Computers from 1998 couldn't run the monstrous amount of JS and/or surveillance that is Discord with any sort of performance. https://stallman.org/discord.html In fact, it looks like modern ones can't either:

I guess one way to tell whether the image is processed locally is by disabling every connection, and seeing if the pics still look good. But there still might be advanced machine learning models, rather than simple filters.

To mask the extent to which a drive has been filled, or to figure out how many blocks have been deleted since the last TRIM. I have yet to discover any use for this minuscule "leak", even when considering nation-state adversaries.

I meant self-hosted as in a compiler (like PyPy), not a server (like Mattermost instead of Slack).

With so much of the tech sector going remote, how do prices still keep going up? Why is there still so muh demand? Is there anyone living in those expensive places? Or is it just speculation/investment?

> when it unwinds Don't underestimate the inflationary potential of fiat currency. Maybe it'll just stay the same price, but everything else still gets relatively more expensive.

Indeed, the first thing I did when I found the image as a teen was look for the rest of it. It acts like free advertising. Sadly it is against the model's wishes, so I'd feel bad. I will use the ethical replacement from now on.

I agree with you completely. But you may be overlooking that they're also liquid, popular, benefit from network effects, the supply is algorithmically defined in many cases, and mostly fungible. This should make for more interested com

I don't think it would, because all it would take is some people to want to buy it for speculation purposes, and it would have nonzero price. Sure, it's a dead asset producing nothing and having not much use. But it's easie

Hmm, I think the logic is quite fuzzy about that.

What makes you think it will tend towards zero?

I agree. While in fiat currencies it may go on to inheritance feeding the market with liquidity, unused Bitcoin does nothing, so demand being equal price would increase.

If the workers really are producing "substantially more" value for the economy, they are probably underpaid in the first place, or the specific train line/project is a bad investment (too expensive).

But it does disagree. Python is a dynamic language where essentially everything is indirect (an object). Hardcoding types and methods (so they compile to simple/fast machine code as the video proposes) takes away flexibility (but you c

Worse outcome is wasting time tying your future to a language that will die soon, with few people you could hire to help. But the rewards are in line with the risks.

Good point. Yes, they are, as are all cloud services. But with AWS and Azure it's more explicit, in that the server is running on their machines. With Cloudflare, you may not realize this if you don't know how HTTPS works. The end
