Ah thanks for the insight. I was wondering why not ‘block || majority’ to get around scenario 5. Quorum has nothing to do with majority and everything to do with trust structure. M…

I've been using deepseek and it's good enough for my personal use. It takes way more time/tokens/course-correcting to get things done, but I spend in a month what I spend in a day …

One common mistake when pointing out common mistakes: Show the good example!

All our kids were trained between 2-3 y.o, with overnight 3-4 (boys take longer (¬_¬)) honestly diapers isn't even a cost factor. When daycare is 2500-3000/month those first 3 year…

It's kind of like the small string optimization you see in C++[1] where all the string metadata to account for heap pointer, size and capacity is union'ed with char*. Getting the s…

No you can’t. It’s formally called “the analog hole” when security folks yap about it. Usually it’s used to end DLP discussions after too many what-ifs

What’s also bonkers is our political whimpiness that allowed this to happen, right? If there is a drone response it’s pretty damning evidence that we are way too dovish in our poli…

That’s the bet! last time we had that growth was for a few years during the dotcom, followed by a lost decade of growth in tech stocks

I think it’s not about compensation or passion, but something a bit more abstract. I’ll give it a shot; I think you’re successful in what you do and very altruistic and open, not o…

I have a rolodex of quirky contrarian facts I like to whip out at dinner parties and this one is definitely a new one I'm adding to the stack. I'm still shocked at the mental gymna…

I really enjoyed reading this. it jives very well with my sentiment. When you go to a grocery store and see the stacks of sodas and chips while our country has an obesity epidemic,…

Can you elaborate? I own an iphone and pay for zero apple services. I imagine you’re thinking icloud? I have my phone backed up on the 5 gigs they give for free. photos is where da…

realpolitik time folks: First do a left-right on the link that Aurornis posted [1]. Notice the extra fat in the chin, the elongated ear, the enlarged mouth and nose, the frizzlier …

Only for the past 70 years. Before that europeans were the bomb-lobbing record holders.

I always read relevant sections of NEC, UPC, and firecode whenever I DIY. I find the code books to be very clear and thorough and really don’t understand the culture of fear monger…

FAFO* goes both ways. US is in an interesting spot. We have a 1 one-time reset button: Since we’re the reserve currency we can inflate out debt away at the cost of inflation. If an…

Just to make it even more real: During covid I added a sub-panel and the wire (more like the sausage given the girth) between the sub-panel and main panel was aluminum because of c…

That’s kind of how allergies are discovered though. Doctors will tell you to go on a restrictive food diet and tell you to binary search for it if it doesn’t cause anaphylaxis. Bas…

Cool content, but why are you posting it on tons of threads?

Hyundai is already up 13%. I had no clue that CES annoucements could drive stock price this much!

I appreciate your world view and politico-science philosophical approach, but Venezuela has natural resources, is close to the USA, and decided to mingle with American competitors.…

>These three disorders could really be “CKM syndrome,” which can be treated with drugs like Ozempic The article is trying so hard not to say that obesity is the cause. I call it th…

Nope, this analysis is wrong. Decompile your code and look at what's going on: https://godbolt.org/z/f1nx9ffYK The thing being returned is a slice (a fat pointer) that has pointer,…

That's a fine argument, but if we're trying, let's start by spending on it first. We're america, that's what we do when we have a problem.

Seems to be working so well all those demographic numbers are going up and to the right! That correlation between wealth and number of children is staggering it's almost causal if …
