> That way you end up with the 10 USD Jimmy Wales is charging.

At least he's honest about it. If $10 sounds like a lot, you aren't sufficiently scared of ad-tech yet.
From experience, anything with 2GB or more RAM can be a master node. Workers can even have 1GB and work just fine.

Be warned, though, in my experience etcd requires a somewhat decent read/write latency, or else it's going to fail, and when etcd fails everything fails. Your changes don't apply, etc.
> The proof follows from the labour theory of value

But I'm asking you about the proof of the labor theory of value in fact. I didn't thought that there exist people who take it seriously after marginal revolution.

> and I think that's shown in cases where many busniesses, no matter how risky

Business shows exactly the opposite, the most risky (volatile) domains have the highest gains and highest losses: pharma, construction, fintech.

> value of a commodity is objectively determined by labour-time, not by "risk"

So when the value of a bottle of wine inflates with time, somebody is working on it?

> no matter how risky

Did you ever run a business? When you pay for a snack, you pay not only for a snack, but also for a stolen snack. When you pay for a Intel x86 processor, you also pay for failed Intel iAPX 432 which never appeared in the market.

Risks are pretty material, and should be payed for. When you are starting a project, you never know in advance whether it would be successful or not. If it fails, the only way to pay the salaries and costs is through revenues of other projects.

> If it were the reward for decision making, the rate of profit would diminish the more you sell something the same way and in the same place, since there are fewer decisions to be made for each subsequent commodity.

Strange inference. Not the number of decisions matter but their impact. If you sell something many time, it means that the first one decision was very clever and rewarding. Not to mention that revenues are falling with time and it requires new strategies and decisions to make your company competitive and profitable again.

> The capitalist labours the monetary equivalent of $1, i.e he spends $1 on his labour power, producing a total of $2 worth of labour

Again, I see no evidence that labor creates any objective value on its own. Goods have value, labor has value as a good evaluated by an employer, but it does not "create value". If you make a chair, you apply labor, but if nobody values it and nobody buys it, it has no value, hence your labor has no value.

How did you evaluate that capitalist labors $1? Maybe his decisions and ability to take risks cost $100, and his workers are just freeriding him? How exactly did you infer that he spends exactly $1 of labor power? What is a labor power, how could you measure it objectively?

Forget about capitalists, here is a simple though experiment: there are two workers living in a commune and owning the means of production. They do chairs and sell it to the outer capitalist world. One worker is a carpenter who does the woodwork. Another one make nails. They sell chairs for $1, which share of this $1 each of than created? How to measure that objectively?

After that add a capitalist who start the business, takes risks, credits, make decisions and devise strategy. How to evaluate the "value" of his activity?
Where did migrate to?
They could just tombstone the user and not treat them like a normal user. I imagine they are trying to clean up indexes and evidence that their network is just tie with abuse.
I know what PDFs look like, they don't have my Google account in the upper right corner. It's a Google page wrapped around a PDF.
Ah this picture makes it more clear. Odd 6 though.
That isn't a redemption.

Redemption means I give the tether corporation some tether and they burn that tether and hand me back USD.
Western = Anglophone? I suspect cultural norms are quite different in Italy, Greece, Spain and other countries.
Venus has a quite stable climate. It just happens to be extremely hostile to life.
The same person that can make a living on low balling web programming contracts on other sites can make a LinkedIn profile and do it there, too.

What I have found interesting while doing some recent interviews for full time, remote developers is people are basing salary expectations on the top labor markets, not the ones they reside in. If you are operating out of a marginal marketplace and have gone remote because of the pandemic, this can take you by surprise if you think "now I can hire people anywhere".

My second point contradicts my first point, to the extent they overlap.

Really, though, if one believes in marketplaces setting a price and some person is willing and capable of doing my job for 1/3 the cost, who am I to complain? There are many factors that play into being willing to accept the downsides of working with a team in an opposite time zone but to the extent that people are willing to deal with this, I say go for it. That's the world we have built and must now live in.
Why would you think that shooting and killing someone, except with a robot, would not be covered by current laws?
It is only a matter of time that members of such services will be declared as employees and will have to be paid minimum wage and get other perks (and also have the correct tax collected at source). Otherwise how this case is different from Uber? Just because someone is not sitting in the car for hours it doesn't mean the suffering is any different.
Its easy. The American welfare system distributes 40% of every dollar allocated (it rates as a C or D in the charity world). The rest goes to administration, which is another kind of welfare I guess.
We use Google+ as our company's internal social network. This is helpful because it maintains separation between personal social media and professional. Communities can be a great way to organise social event or share common knowledge.

Circles let you differentiate the content you share with work friends and wider colleagues.

I have absolutely no interest in using G+ for my personal life but it's a very handy tool for internal communication in an organisation.
Minor point: for some of us, HBO costs more than $15/month to add to our cable bills. (For me it is ~$21/month!)
Well, they are both exactly the same. The only difference is the particular way each accepts arguments, and it's easy to forget which is which. So yes you should know how they work, but the distinction between them is contingent and difficult to remember.

Thats just patently false. Anyone type UFO video 2014 in google. You will literally get 100s of hours of crappy film shot by people at the expected quality for anyone trying to shoot a moving ariel object with a cell phone. There has been NO drop off of sighting reported or videos created.

My guess is YOU stopped paying attention b/c xfiles was no longer cool...
It hasn't blocked them by default for a while now. It used to though.
This is a case of "Read like math" - you can't just skim this and get the ideas, you'll have to work with the text, fence with the examples, struggle with the notation, and fight your way through.

If you're not willing to put in the effort you wont gain much from this. But if you are willing to put in the effort, there is considerable insight to be gained.

And after all, what does one ever get for free? Anything worth having requires payment. For ideas and understanding, that payment is your time and effort.
Sherlock Holmes and the case of the runaway cpu cycles?
Maybe. Most people I know here in SF know that BC stands for British Columbia.
You will however trip a whole host of anti-trust laws in a number of countries. Europe, in particular, is usually pretty quick on the trigger with this.
The early homeworks in this class (Great Theoretical Ideas in Computer Science) were basically puzzles, where if you've seen the style of problem before you more or less knew the answer. The goal was to expose us to these types of problems and teach us how to think them through properly.

It was definitely one of the most fun courses I've taken.
It's also quite a lot easier to disallow them from using your twitter account.
I'm not an emacs user, but this is pretty awesome. Anyone know if something similar exists for Vim?
IANAL, but they are unlikely to hit anti-discrimination laws in many countries for anything outside a narrowly defined set of prohibited criteria for discrimination.

I think the biggest concern is that the social network effect creates a barrier to entry (it is hard to create a competing network with the same value to users as Facebook's because the value of people's existing networks outweighs the value of benefits like freer speech or a better user interface for most people).

Many governments regulate anti-competitive and monopolistic behaviour, with the aim of opening up competition in markets and allowing greater participation that way.

In this case however, Lamebook isn't really a competitor.
I agree. In a similar vein, I took a bunch of electronics classes and wasn't allowed to use my TI-92+ on the grounds that other students didn't have them. I though that was the biggest load of crap especially for a program that was geared towards workforce training. My employer is hardly going to say "I need you to do X, and oh by the way, if you try to use all the resources at your disposal, you're fired."
Check out Zimbabwe 1990 vs Zimbabwe 2010 (governance fail) and China 1990 vs China 2010 (governance win).

I always figured it was so that they could prevent the talent from seeing their, "Oh we've got such and such a job offer at blah", statement and then they just go and call up blah and say, "Hey, I heard you guys might be interviewing for a position."

Because if that happened, they wouldn't get their cut of the hire.
IB sucks, and is XML anyway, just very abstract. Seems if you want to do anything fancy with IB and custom controls you end up doing lots of your own code anyway: some things are only possible in code.
Other than that: many Android apps seem to look to replicate their cool iOS look. Foursquare looks very similar in both platforms, and there's some more examples.
Seems like you could make the same argument for foot binding.
I think there is a misunderstanding here; I believe that OP is referring to "infinite scrolling" where the list items are fetched from the server n items at a time as you scroll and wishing for a toolkit that keeps the data in memory and recycles elements as you scroll (which is what everyone is recommending). When OP says "hack" they are talking about loading data as you go, not windowing, which is what you are talking about.
Sounds like an argument for LO and removing all the startup programs, disabling extra services, SSD etc.
>My point is just that, just because this post may be common knowledge to you does not mean that it's common knowledge to most people (especially considering the number of upvotes)

I know that, and the term banality should should not be confused with commonality with the the general populace. There is a relationship ofcourse between the two.

( I blame myself for being inaccurate, not a gifted writer ...)

> "I know this, so clearly everyone must"

The opposite actually is true for me.

You see, news that splashes at you is still annoyance( like the ads). It becomes hard to filter out noise from usefulness. It's an ongoing battle. Of course you might ask, as to why I even click a post like this. There is good reason for that - among the hysterical fanboys, there is often the occasional critic who is of value to me.
> It seems the entire decision of using secp256k1 was made to avoid secp256r1. This is another piece of evidence that Satoshi Nakamoto must have beee active in the 1990-2000 cypherpunk community, so that he was well-aware of those discussions. This should shed some light on his possible identity.

I was well aware of all that, at the time and now, without being active in the cypherpunk community. Granted, I was in college for a CS and math degree, but the cypherpunk community was pretty loud if you were listening at all.
Yeah I'm not sure why some states are so strict. I wonder if it because some states offer more social programs? Like some states expanded who could qualify for healthcare? Like the 3 RV states people recommend don't have expanded medicaid. It's like states are saying no thanks to free money... Get registration fees, can then tax their income, etc.

But I guess that's their loss and SD has carved out a niche for themselves.

Then also was doing research randomly about colleges, you could be a resident for taxes but not for in-state tuition. Then if you lived in California but your parents decided to retire to Florida... but if you wanted to stay in California for school, since tuition goes by your parents domicile while still a dependent. There could be a period of time you won't be eligible for instate tuition in California anymore, but not yet in Florida yet either as some states it can be 12 months or more to qualify. Sometimes it's a full calendar year, not staying for six months. Then also it seems schools like info on parents even if you aren't a dependant anymore, was reading someone in his 30s was going back for his masters and the admissions person was giving him a hard time for leaving his parents info blank. I wonder if maybe they wanted it to help track him down for any future unpaid debts maybe, seemed really odd to me but maybe it's common.

I got accepted in a school in Florida but never went as my family didn't want me taking out a lot of loans. It was a private school, so tuition being in state or not didn't matter. But they asked for contact info for my step dads work, wanted another family members info like say a uncle, friends contacts, etc. Was doing it all over online over the phone and e-signing stuff. 60,805 total for four years, but that didn't include housing and they were a bit pushy. The rep even asked if you want to be like your parents and stuff to try and pressure you.

Eat 1 or 2 brazil nuts a day, and you should get plenty of selenium. Apparently eating more than 5 a day can cause selenium poisoning, so probably do some reading before eating too many.
We still have junk like PoLi [1] which asks you for your internet banking credentials, and government departments u se this.

No. Because the mass of particles in vape smoke to cause smell is not the same as the transmission density of viral particles needed to cause viral transmission. I believe it takes inhalation of at least 1000 particles of covid for there to be a reasonable chance of transmission. This is not necessarily anything similar to "smell" density of smoke. Whereas Co2 density measures the density of air particles in the ambient air.
Yeah we disabled the auto updates and orchestrated the updates ourselves. Saved our bacon multiple times when kernel/systemd/docker bugs got pushed out.

This is similar to a self-driving car having to decide who
should die in case of an accident - children on the street
or grandparents on the sidewalk (for example).

This is discussed from a philosophical point of view on
Arte[1] (french with english subtitles). Specifically in
form of the Trolley Problem[2].

What I see as a bigger problem is that since AIs are so
complex, there is simple way to understand why the AI
decided the way it did in a particular situation.

So the question becomes are we willing to accept AI deciding
over life and death and in addition, do we accept that we're
not able to decipher why AI decide how it decided?

They wouldn’t have to “track” it scientifically in a database.

They would just know implicitly by observing their customers who are right in front of their eyes. (At least pre-covid)
JSR 310's Instant class and notion of absolute time has always left me wondering whether any time library in any language attempts to handle relativity. Does anybody know of any?
I think you’re missing the wood for the trees a bit here. Firstly, the scale of the incident in TX went for beyond what could be handled by demand management through price controls anyway- most of the supply isn’t designed to handle those temperatures. No rate was going to increase supply (which is obviously half of the equation). On the demand side it’s a much more complex question than demand being inelastic. No matter what the price Ted Cruz was going to continue to heat his hot tub (in case he wanted a dip once he’d flown back from Cancun) whilst those who are in poverty are likely to have ended up unable to hear their homes simply because they couldn’t afford the price. And that’s the problem with using price- there is a minimum amount of electricity people need, and some people won’t be able to afford that minimum before others even think about turning off the flood lights on their tennis court.

Essentially the effect of what you’re saying is poor people would be priced out of an essential utility to ensure rich people get a stable supply.
You left out the next sentence of that, which completely changes the meaning

A person will often share thoughts about pivotal moments in their lives with a large group of people.

The author meant you should not assume that because someone is quoted that they directly spoke to him. He got some quotes from public sources.

The article implies fractal dimension, e.g. a 2.1 dimensional fractal on a 2D sheet, could allow more computation.

Is that true? Could one make CPU on a 2D chip surface in a fractal pattern and use that for faster computation? Or fancy supercomputer topologies?

I always thought fractal dimension was more of an abstract concept, not actually practical. Sounds awesome though.

Why don't you post your LinkedIn if you feel so strongly that we shouldn't be anonymous for our own protection?

I hate both extremes and I don't want to risk the thugs from either side (nazis or communists) bashing my skull in or trying to get me fired.
How many people are in positions of power that represent these leftist groups? I don't think it's in any way comparable to the fact that the far right literally have the US president on their side along with a sizable portion of the GOP.

Tankie leftists that support violence have the political weight as furry enthusiasts afaik.
And yet nuclear energy is one of the highest latent energy sources we have, orders of magnitude above solar, wind, coal and so on. If we blocked progress, then we'd have never discovered this.

The question is, how do you know something is bad before developing it? You oftentimes can't put the genie back in the bottle.
Yes. My formulation was sloppy - I didn't mean "unless" to imply that there can't be a prover. My argument was that without a full prover, you won't have a useful fitness function at all.

And even then recall/precision need to be 100%. And even if you could achieve that, you still end up with something that... generates statements that are provably true. Mild yay.

But that's not the problem. We can generate plenty of those. You want to identify the ones that actually advance the state of knowledge usefully.

The irony is he's also wrong, cloudfare canceled daily stormer and made a big fuss about it.
The issues are a bit more fundamental.

You can't practically fit 50TB on one machine and have reasonable performance, that means multiple machines with the data spread across them.

There's then two potential issues:
1) You're doing 1-to-1 joins across tables in a query, network latency may be an issue at high query rates
2) You're going 1-to-many or many-to-many joins across tables in a query, the resulting combinatorial explosion of data is too much to handle

You want to have your inner loops/joins as deep down in the stack as possible. If you can structure things so all the heavy lifting stays inside one rack/machine/NUMA node/ processor/core you'll be able to scale a good bit further further.

Designing things not to require joins, denormalising and putting it in a column store like Cassandra is also a good approach.
very interesting. thanks for sharing.
Powerhouse is a bit of an overstatement, especially with the GPU, which is honestly a pathetic offering for a device bearing the "Pro" name. Even still, the M1's multi-threaded performance can be topped by the cheaper Ryzen 7 4800u, which was shipping in $500 laptops long before the M1 even hit the market. It's actually kinda disappointing to me that Apple didn't take advantage of the 5nm node they spent so much time and money securing.
Everyone should browse with the "showdead" set to yes. I also would like to be able to comment on the dead posts, but I guess I'll just have to be happy with viewing them.
Why would there be a lot of opposing viewpoints that are buried under downvotes if you sort by controversial then? You’re making claims with no basis whatsoever.
The issue is that keeping the battery full past 80% is bad for it, but if you're always charging, that implies you always want it to be 100% ready not 80% ready.
I have 5. Ok six if you count the tandem.

Steel, aluminum, and carbon fiber, cover all the bases. I mountain bike mostly though so the tires can dampen a lot of the vibrations people suggest steel sucks up. Also, I think getting a good carbon bar on an aluminum bike does wonders for whatever vibrations the trail is kicking up.

I do agree about wheels though, good stiff wheels and a through axel completely change the ride of a bike versus old school aluminum rims with quick releases.
