In an industry notorious for jobhopping what leverage do you actually think these well compensated employees have? There's a horde of people willing to replace them if they wish to take an ideological stance and quit.

They can always start their own streaming service.

What do you think the financial standing is of a company that since 2015 has taken bitcoins and given people tokens valued at the current btc/usd price?

They are essentially taking shorts on bitcoin over the last 7 years.

SD cards are horrendous for long term storage. Probably the worst medium for such a task.

So hypothetically as a western activist at risk of govt coercion you'd trust Cisco more?

Statistically, you very likely own a Chinese manufactured router while using it to tell others here not to do the same.

> there is no way to easily self host images

When you run lxd init there's an option to make the server available over the network (default: No), if enabled you can host images from there.

    lxc remote add myimageserver images.bamboozled.com
    lxc publish myimage
    lxc image copy myimage myimageserver
    
    lxc launch myimageserver:myimage

Many gold mines across the planet reopen and shutter solely based on price.

If gold doubles, supply dramatically ramps up. Same with most commodities.

There's an old darknet wives tale about a certain person who did very much the same thing but kept the significant bitcoin downpayment.

I find it hard to believe the small non-paying contingent is unique to the US or even a significant % of daily patients, plenty of other countries have homeless who end up in ED's.

America somehow spends far more than any other country on healthcare and yet patients still have some of the highest out of pocket costs even when they have expensive private insurance schemes, something is clearly broken to anyone looking and it's not the homeless causing it.

This a very old discussion if you keep digging through the links.

> I’m not sure if it’s by bots or real persons

The bot usage is a significant amount of the low level noise, I've published things of no use to anyone and they always rack up a lot of dl's despite no one practically using them for a long time.

> Firstly, a bigger standard library would reduce the need for external dependencies

There's years worth of the same arguments tiringly made over and over again (same with namespacing) on the rust forum, everyone has played their hand on this issue a dozen times now, the community clearly has a majority stance on such things.

> A variant of the previous technique is to use the --allow-dirty flag of the cargo publish command.

Please correct me if I'm wrong but thought that flag simply allows uncommitted changes to be published, the source is still availabile for anyone to view on crates.io

> We're sorry but this website doesn't work properly without JavaScript enabled. Please enable it to continue.

Works perfectly fine for me. Maybe you couldn't serve me a gdpr or something. Thankfully I can keep it turned off for now :)

> Twitter is public

I'd highly suggest you logout of twitter and try instead using it in private mode in a browser manually navigating. Bonus points for trying on mobile.

I remember trying to explain to a store that I couldn't access their Facebook business page because I didn't have an account and she still found it hard to believe even after me demonstrating it.

Many inside the walled gardens only see the pretty plants.

Honestly quite cheap.

I go sort of tinfoil about why these billions of drugmoney is allowed to pass on the internet these days, if those uber specialists put their mind to this they could surely stop all the badness in the world, surely.
