<p>It's wildly insane to assume one can simply "know" who "needs help".<p>It's even worse to assume that a person - regardless of whether they can or can't easily tell - would be motivated to find out if they weren't handing out own food or money.</p>

<p>All anti-money laundering regulations cracks down on human rights.<p>Anyone who opened a crypto account with a regulated brokerage was abused.<p>If your right to property was respected they couldn't force you to spend extra time and money to exercise it, or limit how you can exercise it.<p>It's a matter of scope and degree. If government doesn't like you, you get a VIP treatment.</p>

Oh, wait, I already have that.</p>

<p>> The best way to not get long Covid is to not get Covid, and the best way to not get Covid is to be well vaccinated and boosted and have a good level of antibodies to stop the virus getting in.<p>I know people who got multiple jabs and have had Covid-19 several times already. These suggestions are useless.<p>> in those breakthrough cases in the vaccinated people, your chance of long Covid is further reduced perhaps by another 50 percent.<p>If it's reduced by only 50%, with Long Covid being so rare I'd rather take my chances and remain unvaccinated!</p>

<p>Insightful... not.<p>If Elon cared about maximizing ROI on that 44 BN, he wouldn't have bought Twitter.<p>Btw the amount of damage done to the cults of DIE, ESG, climate, globalism, and statism since last November has been multiple times greater, and done completely on Elon's dime. I really appreciate that. If the US Gov knew this beforehand I think they would have done something to prevent it.</p>

<p>Garbage "analysis".<p>Heavy users I follow tweet more than 3 times a day.<p>> The problem wasn't a biased liberal algorithm, it was that their tweets are no good.<p>No, it was a biased algo that's still being removed (as recently as 2-3 weeks ago they discovered another throttle which was impacting many users, including Elon).<p>The main problem is that all centralized platforms have to deal with government-mandated censorship in large markets such as the EU, which kills content and engagement and also negatively impacts paying users (because despite the payment, their content still gets shadow-banned). That's not Twitter's fault, but they're relatively more impacted than social networks that focus on art and have no political content.</p>

<p>Far from it, sequential IO optimization isn't dead.<p>Sequential reads need to be optimized to produce optimal performance for selected workload. That usually means applying a lower level of inline compression.<p>In some cases deduplication works better before, in other after, compression. Sometimes post-process dedupe is more suitable than inline.<p>Then there's erasure coding and data protection methods that are still being optimized for NVMe with sequential workloads, including random workloads which are being sequentialized to work better with latest flash media.<p>I would even say developments in sequential IO are becoming more important than random IO.</p>
