Afraid of a little competition? This is the paradox of the bitcoin maximalist: The 'free market' is good but don't try to compete with my 'one true asset'!

I heard about Bitcoin in 2010 a few days before MagicalTux announced Mt. Gox on the Bitcoin forums. Once graphic card mining became a thing I quickly started a small farm while in school.

When I first understood PoW I immediately knew PoW must die for cryptocurrency to become sustainable. It is the single largest flaw with contemporary cryptocurrency. Bitcoin has become stale and unwilling to progress, instead choosing to retreat in maximalist dogma. This prevents bitcoin from solving some of these obvious technical issues. The block size debates is far more than enough to turn me away.

For me the ethereum community has been a breath of fresh air and is far more progressive than those left in the bitcoin world. After seeing the ethereum community gracefully handle the 2016 DOA hack with a hard fork, I was sold. Ethereum's community understood technology serves us, not the other way around while acknowledging and actively working toward solving problems bitcoiners often simply ignore.

I believe in the human spirit of solving problems through technology. Ethereum is not a panacea, but the ethereum project tries to remember that progressive spirit.
Drew's stance on supporting EGLStreams is not unreasonable. It's a "standard" that only nVidia cares about and causes a lot of headache for pretty much everyone.

However, yes, the naming of that flag is a red flag. It tells me "this developer thinks that because you use their software they are entitled to tell you how to use your computer", which is an attitude I cannot abide.
Not only will they not investigate Bloomberg or his family they will not do the same to any of his Democratic opponents. I honestly cannot think of any other statement to set off accusations of a one sided press than this, what were they thinking?
Why should my personal .org cost that much remember that .org is not just for non profits in the narrow USA sense.
Singapore is an amazing country. But its rule of law is very authoritarian. It’s more monarchy than democracy.
Very interesting, I sense you're right. Got examples?
1. When a boat enters a section of canal (i.e. between lock gates), the water level rises equally along that section, and consequently the weight of the boat is spread over the bed of that section.

2. ...Except that, if the level is maintained by water flowing over a weir, the weight of the boat is compensated for by a decrease in the water content of the canal.

3. Water level changes from launching a boat, or the lock operations to bring it into a section, propagate as waves, so do not take effect throughout the section immediately.

4. A moving boat creates waves in a canal. When the boat occupies a significant part of the canal's cross-section, water flowing around the boat's hull from stem to stern lowers the water level alongside the boat. I guess that it is possible for boats crossing an aqueduct to reduce the load on that aqueduct (while the bow wave may increase it.)

I tried to use Uber three times in my life, including once in London, and every time I get all the way to try the point where it is looking for nearby cars then it stops and says my phone number is invalid. Contacted their support, sent them a screen shot of my iPhone screen showing my number, they said it was fixed. A few months later I tried to book a car again and exact same thing happened. So I don’t have a lot of sympathy when they fall on hard times. I eventually gave up on Uber and tried Lyft, works painlessly and reliably, a little extra comfort when I’m in a unfamiliar city.
The best source which I've read that corrects the myths behind the Galileo affair was written by science-fiction author Michael F. Flynn.

I also find common argument tropes pretty tiring, and I feel like I've typed out the same responses again and again, but pointing out the inconsistency is probably the best way... and in a year maybe you see someone else pointing it out instead of you, and it catches on... till the pendulum swings the other way.

At least as a reader of comments that's what I'd rather read: a well thought out rebuttal, than to never see the exchange due to moderation. Eternal September and all, it's fresh for someone.

(just a guess)
SiFive really didn’t choose chisel as much as created it. It’s basically a company created by Krste and some former graduate students.

I like chisel as a concept but the learning curve is too high: Scala is kind of a mess and when you add a custom DSL + lots of functional programming on top a different hardware design methodology, it becomes overwhelming to your typical ce/ee, who probably doesn’t have that exposure. I simply ran out of time to learn it properly.

It also a second class citizen when it comes to rtl tools. The verification engineers have to work with the generated verilog and it looks like a nightmare. There was some improvements recently but the engineers knowledgeable enough to work on this stuff seem pretty bandwidth constrained.

The biggest headwind to chisel is the breadth of knowledge required to work and improve it IMO.

I’m really hoping that pymtl gets a firrtl backend soon. Python has a pretty decent record for building DSLs.
That's a potent verisimilitude. The people of Iran pay taxes which funds their government. The people employed in government positions in Iran, are Iranians. The government of authoritarian regimes and even democratic governments has its hand in all sectors through tariffs, taxes, and regulations.

Of course citizens shouldn't suffer the pangs of incompetent, lazy, or evil governments. That's why virtuous imperialism was a thing.

But aside from sounding good, how do you suppose these government sanctions should be instituted in order to be effective?
It wasn't possible, Macy's abandoned that location. Shortly afterwards there was a shootout right outside (at peak hour) and an engineer was shot in the mayhem. Nowdays thats just another day in Seattle, with the second highest growth in murder of any city in the US!
I'm assuming this is in relation to individuals that borrow (not businesses). In the US, consistently, good repayment behavior generally leads to higher credit rating, which in turn makes it easier to get mortgages, car loans, credit cards, etc at lower interest rates and/or lower deposit requirements. Bad behavior leads to the opposite.

In the US, the moral hazard is offset because there is a high reward for good repayment behavior and a major risk for bad repayment behavior. For example, the restructuring for bad behavior usually comes with other problems such as being blacklisted by creditors and/or banks, or not being able to get a nice job (some jobs in the US require good credit rating).
Is there an open source and self hosting cloud that apps like this can build on. I know Own Cloud exists but is it app-friendly. This requires a mysql db - yuck.
Haskell doesn't use the + symbol for monoids, it uses <>.
Honestly I don’t think they’re very good for development, or at least the type of development I’ve done. For iOS development they basically lock you in, and for frontend web stuff it’s probably fine if the convenience of testing against iOS or desktop Safari combined with having a Unix environment outweighs the value of convenient testing against MS browsers or the advantages I discuss below.

But the more you live in the terminal, the more of a mess it becomes compared to Linux. All the built in utilities are either very old or feature-impoverished BSD variants. Making it usable at all requires Homebrew, which manages to get broken by every major OS update. The default file system is case insensitive, which probably improves usability for mundanes but can result in some utterly broken Git workflows. And the more effort you invest into automating your workflow, the more time and effort you have to expend on the relatively useless and non-transferrable skill of macOS system administration. So I switched to Linux. Tiling window managers are nice, too.
They did have a GTK3 port at one point (audacious 3.5) but walked back from it:

It would appear that this applies to politicians pretty much all the time.
"Are you implying that the reason the hospitals are overwhelmed is that they are admitting people that could just "ride it out at home"?"

No. As of this writing, on March 22, no hospitals in California are, as yet, overwhelmed.

I am saying that we are taking steps to avoid hospitals being overwhelmed, with the assumption that anyone with flu-like symptoms will be utilizing professional medical care.

If, instead, we assumed that only critical cases (as you say, those needing, for instance, ventilation) need to avail themselves of medical care, then the potential for overwhelm drops significantly.

"This is not about people's attitudes towards healthcare ..."

I think it is. We set a symptomatic bar, above which we seek professional care and consume medical resources. In 2020 America, I think that bar is too low.
> a simulated race car has almost nothing in common with the real experience other than your hands are turning a wheel and your feet push pedals.

Real life engineer made a data analysis between a virtual F3 car vs real F3 car, keep in mind rfactor is an old sim from 2005, sure you can't (Yet) replicate the g-forces of the real thing but everything else is pretty close.

I don't think it's that binary. There are definitely times where I've been on teams where I knew things were looking grim, but where I felt a bond with my everyone, and it was a fellowship that made us dig in to give our best effort. That can be very sustaining (moreso if you feel good about your future team-finding skills, I suppose).
What are some real world applications for this bad boy? Is this a for-profit endeavor where real companies can rent this computer out to do stuff with it?
I'd say you're painting with a rather broad brush there - decrying pop music says nothing about the value of music in general.
FWIW, if you change "unstructured" to "semi-structured" then Norm's argument works much better.
"chances are good"
Their findings reflect my experiences well and don't strike me as surprising or troublesome, just logical. As the article notes, narcissism is not an entirely negative property. It brings some powerful intrinsic motivations to the table that can turn into a full bodied, confident outcome but, as ever, a team entirely built up of these types is as useful as getting 20 top authors to write a novel together.
Yep. I was wrong. It looks like AWS, Rackspace Cloud, and probably even GoGrid are all around 100% y-o-y growth.
Obviously this is a little biased - you're not asking your own non-existent younger brother the same thing, are you?
You are right. I sincerely apologize!
It was premeditated and planned using all new capacity. I chatted with Chris Pinkham, who architected and was VP of Engineering for EC2. I also verified with Chris Brown, who was development lead for EC2 and Ben Black who was leading networking.

In high school I used to watch Onur's lectures while he was still at CMU. Probably a significant reason for where I am now.
Well, because they (and their entire organization) may be unable to get a publicly routable IPv4 address, because NCC can't and won't assign any more. You can work around it for now, but in the future this will be a more and more common situation.
Yup. What's crazy is that a $6k 3990X is still a better deal in terms of $/core than even a dual-cpu Xeon W-3175 system (which would cost about $6k for only 56 cores).
Nice idea. I've been sharing my salary history via email for some time now to help equalize it - this just takes it public.

BTW, I would probably suggest qualifying the income by location to set the context. SV pay isn't always, e.g., Boise, ID pay.
You've been down voted here, but your post touches on some truth. As a parent your prime responsibility is not to "connect with" your kids and be their best friend. It is instead to be a provider, teacher, and role model. This often means doing things that your kids do not like. They may even say "I hate you" or something similar. Kids do not appreciate their parents until they are well into adulthood; I would venture to say that unless and until you have kids yourself you cannot truly appreciate your parents. And what you appreciate is not the milk and cookies and bedtime stories but the actual never ending nonstop no-breaks responsibility that is parenthood.
Eroll Garner is one of my most favorite pianists. Plus, as a Lindy Hop dancer it's super great to hear his music and dance to it.

Nowadays, I love Gordon Webster and of course... Stephanie Trick and Paolo Alderighi.
Roulette with a martingale system has exactly the same expectation as roulette without a martingale system, just a slightly different distribution of returns. Having more money than the house certainly isn't an advantage when you've lost 16 times in a row and they can't honour your next bet...
I'll answer my own question, given the attacker wouldn't know how the salt was used unless they had access to the code, it doesn't matter.
Right on, my comment could have been much more clear, I will do so in the future :).
The only way I know of that "push" can cause problems is with "--force"... so just tell people not to do that! If you attempt to push a non-fast-forwardable commit to a remote branch, Git will complain and stop with a message like

! [rejected] master -> master (non-fast-forward)
# error: failed to push some refs to 'https://github.com/
USERNAME/REPOSITORY.git'
# To prevent you from losing history, non-fast-forward updates were rejected
# Merge the remote changes (e.g. 'git pull') before pushing again. See the
# 'Note about fast-forwards' section of 'git push --help' for details.
What research? Even over this anecdotally chosen timespan, the S&P 500 returned 3.98% / year on average. That completely squashes GDP growth over the same period.
I can sense my own heart beat only when it's strong after a workout or in normal conditions but then my body has to be really still. I can obviously always feel my pulse with my fingers but that is cheating.
you are right about C. i mean i do get why we have so many. and i use them so often that its ingrained in me. and how to fix them when i mess up. but sometimes i notice how many libs we are talking about. honestly it is kinda ridiculous. i know how hard it is to manage one repo and keep it safe. maybe im too old. young ones now just download go binaries and run them.
In a general sense, and a lot of commands are the same, but they are very different for a lot of stuff.

Compare https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/ to https://www.openbsd.org/faq/index.html and you can see the large differences.
Cynically untrue. Amazon is not even close to bottom of the barrel. And it's clear you haven't paid market rent in a major city since you bought that starter home back in the 90s - 42k is a joke when your rent is close to $2500 and you get no benefits.
My parents got me the Tengen version of Tetris back in the day. They didn't know the difference, of course, and neither did I. What I remember is that it looked different from my friends' version and it had two player. Pretty neat stuff. I don't know where all of my games went, unfortunately.
Yes, A9 was one of the competitors for some of my time at Google, but I'm talking about Amazon basically creating some search engine infrastructure and a framework for building search engines on top of. Selling shovels to the gold miners, in a sense.

The crawling and initial indexing stages need a lot of scaling and performance tuning work, which is a core competency for the AWS engineers. Furthermore, essentially zero people say "I want to build a startup around my new crawl scheduling idea, but it's too time consuming and expensive to write the rest of the search engine." Many more people say "I have a new idea for ranking" or "I have a new idea for content extraction, but it's too expensive and time-consuming to write the rest of a search engine".

Google and Bing already expose "custom search engines" which are basically just filters on top of their search engines. I'm talking about something similar, but much deeper customization.

Also, I was at Goldman when Google Search Appliance was EoL'd. GS had plenty of internal content that needed to be indexed, absolutely needed to be kept private, and wasn't well indexed by any of the replacements GS evaluated. For companies that keep lots of documents in AWS storage, it would be good to open up the space for Google Search Appliance replacements. Amazon could write their own, but given that Google abandoned the space, the profit margins aren't great for a huge company. However, creating a search ecosystem within the AWS ecosystem makes the AWS ecosystem more attractive. Maybe forgoing the search profits and inviting in search providers would be a net win in selling more AWS compute and storage.
They will find a way around those laws. I think the end state of the US was described perfectly in Ray Dalio's "Principles for Dealing with the Changing World Order by Ray Dalio" video: Namely, the elite will grab as much capital as they can and when the people finally wrestle back control, all that wealth will fly out of the country as it is collapsing. This is probably how they are operating.

This announcement is deficient in multiple ways. Key information is hidden away in help pages elsewhere on the site. I had to search and find the duration for versions retained:

> How far back you can view and restore is referred to as version history and depends on the Dropbox plan you have.

> Dropbox Basic, Plus, and Family users have 30 days.

> Dropbox Professional and Business users have 180 days.

> However, there are several add-ons that extend your version history.

IMO, the Dropbox Basic, Plus and Family plans are useless with the meager 30-day retention period for older versions of files. It would’ve been better if this whole solution had a storage limit but allowed for longer retention periods. The purpose of backups is to be able to get back farther in time when necessary. That may be a week, a month or even a year. Limiting the version history makes this closer to the standard “sync and check soon if you accidentally deleted/overwrote a file you wanted” solution.

While I’m ranting about this, what’s wrong with the CMS used for the Dropbox blog and website?! The blog post wouldn’t even load unless and until I disabled ad and tracker blockers. Declining the cookie prompt shows an error page. Why have that prompt if it doesn’t work as it’s supposed to?
I agree, it's not perfect. Maybe, just maybe though, it's better than other alternatives out there.

Your suggestions for being able to apply our "higher order executive function" to our social networks is honestly a great take, and a great suggestion. Unfortunately though, that's not something I can really build, even if I had the time, resources, and personnel. That sort of social network requires critical mass of content and would by definition almost, have to be a competitor or aggregator of other social networks. However, that's not the sort of social network I personally am interested in building either.

I think what you're describing definitely falls into our modern definition of a social network, but I also think that definition falls very short of the potential for technology to facilitate relationships. In my opinion, the "thirst traps and rage baits" totally have there place (they're a lot of fun!), but I don't think their place is in the same app as your best friend sharing about their mixed feelings of loss and euphoria as they move from one job to another.

That all being said, I think you bring up a really good talking point, one that I hope the people at Instagram, Snap, TikTok, etc. all pay attention to. As for me though, there's nothing I can really do about it other than start discussion.
Minutiae seems to do this decently

Lets you use the app for one minute a day at a random time, and during that minute you get to see a random users old feed

You might think it’s a different use case, but i think it’s tackling the same problem and in a more succinct and simpler way

That’s a different claim than parent, but I see where you’re coming from.

I’d argue that Wolfe’s other work shows that even in Urth that aspect is more about Severian than Wolfe. Long Sun for one certainly takes a very different tone, but you could argue it’s the work of a more mature author.
Just make sure that is not all that you do together. Balance.
> you would need to dig a dedicated subway tunnel

The tunnels and their exits next to interstate highway already exist per the article, so at this point the construction costs are assumed to be negligible (compared to a
"$2.6 billion and take thirty years to build" system quoted in [1])

it would be used exactly like it was in Seattle: as a shortcut through the city for some routes. The bus retains all its advantages outside the tunnel, it's basically an underground dedicated bus lane.

If really popular then it can get upgraded to a real train, like it was done in Seattle.

Strong claims, no evidence, poorly researched ("what if France had created the internet?" without even a mention of Minitel... c'mon man) and a strong ideological slant. Not sure this belongs here.
"morally incompetent" yes, but morals are not the primary motivator in that situation, only a secondary factor. People want to feel good about themselves, moral behaviour leads to feeling good. But physical work, pride in your work, connection with your work and the people who benefit from it also make one feel good.

It is basically like mothers' day cake: There is cake on sale that will be far better than what you can bake. But quality isn't the point, connection, pride and individualisation are.
Why is it a farce? I don't get what you mean. Hector Martin is really good.

Of course it might not actually go anywhere, it doesn't even have a commit yet, literally just a logo and webpage, but let's see.
Great hiring move. As someone familiar with Tenstorent after reading that article, I’d just like to say that I agree that the critical members of the company all have backgrounds in silicon design. Really excited to see where they go.
That API you're linking is only available on macOS (see the column on the right side of the page).
I have a friend that does that exclusively with small producers wines (he is the owner of a store for specialty wines now somewhere in France), same approach. He has a traditional training in oenology, but spends his time tasting and traveling around Europe to find new unique things. Much more interesting oenological work than people working only with the normalized big-ones.
The only union in America that needs busting is the cops union. Low skilled work that doesn’t even rank in the top 20 most dangerous jobs. Bring on personal liability insurance and call it a day.
> Getting $250k in SV sucks

Ok hold up in what world does $250k in SV suck? Median household income here is around $120k last I checked. Making more than double that cannot be described as sucking, come on.
