The operators of the VPN in this case are also the developers of the browser. If they want to inject content they can do that without the VPN.

No, but if you low ball the numbers you put in the job ad then the people you actually want for the job won't apply.

That would be great! Really appreciate your write up, this space is really fascinating. The short cache / no stateful Writer / no searches on Writers thing stood out to me as a key differentiator to something like Grafana Loki.

In Husky, how do you maintain very short cache times in your Writers without blowing up your S3 write costs?

To put these billing errors in context, our account suddenly showed ~$12,000,000 in usage fees. I saw some others posting bills high as 100s of millions. Pretty heart attack inducing.

I think that's absolutely true when it comes to the media's treatment of past outbreaks, but that doesn't apply to the situation in Ukraine, it's the opposite. The mainstream did not take the threat of Russian aggression very seriously, even in Ukraine. Also the people pointing to the nuclear threat are urging calm, the opposite of your typical "boy who cried wolf" scenario.

People give a shit now because it’s a major escalation with a nuclear power. That was not true with their invasion in Georgia or the previous incursions in Ukraine. This is a genuinely newsworthy and alarming event, I’m not sure what you expect the media to do when things like this happen.

CO2 is transparent to visible light but not to infrared, so it allows sunlight to heat the surface of the earth but impedes its cooling. Smoke and soot is not transparent, so it blocks sunlight from heating the surface in the first place.

You might just be overthinking it. It means the same as “slow and steady wins the race”.

That time period featured the longest depressionary period in US history with large spikes in unemployment [1]

The article you cited is from 2002. Japan has been mildly inflationary on average since the late 2000s. Unemployment spiked significantly during the deflationary period and has been dropping since.[1] You can see a similar pattern in the US deflationary periods during the 1800s. Every instance of deflation coincides with recessions or depressions and large scale job loss.

The catch is it’s $11000

It's a multi-dimensional spectrum, it can't be captured adequately by a single number.

The federal contractor mandate is not in place, it was put on hold by the courts and none so far has sided with the Feds. The federal private business mandate is gone, it was quashed by the Supreme Court. What states decide is separate from what the federal government decides and varies from state to state, which is how the system is supposed to work.

If you’re in the US, the federal vaccine mandate was quashed by the Supreme Court, so no need to be terrified.

Looks like it's already a federal crime of it's own with possible prison time: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1991

Apparently this is under the jurisdiction of the railroad police, not LAPD. Not clear to me what jurisdiction that falls under but sounds like it might be federal.

Climate is not chaotic, weather is chaotic. Without any models at all we can predict that the Sahara desert will be hot and dry many many years out.

Sure, but the claim is that crypto magically allows you to avoid all taxes. It doesn't. How much the government chooses to tax you is entirely unrelated.

> Bitcoin did actually solve a real problem: a completely digital decentralized immutable record.

That doesn't describe a problem though, it describes a technical solution.

> I hesitate to call it a currency, but it created something that was digitally scarce.

My comment was about web3 really and the associated hype, not so much cryptocurrencies themselves. I agree there's something there, though not entirely convinced it won't always be illegal sales or scams.

> At one point the internet was also a problem looking for a solution too so I don’t think it’s a fair criticism of the technology.

I see this repeated a lot but it's just not accurate. E-mail was invented within like 2 years of the internet and immediately allowed universities to exchange messages with one another. It doesn't take a networking enthusiast to see the value in sending a textual message instantly across the globe. Meanwhile I've never seen even a description of a web3 product that doesn't rely on architecture or politics to explain why it's useful.

> This is not unique to crypto - see, for example, HTTP, or HDMI…

HTTP and HDMI provided actually useful things to regular people despite their shortcomings. Crypto has been solving technical problem after technical problem for over a decade but has yet to offer anything useful to a non-enthusiast.

> Another issue is that the goalpost is ever-shifting. We have truly distributed apps.

And the only thing they are useful for is moving crypto around between enthusiasts. "Make something useful for regular people" should not be difficult goalpost for something that claims to be world changing.

Except NFTs don't store the item, they only store a creator-defined URL hypothetically pointing to the item or a hash of it's contents. Also nothing guarantees the royalties if you can just download the item. Nothing in NFTs prevents right-click-save-as.

A deed is to land, the land still exists if the house is gone. Your example is more like owning a title to a car that's been shot into the sun. It has 0 value.

So the answer is centralized storage?

Those numbers really don’t tell the tale. The problem with looking at raw bed numbers is that all kinds of not so good pressure valve mechanisms go into effect as bed capacity drops, such as:

* cancellation of elective and non-urgent surgeries, including back surgeries

* longer more intense hours for staff

* shipping patients to other hospitals, often out of state

* huge spikes in ER wait times

My personal experience knowing people at multiple levels in health care is that hospitals legitimately have been struggling with capacity issues every time that COVID spiked over the past two years.

It helps to think about this more clearly if you forget the NFT bit and think about just doing this with standard tech. What stops developers today from implementing publicly documented formats for in-game elements? What stops other developers from writing code to import these elements from one game to another? All an NFT adds is a verifiable signature and a pubic database. The signature bit seems completely irrelevant. Why would one game developer care if did or did not pay a different developer? If it's the same developer, they already have some way to track that you bought the items. The public database is more useful here, but all this data is usually sitting on your local disk anyways. Devs could make use of it today if they were so inclined.

Governments collected taxes on cash and non-fiat for millenia (and still do so), they will have no issues taxing crypto if they need to.

It’s incredibly rude to respond to someone wishing you good will by criticizing how they do so.

The study in this post finds that to be not true (emphasis mine):

> Overall, we find that measured verbal, non-verbal, and overall cognitive scores are significantly lower since the beginning of the pandemic. Looking further, we find that children born before the pandemic and followed through the initial stages do not show a reduction in skills or performance, but rather that young infants born since the beginning of the pandemic show significantly lower performance than in- fants born before January 2019. Thus, our results seem to suggest that early development is impaired by the environmental conditions brought on by the pandemic.

If you look at the actual questions in the study, they were all phrased in reference to “someone that voted for the opposing presidential candidate”, not “the other party” or people with opposing views in general, as this article states. It’s clearly more about young Dem’s feelings towards Trump than Republicans in general.
