Ethereum is such a mess! I have a close friend that invested $12k in ether, then the value increased to $40k, then he invested a ton into the DAO, which tanked, then he doubled down and purchased even more DAO at a discount on the assumption of a fork that would reimburse DAO tokens to parity and he would make a killing. He's sweating bullets over all of this. Last night he was going nuts over the soft fork crisis. I don't know how he does it, $12k is a lot for him
Imagine a language where you work with blobs of data and have no restrictions on the operations between them. Like assembly languages. You can add a char* and float and the compiler won't complain. I would call that untyped. A typed language restricts the operations you can perform on blobs of data by classifying them.

A user could build a more restrictive type system on top of an already typed language. The distinction between a type system and an arbitrary source of runtime errors is that a type system has the properties i described earlier, and also it has the cohesion you would expect from it being a "system". A smattering of if statements wouldn't qualify.

That's one way to look at it I guess. Everyone has their own working definitions so I still it's still reasonable if you consider dynamically typed languages to be untyped.
For me, yes. For others, no idea.

The argument I have often heard is that access to credit can be an equalizer. Obviously using credit is high risk at these asset price levels though, but a mortgage is how most average people get to participate in asset inflation.
Because He nuclei are not the same as He atoms since they are not electrically neutral. Also, they generally have higher energy after being released from the larger Uranium or other atomic nucleus which causes them to behave differently from an He nucleus that wasn't released as an alpha particle. This all is important in terms of tracking what happens to subsequent decay reactions.

As usual, people say "no offense" when they are about to offend me :)

I have actually read more than one "person". McGuff actually has some credibility, and cites many scholarly articles in his book. However his method is not aimed at competitive weightlifters, which suits me as I don't have hours to spend at the gym every week, or a desire to get huge. I do expect to be stronger than approximately 99% of my peers by the end of the year though, which in my book is a bit better than "strong for me".

Brotli is not as good as an image compression algorithm because it is strongly tuned to the "typical" workload for Web (have you looked at the preset dictionary? :-), not images.

I would instead suggest FLIF [1], which roughly consists of an image-specific context model, adaptive entropy coding and general interlacing (that makes any sufficiently long prefix of the file a valid approximation to the original image). Still in development, but seems very promising.

>our riches cannot be explained by the accumulation of capital, as the misleading word capitalism implies. The Great Enrichment did not come from piling brick on brick, or bachelor's degree on bachelor's degree, or bank balance on bank balance, but from piling idea on idea.

"brick on brick, or bachelor's degree on bachelor's degree, or bank balance on bank balance" does not have anything to do with neither Marx's nor Adam Smith's definition of capital. And both already knew the importance of ideas...
My previous team studied allowing similar queries, and we didn't see anything so easy to interpret into a query. In testing, users typed in a lot of strings that couldn't be interpreted (by machine or human), or which were ambiguous.

It may be that people have gotten used to Google/Bing accepting crap queries and still showing a decent rezult. But, I suspect the main problem is they couldn't explain what they wanted to a human, at least not without considerable conversation.
Societies need financial infrastructure. Very little of it can be replaced with software, and innovations in finance is just as important to economic development as technology is.

Investing 101: never invest more than you can afford to lose.

I shorted ether after this whole debacle started but the fact it's still trading above $10 is mind-boggling. I believe in the technology and that this will benefit it in the long-term but for now, it's either in one huge bubble or someone is fixing things up.

Not surprising in the slightest.

That smells funny and oddly specific.
> "In addition to its impact on drivers, blue-rich LED streetlights operate at a wavelength that most adversely suppresses melatonin during night."

I wonder if this ends up saving thousands of lives by decreasing fatigue in drivers. The blue light argument seems like absolute hogwash; we're exposed to orders of magnitude brighter blue light every day. It's called daylight, and the streetlights dont't even emit UV.
Why wouldn't a founder invest in something they created and believed in? This is how any founder makes money, they put time/money into their creation, hoping it will pay off. I must be missing something?
While I miss the seasons a little bit (mainly thunderstorms and snow for a little bit), Seattle is WAY better than the midwest. I'll gladly take mild weather over hot humid summers and winters so cold all you see during the winter outside are bundles of clothing walking around.
Thats pretty much exactly what people do. If you are feeling bored, you can check the post and pre flight installer package scripts of some of your most used software.

Regex system versions, string compare versions in Ruby (great for "10.9" -> "10.10"), check that their installer package (an OS X binary) is running on... OS X. Sometime developers do this out of ignorance, sometimes its done out of laziness (don't want to do anything platform specific), or business decisions (don't want to do anything platform specific!) or because there was no better way to do it (no supported API).

How about applications that have an installer, lay themselves down in /Applications/ then have a folder inside called "Plugins", from which they load relative arbitrary code? More common than you might think!

Why haven't people realized the bitcoin-esque products are all Ponzi schemes that developers hope to cash in on? If the product has even mild success, the developer has created wealth for themselves.
IMO there's nothing wrong with him owning the tokens. But he, and every other core developer, should have explicitly disclosed this before any discussion of a soft/hard fork. He can't be the only one core developer who does. And to be honest, I would want the other core developers to have invested in something like the DAO.

But we need to know who has what stake in these decisions and be able to evaluate how that may influence their opinion.

Following the same logic; Zuckerberg controls most of Facebook's shares, it must be a huge Ponzi scheme.

They've proposed a hard or soft fork of the software. Them owning these tokens may bias them to serve their own interests above those of the Ethereum project as a whole. Even if they remain completely unbiased, there is at least the appearance of conflict of interest which may harm the project.

I don't see any problem as long as this was disclosed ahead of time.

My friend invested $5000 at a blackjack table in Macau, at one point his $5000 had increased to $40000. He ended up walking away with $2000.

The difference between the two stories is that my friend friend had a really good time. Why? Because he knew that he wasn't "investing", he was gambling. If your friend is gambling with more than he can afford, he has a gambling problem and should seek help.
That's the cool part about consesus, if the majority of miners disagree with the fork, even the founder himself can't do anything about it.

Giving oneself a nice starting position is a necessary, but not sufficient, condition for a Ponzi scheme.
Thats actually not how hard forks work. If the nodes run by the exchanges, the "economic majority", decide to fork, pretty much everyone else has to follow. Miners don't really have a say.
> The difference between adding symbols to a language with product types (i.e. consing) and simply having algebraic data types in your language is that symbols are untyped, and so you're allowed to compare apples and oranges (they're inequal). This isn't terribly useful, as it's almost always a mistake to do it.

You are taking one trivial use case of Lisp-style symbols (enums) and completely ignoring their value as first-class identifiers that come as part of the language.

Lisp is not a functional programming language.

In PoW, ultimately the miners have the say. It's just that they're incentivized to do what the "economic majority" has to say, otherwise the economic majority can choose to hard-fork the mining algo (requiring a change in hardware investment), or, can switch to PoS, say.

Even without fonts there are still user mode callbacks and other problems.
Bitcoin certainly provides a plenty of value to many people, I can't remember the last time I wasn't paid in bitcoin. And it's not because I don't accept other forms of payment, but because other forms of payment really suck when you need to instantly send larger amounts of money to someone.
Indeed, I have as much sympathy as your friend as someone who stresses over his 'investments' in alpha quality cryptocurrency software.

The primary motivation should be investing in technology and the concepts behind it, not looking for instant-rich ROI.
I agree. Though, Kansas City, MO has a decent tech base (for the midwest) and you can still get much cheaper housing costs than anywhere in SV, or even Austin.

That would be a soft fork. For hard forks, the miners have very little input.

I live in a country with backwards financial laws; no PayPal and ridiculous credit card regulations. Bitcoin has been the only way I could purchase stuff/ pay for books/servers online. No one can take away the fact that it has changed my life more than Facebook ever could. Certainly I am one data point but to discard the entire technology just because one doesn't see the value in it seems self-centric and hasty.
I have plenty of criticisms of hypothesis testing and p-values. Nevertheless, if you choose to run that type of analysis, do it right - this means sticking with your analysis and not using weasel words like "almost statistically significant" when it doesn't come out the way you want. Incidentally, the real p-value is 11.075% since they ran two hypothesis tests and didn't adjust for multiple comparisons.

Your analysis might be right - if so, that's interesting. I'll take a closer look and write a followup piece if true - among other things glancing at your ROC curve suggests they are pretty close, and perform better for whites in some regions and better for blacks in others. But it's 7:30AM (pre-coffee) and I haven't looked closely yet.

But since PP did not do any of this, my criticism of them holds - they ran an NHST, got the wrong result, and then spouted a bunch of anecdotes instead of admitting that their analysis went against what they wanted to find.
The creators creating massive wealth for themselves does not imply that the thing was necessarily a ponzi scheme that destroyed wealth. For example, the price of Bitcoin may never go down. See Moldbug's definition of money, as being essentially a bubble.

Has anyone here read Programming in the 1990s or A Logical Approach to Discrete Mathematics?

Symbolic computing is a powerful concept. How does one model something simple that we take for granted such as assignment? Here's a hint: look to Liebniz and Tony Hoare. Symbols and syntactic substitution give you powerful abstractions over expressions. Everything in Lisp is an expression. Symbols give you the ability to develop concepts built up from complex expressions. They let you reason about substitution, equivalence, etc. That's the real power: they're a tool that lets you think above the code.

And as others have pointed out, Common Lisp is typed. Type-declarations, though optional, are amenable to static analysis. And the interesting thing about Lisp that I haven't explored much yet is the ability to generate a specification in a higher-level language like PVS perhaps and generate the type annotations from that. The implementation would then have to satisfy the annotations in order to validate the program.

Nice article. A Gentle Introduction is a neat book.
Holding onto code gives researchers a competitive advantage over other researchers when performing follow up papers. I'm not saying this is a good thing, rather this is something to be aware of.

Also, the burden of proof is usually on someone to disprove a paper, rather than proving it, so having someone reimplement it (possibly in another, but similar, manner) allows a fresh pair of eyes at the research topic.
To be honest, I am not familiar with other forms of trading so I didn't want to make that statement.

Well, if you don't find a new mining algo that requires investment in new hardware, a blockchain with a minority of mining power behind it is vulnerable to the major chain. So nobody will use it, unless they didn't know what they were doing.

So the miners do have quite a bit of say. Depends on what your strategy for hard-forking the PoW algo is. Or, you need to understand PoS.

It's in the blog post. Read it :P
A filter to block out a bit of the excess blue light? This would reduce the effectiveness of the light output though, unless you amped up the output to raise all of the colors and then selectively suppressed the blue to help balance it out. Then this would require extra energy, which defeats the purpose of using LEDs to save energy.

Well there is a small caveat in this case. The majority of the people doing the mining run on clients that are hosted on just a few github repositories that are run by the main development team. If the developers push changes to these repos implementing the soft/hard fork... yes it is theoretically possible for these miners to reject the changes and continue on mining using the old clients but what is probably going to happen is that practically everyone is going to update to the new client and accept the forks as a patch. This is for the simple reason that most people want to keep their clients up to date and have no strong opinions on the matter. This way the development team can turn every "I don't care" vote into a "fork" vote. The idealization of independent miners is for all practical purposes an illusion.

Didn't Amazon start off in that weird decrepit hospital near Beacon Hill? I mean, SODO could very well have been Seattle's tech hub in an alternate timeline. Though if I get your gist, the point is that the decision was made before any big tech revival.

I remember SLU in the 90's, it was shady and dying. But when I think about SLU today, and how close it is geographically to the heart of the city, it seems like such a lost opportunity that it's now just a sprawling office towers instead of something more vibrant. After 7pm, the whole area from Denny to Capitol Hill just shuts down.
Dude, he wrote the blog post. lol

But you do make a good point, miners are centric to the platform. However, they have to all agree in order to make their opinion matter. Which requires a very strong opposition to the hard fork, in this case the hard fork is the best option so they'll agree either ways.
You can just use a different color of LED. Honestly people in Seattle, where these LED lamps were first piloted, have been raising these concerns for at least 4 years. This is the product of some combination of bad design, a lack of user-centered thinking at the utilities, and less than ideal incentives.

For example, daylight led's were touted as making it easier to identify cars involved in criminal activity because you can see the color of the vehicle more easily. But how many times has this actually made the difference in solving a crime?
