I think Satoshi has stayed silent because he is a classic example of a tech scientist/scholar.

He has carefully weighed the options for and against and has decided he prefers the quiet life as opposed to turning himself into Kim Dotcom v2 (given the current media culture). Should he have chosen to reveal himself, he would most likely never be able to work in peace again. His every move, word, detail of life would be endlessly examined -- thus breaking his inner peace.

As it is, he can now confidently take on another identity and merrily continue his life of the mind; if he wishes he can even use the same pseudonym and present Bitcoin v2.

The fact that he doesn't seem to worry about the money locked up under his key re-enforces my suspicion that this is already a person who is comfortably well off: Neal Stephenson.

Ditto. I've got an MX510 (blue) and a MX518 (grey), both are great and although are over a decade old by now are still in regular use (the MX518 is my daily critter on my main machine). Not had a days trouble with either of them.
Continuing your analogy, cell phones are like supermarket barcode scanners: weak and clearly red. It does not really matter how many of them you cram into a room, you can still send morse code with a green laser.
All devices have small daylight lamp attached to them, the power of which is rather strictly regulated (IEC-61000, if anyone is interested). If you cram a lot of them into a room, morse coding with that green laser becomes difficult. You could increase power/brightness of the laser and call the problem solved. But then try to measure brightness of your lighting fixtures - becomes quite difficult.

So no, proliferation of cell phones is only a problem for cell phones (one of the reasons for migrations 2G -> 3G -> 4G). The real problem are other devices transmitting in cell phone spectra effectively DDoS'ing them.
What makes you such an expert on long lived intelligent species? As far as I know, we're all working from the same sample size of one, with a written history and cultural memory that are evolutionarily insignificant.

For all we know, it may be the only long term path of survival for an intelligent species is to accept absolute dictatorship of a genocidal/eugenicist bent. I hope it's not, but if the 20th century's taught us anything, it's that any kind of non-evidence based wishful thinking towards an abstract ideal is probably the most dangerous thing.
I'm implying that non-low carb diets aren't as effective in my experience as they make me feel hungrier, thus making me want to always eat more than I should to lose weight.
Maybe I should have used "essentially" instead of "fundamentally". What I meant was that the only way your investment in bitcoin will return a profit, is if there are more people after you willing to invest in the scheme. This is identical to a ponzi scheme.

Now, you can argue that this is true for all commodities. But all other commodities have some other utility backing the value of the commodity. Bitcoin has practically none, as discussed in my other points of the challenges of bitcoin as money.

And even that bitcoin as fixed amount of currency theory is a bit questionable. There is no reason why a fractional reserve bitcoin bank could not pop up and create bitcoin-as-payment-money out of thin air, as the current financial sector does with fiat money. (This would obviously allow a mechanism to regulate the total bitcoin money supply, but then bitcoin would lose it's whole raison d'etre. Catch-22.)
Just to clarify. There are many smart and intelligent people among the Eastern Europeans who've moved beyond that level. It's just I've never encountered that type at the interviewing table. Those that I've seen were mostly interested in scratching their ego, proving their smartness to their bosses and putting down the candidate in public. Naturally, they were making a terrible impression of the company and I wouldn't have accepted to work there anyway (unless after a letter from the CEO stating they have all been removed from the company).

Because people often don't realize that if you want to hash a bunch of pieces of data in a cryptographically secure fashion, you have to serialize them (with an injective function). People tend to think that just somehow feeding it all into the hash function will take care of it, so simple concatenation is common, with occasionally disastrous consequences.

The thing I find repellent is this: she is offering up a replacement set of rules that everyone else should follow. It reminds me of Jacob's behavior. That guy sat in judgement of and shamed people like a catholic priest. But she does it too, without any sense of irony or introspection.

I think the repellence comes from cognitive dissonance.

I recognize that most people are probably way more social than me. So maybe you are also averse to this kind of compassionless judgement of other people's behavior.

For what it is worth, I find these people making proclamations about how everyone should behave (in particular, based on their field of interest) to be world champion fart sniffers. Hopefully some day they will grow up and stop demanding that other people conform to their whims.
As someone with a mental hesitation (not quite a block) on food advertised as vegan, my reasoning is due to the type of food I'd expect. If it's advertised as vegan, I'm expecting food that would otherwise not be vegan that has been compromised to make the vegan version. If it's not advertised as vegan, I'm expecting food that just happens to be vegan, but is not the intended goal of the food. It's good food compared to all food vs good only compared to vegan food.

Take veggie burger patties. I've had some that were not made to resemble meat, but were just vegan ingredients in patty form, that are on par with some of the best meat burgers I've had. I've never had a veggie patty that was supposed to taste like meat that I could finish a bite of.
As much as I want to cheer this it leaves me with the sour thought that modern Apple robbed kids of the joys the original Apple afforded. Growing up with the Apple II+ in our home I was programming from an early age because that was the primary activity you could do with one right out of the box. Look at the loops you have to run through to unleash the power of the iPad. Developer accounts, EULAs, closed APIs. Where is the modern equivalent of computer clubs where most members could code or at least were interested?
The model has no idea what stock it is predicting. It is just a random ID that represents a security. Further, there are no encrypted charts and no ability to backtest your model outside of the small amount of data provided by Numerai. Download the csv's. They are much smaller than I expected.
Or they can just keep doing what their doing, just keep denying that anything else than the trump files were hacked and everything is fine.

They can do whatever they want, but then people can look at this shitshow of a story and draw their own conclusions.
The way I see it (continuing the simile): if you're writing something as critical as monetary transactions, everywhere is the wrong place to use eval in nodejs code. And when you're writing a dedicated language for monetary transactions, including eval in your API is just as wrong. The last part is why this issue affects all of ETH.

Solidify is a new language, specifically designed for Ethereum. If the response to contract issues like this is "but that's a known failure mode, don't do that", then that signals a problem with the language, not just the contract code.
He also believes a Muslim judge could be unfair to him because of his policies. I think the media is not really distorting his thinking but rather clarifying it. Similar to when he said Obama has something else going on with regards to radical Islam. He didn't say it, but said people should fill in the blank. Also, his lawyers have never filed such a claim.

That's the state of the entire Python community. To get money, you need to get hype, and Python is anti-hype. We are people prioritizing on robustness, clarity, documentation, etc. Proven useful things. But because it disregard what we consider superficial and frivolous, we cut ourself from the same enthousiam and energy you can see in other community like JS or Ruby. And from money.

I recently decided to upskill my CSS knowledge and find out all the new (for me anyway) bits of CSS3. The way I decided to do this was by inspecting some of the styles used in Bootstrap and manually building (no copy-pasting) my own clones of those, researching the new elements when I encountered them. I've learnt loads along the way, and it's been a quite enjoyable journey.

It also means that I will have a nice lightweight CSS style set that looks very Bootstrappy, but isn't.

> 7 case fans

This sounds like too many fans to me. Fans can even have negative side effects on the air flow. Usually you want one flow from the front to the back. In some cases just the PSU fan is enough. You generally only want 120mm fans, as airflow rises faster than noise with size.
Sam Aaron is so inspirational to see in person - so focused on achieving something of cultural significance (teaching a generating to code by drawing them into music-via-code), so effective in his mission.

I wonder how the change in scarcity of resources will affect people's relationship with these subjects. Similar to yourself I grew up in an environment when information and software was hard to come by and thus highly prized. Books read beginning to end, games played to completion (often repeatedly), things like programming tutorials from print magazines completed then picked apart over several hours.

Part of me worries that making it all easily available will actually kill off kid's interests in subjects/skill sets that require some level of devotion before you see real rewards.
Even when engineering time is not an issue, Python stays. Look at dropbox: they convert a part of they code to rust for performance reasons. Yet they have no plan to replace the whole Python code base, because Python is very convenient to use for no performance critical part of the app that are affected by it's dynamic nature. And they are not that numerous. In the end, it's not just time, it's also a matter of confort and even pleasure.
The concepts of 'master' and 'control' may simply not apply here. I think the danger is that typical human ignorance and fear will slow what would otherwise be glorious, self driving cars that get me to where I need to be at 140 MPH average with no stops.

I don't know in what context "hot editing" was used to start this thread, but what I read in it is the idea that you can change code while it's running. Edit and continue has a different feel to it, because it works by a different method, by literally patching memory that the suspended thread is going to execute. It has the convenience of stopping the execution of the program before the patch is done. What "hot editing" in, say, Smalltalk has been able to do is you can have a live program running, you can call up a class that the thread uses, change the code in a method, compile it, while the thread is still running, and instantly see the change take effect. The reason it can do this is that method dispatch is late-bound. In .Net it's bound early. Late binding allows much more of a sense of experimentation. You don't have to stop anything. You just change it like you're changing a setting in an app., and you can see the change instantly. This gives you the feel that programming is much more fluid than the typical "stop, edit, compile, debug" cycle.
Scribble is amazing! I've seriously considered writing a Django template language plugin that would use Scribble. I'm convinced it's one of the nicest ways to write parametrised markup.

The main issue is, of course, that now you need to be running Racket on your machine as well when deploying. I'm sure it's possible to embed Racket, but I don't really hear about that happening so assume it's a bit tricky.

A property right is a "bundle of sticks."[1] It's a bundle of things you're allowed to do with respect to a piece of property. It is wholly legitimate to sell bundles with a subset of all possible sticks. E.g. a railroad might keep the surface rights to some land, but sell the air rights so a building can be built over its tracks.

Apple selling you a locked-down piece of hardware does not undermine your property rights. You get to freely exercise all the rights you purchased. Nothing is forcing you to buy a bundle of sticks that doesn't have the specific sticks you want.

> Building some nuclear plants will be able to feed anyone almost forever. Unlike solar energy that you need to keep in batteries for the night.

I completely agree that we should be ramping up nuclear generation, but nuclear alone also has a timing issue that requires either batteries or a hybrid approach to generation. Unlike fossil fuels where the plant can be dialed up and down to cope with demand, the output of a nuclear reactor is generally fixed (at least on the timescales relevant to demand fluctuation).

Solar can be a big help here, because demand tends to be higher during the day and lower at night. Some sort of energy storage technology would likely still be needed even with a full nuclear/solar grid, since energy usage in developed nations tends to peak in the early evening.

Sure. But what you quoted was a statement that the effect of low-carb didn't depend on ketosis. Which is a very different statement---though I don't know if it's true.

Is there any instructions for getting the Frank system (that you show off at talk) on a Linux computer? Even instructions with some missing steps to be filled in. It would beat recreating things from scratch from glimpses.

I find it much easier to explore with a concrete copies that can be queried with inputs and outputs, even if they are far from their platonic ideals. For example, the Ometa interpreter I wrote recently was much easier to make by bootstrapping the creation of an initial tree from the output of an existing implementations of Ometa.
That doesn't always work, and is still quite dangerous in the (abstract), usually your other programmers are friendly, but you should definitely be careful about it.

While some of the examples are more apt, iPhone/iOS actually integrates a good deal of open source software itself i.e. Darwin, WebKit, LibDispatch, Core Foundation, Swift, etc. Further the openness of Android has been called into question by many over the years. Android isn't just AOSP anymore than iOS is just Darwin. I imagine a degree of the innovation provided by OSS has helped Apple keep profit margins as high as they have.

Cell phones are running several receivers at the same time they're transmitting. The Bluetooth, GPS, WiFi, and GSM receivers all have to receive cleanly while the Bluetooth, WiFi, and GSM transmitters are transmitting. It's amazing that this works. Spurious RF noise from any of those transmitters would interfere with the receivers only a few millimeters away. So cell phone designers have to put effort into getting RF isolation right.

Computers were once big RF emitters, but the FCC cracked down on that successfully in the 1980s. In the early days of personal computing, a Radio Shack TRS-80 and a Milton Bradley Big Trak would both crash if close. In recent years, most computers got radio receivers for at least WiFi, and thus had to be built well enough not to knock out their own receivers.

Analog TV sets tended to emit loudly at the local oscillator frequency. The UK used to drive around with "television detector" vans to find people who didn't pay their TV tax, which funds the BBC. But tuners quieted down years ago, as they became tiny RF-tight sealed units.

The worst behavior comes from switching power supplies, especially for lighting. The cost pressure is very high. They don't receive, so they have no receiver to protect. Another big source of noise is leaky cable TV systems. Again, since they don't receive, they aren't affected by their own leakage. The cable industry has successfully lobbied to escape tight restrictions on cable system leakage. Those two sources are probably the source of most problems.

Low-cost spectrum analyzers are available, and some are laptop peripherals.[1] There are ones as cheap as $69 on eBay, but the consensus in EDN is that you have to pay a few hundred dollars to get something that produces useful measurements. People who install and maintain WiFi networks in large buildings usually have one. Then you can find what's blithering all over the spectrum.

100M is an order of magnitude more than 60M, by definition. "order of magnitude" doesn't mean "ten times as much", it means "you have to use another column to describe it"... and so 1x10^8 is an order of magnitude more than 6x10^7...
