Wouldn't be easier and more efficient to just run docker containers?

It depends on what you're doing. Proxmox gives you the flexibility to figure it out as you go.

If you have a plan from the start and you know what you'll need and you're pretty confident it won't change, then sure.

If you want a box that you can slice and dice however you want (VMs, containers, etc) then something like Proxmox might be worth it.

Russia has its own war, they can not afford to militarily support Iran or other countries. They do not have the troops, weapons or money.

And they would totally not enter a nuclear war with US for Iran.

Totally agreed on the last line, but my point was that just because Russia wouldn't do that doesn't mean that the US is "uncontested" at this point.

>The world order we know was built by and for the US when it was the uncontested superpower.

You mean after the fall of the Soviet Union? Because Soviet Union used to contest US power.

>Countries that spent decades being the West's cheap labor pool have risen up, industrialized, built real militaries, and they are not going back to where they were. But the West isnt going to voluntarily get poorer to make room for them either.

So you believe relations between countries are a 0 sum game?

The soviet union did not contest that order so much as exist outside of it. When it collapsed, those institutions didn't change they just lost their counterweight.

aggregate economic growth is positive sum, but the things that actually matter in geopolitics, namely who controls chokepoints, who sets standards, whose currency denominates trade, who has military primacy in a given region are zero-sum or close to it. china getting richer grows the pie. china getting rich enough to contest US naval dominance in the South China Sea does not. both are happening simultaneously. pointing at the first doesn't make the second disappear.

You think we live in a world shaped by prisoner's dilemma?

>nothing to do with socialism

"From each according to his ability, to each according to his need." - Karl Marx

... that's Communism, bro. :-) Ask ChatGPT to summarise it for you. The Socialism was "от каждого по способностям - каждому по труду".

IMO, invasion of Iraq was to support Israel.

I wonder why he didn't use AOT compiling if he's worried about JIT warmup.

It wasn't discussed, so we're left to speculate. If I had to guess, I imagine that the .NET JIT has actual benefits: the variety of architectures has gotten enormous and JIT is likely a performance win after warmup.

.NET JIT supports dynamic PGO.

My guess is because .NET AoT is not yet optimized and mature enough as JIT. This is known and is on the agenda of Microsoft but it will take time to get there.

So did the Great Country of North Korea.

>But this means talking heads are reporting on $110 oil when it's really $150.

It's pretty normal that futures differ from spot prices.

>In previous years, some or all of these people would get investigated and prosecuted by the SEC for insider trading.

But are there proofs that there is insider trading on oil futures and we know CTFC isn't investigating it?

Come to think of it, what insider trading in oil even is…? Oil isn’t a company and doesn’t have any capacity for material non-public information. The biggest players are all insiders on this market anyway. Why should Barron be prosecuted and Trafigura not…?

What if Satoshi Nakamoto, whoever he is, lost the key to his wallet?

I've read somewhere that there are some very big bitcoin wallets nobody has touched since long ago. So it's safe to assume the keys are gone.

Does it matter if a large proportion of bitcoins are gone from the network?
