I get where you are coming from but even then, a large portion of the population already depends on government directly for their income (7-8%) + all the government contractors, etc. Plus the government decides if a lot of business live or

It provides water, electricity (most places), garbage collection, sewer, law, police, food safety, etc. Having them give a small sum every month isn't that big of a change

Most of the population is already 100% dependent on the government.

What's the difference between buying gpus and storage to control the crypto and locking money in that crypto? I personally fail to see it since both lock your money and generate interest. Its just a different way to lock it. Plus PoS s

How old are you? Are you a guy? Maybe get a blood test done for testosterone levels, I've heard TRT to be effective in treating those issues.

>Why else would salaries rise so quickly from such a high base? This can be explain by FAANG paying more, or people being more risk averse of having bad devs (ie hiring less, but paying more for more skilled).

Also podcasts are mostly assumed to be biased by the host, as he directs the conversation. Mainstream news has more indirection from reader to writer so the bias is less tangible.

Arguably the home assistant community is fragmented. What if Debian policy or whatever distro they use is targeted next? IMO there was no discussion in that thread just "remove from no" "we can't do that" repeat

To be fair, the reason the curl author is being contacted is because (IIRC) he advertises his name and ways to contact him in curl. The point of advertising yourself is to get people to contact you, and you can't control who does (but

You could put a disclaimer like people on the issue suggested. Nix users are pretty advanced anyway so I doubt he'd get that many useless bug reports.

Fun fact, .dev forces https on modern browsers. Caused a bit of trouble when a colleague of mine tried setting up a new local test server.

From what I recall you'd need about 50% immunity for herd immunity to be reached at a minimum. Assuming 50% 3fficiency (worst case), you would need at least 13% already immune, which seems possible. But imo the efficiency might just be

75% seemed to be from immune people (from that nature article that showcased the maths). It's curious to me a 50%(correct me if I'm wrong) efficiency vaccine would work at 75%. I guess they had some natural immunity already? EDIT:

As I understand there was some shared code between the two projects and udev was refactored into using systemd's code. Why not make systemd re-use udev code instead? Aka either expand udev's library or make a library out of the sh

by totony 5y ago
Why did you chose udev using libsystemd and not systemd using libudev (or made a different shared library, I'm not familiar with what happened)? Seems like this would have been a more widely accepted change and achieved the same thing.
