decision, to be honest. I understand some people are more paranoid. But both Mail.app and Fastmail web client provide features for privacy to hide your IP for loading images. There are I guess some WebKit context menus, which suggest that I can download the image or open the image in a new window, and when I click it - nothing happens.

- You are right, there is a reply button. Just not where I expected it, considering I was expecting the same behavior/view as Mail.app. But even that - another bug / unexpected behavior - the reply email (From) chosen first from the list, but not the same email account that received the email. Say I received an email on support@example.com, and when I click Reply - the From account is selected to myaccount@fastmail.fm.

- I don't see any ability to attach inline images to messages. Drag and drop of the image from Finder to the Compose does not work. I see that I can attach documents to the messages, but don't see the ability to create inline messages.

So at this point. I already wasted a trial period to see that the state of the app in a very early alpha/beta. I would call it alpha because I believe there are many basic features are still missing. And it is definitely beta because some basic features don't even work, like lists don't update when I receive new emails.

I am sorry. It is just too early. I can't try again later in a few months, assuming you will release some updates soon. Which is very disappointing. I will give it another try, when I see it again, maybe mentioned somewhere else.

Really wish you actually had a TestFlight first to build the app to v1 and collect feedback. I do feel like there is a good potential of the app. And despite even that I really hate the subscription models, I went ahead and gave your app a try.
This got me thinking about the recent Rails improvement on moving cache from RAM to SSD. The test they did from what I remembered was RAM at 0.8ms and SSD was ~1.5ms. Moving to SSD you could afford to cache 10x more data and still be cheaper. Now I wonder if the test results would be the same on cloud. Assuming they tested it locally.

I have wondered about this, but the most I've come up with is that he is making a name for himself as a heterodox thinker. This would incentivize him to be critical of orthodoxies in medicine/higher education, and could explain why he takes some of the positions he has taken.

On the other hand, it seems that there almost zero medical professionals on the left who are interested in debating him and showing how he has been wrong about various topics. He calls for universities to host debates on these topics of public concern, but pretty much no one is willing to do it. This makes me think it is somewhat less likely that he is just completely wrong, and more likely that he is the one saying that various (naked) emperors have no clothes. I'm sure he's not always right, but much of what he says seems quite plausible to me (a fairly well-educated person with some understanding of statistics).

I'd love to know where folks have mounted successful critiques of his work, or if he has any conflicts of interest that he doesn't mention.

If more people in my life were familiar with 401(k) and general personal finance, I'd might agree. However, around me I don't see enough people contributing to their 401k, or if they do they don't really understand it besides maybe knowing they get an employer match.

I just don't think enough people understand it well enough to even vote against their best interest intentionally. At best, it would be the same vote even if they didn't have a 401k.

I heard eons ago that Spock's green blood was inspired by the blue-green blood of horseshoe crabs which has a copper-based system instead of iron, among other oddities:

A horseshoe crab's blood has a blue to blue-green color when exposed to the air. The blood is blue because it contains a copper-based respiratory pigment called hemocyanin.

I'm failing to come up with the right search terms to find what I recall about zooplankton and the oceanic food web. It differs from other food webs and this shows up starkly in certain kinds of charts/models.

Zooplankton are tiny creatures found in relatively small amounts on the surface but breed like crazy and feed huge animals, including some types of whales. So where other food webs are kind of pyramidal and you have a huge amount of plants at the base of the web and a smaller amount of animals that eat those plants and a smaller mass of animals that eat those animals, the ocean's food web doesn't follow a similar pattern. It's not pyramidal. There is much more mass found in other layers of the food web than of zooplankton at any given time.

(Included because of the claim that "One elephant per year of this substance can't sustain life..." How do we know that?)

Furthermore, on Earth we have life sustained by undersea volcanoes which defies our usual patterns of life. I'm out of my depth on exactly how these lifeforms differ from the norm on Earth, so I won't try to give a nutshell version of how they differ, but here are some links:

If the feds have you device, they have everything, regardless of how hard you try to lock it down. Not worth even considering how to keep them out because you're simply not going to.
