The problem is that the system is quite rigged. Not only in UK , in Spain when new parties have tried to enter the stage, the media, own by the corporations who benefit from the politicians , have attack them fiercely , blatantly lying and manipulating the truth so they could not disrupt the establishment, including personal attacks. You could not believe all the bad news about Venezuela we have seen, and being tied to a new Spanish party like they were trying to do the same in Spain, suddenly, the day after elections Venezuela disappeared from the news and many more things like that

Sure it is. Put deuterium in the reactor and some of it will fuse, and they plan to do that. You can fuse deuterium on a home-built device in your garage, and that's technically a fusion reactor. It won't be a net energy producing reactor, but neither are any of the other devices we've built. We still call them fusion reactors, because fusion reactions happen in them.

It'd be silly not to put deuterium in the 7X, because you get a lot of information by observing the neutrons.

It's wonderful to see how bugs in network hardware are suddenly the problem of the registration authority and they need to delay a few years more.

By the way, which 3d Printer would you recommend for hobby use case?

1. Prefer plug and play, interested in making stuff not debugging 3d printers. Probably that exclude most of cheap 3d printers.

2. Hobby, so likely will go with FDM instead of SLA. FDM seems cheaper, faster and more materials for just a little precision loss.

3. Zortrax M200 (https://zortrax.com/) seems to be the best option. Any other suggestions?

Not compared to fast uranium reactors, which can use all the uranium instead of 0.7% of it. There's a couple times more thorium than uranium on land, but with the resulting efficiency it'd be economical to get the small amount of uranium you need from seawater, which has vastly more. Moltex, Terrapower, and others are working on fast uranium MSRs.

Note that with Andrew Wiles all the secrecy and seclusion almost exploded on his face. When he first came public with the Fermat proof someone found a flaw in it within 2 months.

It took another 2 years (he was ready to give up by then) to finally come up with a "fix" for the flaw that had been found.

So in the end he was only successful after exposing it to the public for scrutiny and breaking down the problem into something smaller.

Just a reminder that the Priceonomics blog is self-promotion designed to show clients they can get people online to viral-market the website/brand/service for them. The data and how it is presented may or may not be true, but it will definitely be about profitable content. As most of the consumers here seem to respond to the content by clicking through, upvoting, adding personal anecdotes, (perhaps sharing on FB or Twitter?) I'd guess this will be a successful advert.

Perhaps somebody trained in handling data could explain why 10 responses is enough to reflect the rest of a states population. Is it significant that out of 60,000 private data sets the company didn't have 10 from Vermont or South Dakota? If we're drawing conclusions based on geography, shouldn't we be able to determine which states have over 1000 responses, and which have less than 100?

Is AWS Lightsail the ticket to unlimited outbound bandwidth for $5/month?
If I recreate a Lightsail VPS every hour does the outbound bandwidth counter reset? Amazon says "Your Lightsail instances are charged only when they're in the running or stopped state. If you delete your Lightsail instance before the end of the month, we only charge you a prorated cost, based on the total number of hours that you used your Lightsail instance. For example, if you use the least expensive Lightsail plan for 100 hours in a month, you will be charged 67 cents (100*0.0067)." If so does this mean I can just pipe outbound traffic via a recreated lightsail instance every hour to get "free" unlimited bandwidth?

Theoretically yes, every star is a self-sustaining fusion reactor.

However, in practice not because fusion requires much more delicate conditions to work then fission. A breach in the reactor chamber would cause the plasma to quickly expand and cool down, which means the necessary conditions for fusion disappear. Basically fission can cause a self-sustaining chain reaction once started, while fusion requires very specific artificial conditions to be maintained.

There are a number of security issues which can come with symbolic links, especially with how user/group permissions are handled. There is also a lack of support for them in the ecosystem, which could introduce some strange problems (for example, whether specific apis follow them, or not). So I can understand why they're putting this behind a flag.

Bitcoin and other blockchains are not currency, they are platforms and infrastructure. Currently, Bitcoin doesn't have a lot of intrinsic value, but as more and more core services (DNS, identity, etc...) migrate over to the blockchain/s it will eventually increase its value and come out of the _initial_ speculative phase.

The blockchain is essentially a globally distributed transactional log, that allows you to build things that require synchronization and consistency, it just so happens that moving assets is the most obvious application.

Currently it's pretty slow, but work is being done, specially in ethereum to speed it up. Things like proof of stake over proof of work as well as sharding should make it a lot faster, and capable of processing several thousands of transactions a second. Ethereum is also the next step in the evolution of the blockchain, with the addition of a Turing complete virtual machine it is now possible to execute arbitrary code and have a truly programmable block chain. This allows it to be used for virtually anything without having to roll your own blockchain, for example you can program a truly distributed naming system that would allow alyisyng anything out there to human readable names, from IPs to to arbitrary hashes in a distributed file system, or even fisical people, granted they have a virtual presence of some sort and and a unique hashed handle.

The other important aspect of it is the possible symbioses with the distributed/decentralized web or web3 or next web. Decentralization seems to be the theme for the next several years, and I personally am extremely optimistic about some or all of it becoming real and currently actively trying to contribute to it in any way I can.

However for decentralization to become economically vaiable an intrinsic way of incentivation is required and this is one more place where the blockchain will be what makes it possible.

To sumarize:

* Blockchain is a platform not a currency

* It enables synchronization on a global distributed scale

* "Next web" and blockchains go hand in hand. On the one hand providing the backbone infrastructure required to run some critical parts of web3, on the other providing a transparent digital aset management system which you can build incentivation on top of.

On a side note, I wouldn't necessarily trust Buffet and company on this one, for one, it requires a pretty good understanding of the technologies involved to be able to make any sort of informed prediction, and I'm not sure if you can perform any sort of typical fundamental analysis on it at all, which is a common practice in his business line, and yes currently the bitcoin price might be somewhat speculative, but that will change as more and more core infrastructure relies on it.

As for scammers, raids and etc... That's pretty common in a nascent complex and deregulated environment such as this, remember the WWW at the beginning ;)?

I disagree (a bit). A 100 msec pause is perceptible by a human, and can lead a user to leave your website or you app, especially is the pauses are compounded among several serialized remote procedure calls.

He's also written a large article designing a garbage collector[1], which was very interesting to read.

Cabling is actually serious business; from an electrical standpoint, there is impedance matching, delay matching, cable shielding for EMI/C, etc. Then the connector itself has a slew of mechanical requirements: mate/demate cycles, tolerances, thermal. Then it all needs to be made for a reasonable price - there are entire groups of engineers that band together to produce specifications so that things like Ethernet cables can exist and give the performance that people need, while being interoperable.
I use an US keyboard.

There are two reasons for that:

1- I learned typing on a QWERTY keyboard first (on terminals and TTYs in 1975);

2- but foremost, I noticed that most programming languages are designed in the US, or by people using a US keyboard, and use the special characters of the ASCII character set easily available on a US keyboard layout.

When you try to type programs on a different layout you will quickly notice that each special character needs more complex key combinations to be typed, which gives a much less fluid typing of programs.

For natural language text, it wouldn't make a lot of difference, since there is a much lower ratio of special character to alphabetic characters.

Now if your programming language was Qalb, then I would definitely advise to use an Arab layout: http://nas.sr/%D9%82%D9%84%D8%A8/
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qalb_(programming_language)

There's little difference between the US and UK keyboard, however, I much prefer the wide horizontal return and left shift keys of the US keyboard than the narrow vertical return key and the truncated left shift key of the UK (and other "international" keyboards). (Strangely enough I use almost exclusively the left shift key over the right one). So I would definitely advise to explicitely ask for a US qwerty keyboard, and not just a QWERTY keyboard because some vendor will then just deliver you an UK keyboard.

A final point: we use a lot of different computer hardware and systems; each hardware has its own human interface variants (keyboards, trackpads, mices, trackpoints), with different software keyboard layout and functions (notably regarding the modifiers and function keys). IME, this is where most of the pain comes! This can be solved by using the same keyboard and pointing device on all your computer systems. Happily, nowadays it's easy to do, thanks to USB and bluetooth: you can buy eg. half a dozen Filco Otaku Tenkeyless keyboads and half a dozen HP logitech 3-button optical mice, and thus have the exact same physical interface to all your computers. Remains then only to configure the software keyboard layout and modifiers keys identically on all you computer systems (easily done with Xmodmap on X11, harder to do on macOS and MS-Windows, but still possible. At least, if you use emacs (but as a programmer, I assume you DO use emacs), you can always remap all the keys and modifiers to be exactly the same everywhere, if only inside emacs).
Tao's article reminds me Poincaré's "Science and Method" book (1908) where it is explained how to split/address big tasks/problems over long periods of time.
Oh, that was a painful read. Repeatedly they mentioned that all development to this point wasn't able to provide a cheap enough solution for the common user. And if you ever had a 3d printed piece in your hand you also know that the desktop printers still are not detailed and flexible enough.

So in end effect the current status doesn't proof at all that there is not a market, just that the technology can't reach market yet.
I believe the year numbers were used by logicallee only as an example. Of course, if somebody is trying this, they need to figure out a different (smaller) time scale that actually works.

In the worst case, you have to follow each commit in the version control system of the compiler, but I'm pretty sure you don't need to do it that fine grained.
> Anyone can fire-up a word processor and produce interesting looking documents and flyers.

Actually, even this is harder than it seems. Having worked as a teacher, I saw many teacher create their own materials. They created handouts, pamphlets, worksheets, exams, short instructional materials, and some even whole text books. Compared to profession stuff from publishers, these self-made artifacts were often awful. The artifacts worked, of course, but typesetting, layout, illustrations, printing, and editing were almost always sub-par.

The most common example of this was trying to fit a worksheet or exam on one sheet A4, printed on both sides. As a result, my colleagues and I chose to use smaller fonts, smaller margins, decreased image size, less whitespace, and so on. Over-all, we ignored the intended readers (also known as our students), and focused on secondary matters such as ease of distribution.

On the other hand, where these instructional artifacts did shine was with respect to their practical applicability and usefulness because they were custom made (by the teacher) to fit a very specific situation (their classroom). Which is why readily available computers, software, and printers are such a powerful and awesome tool for a teacher.
> I am a big fan of golang for some workload but the GC will kill performance in a database, wouldn't?

Cassandra and HSQLDB are written in Java for example which usually suffer from much larger GC collections/pauses (though you can read a book or two on the subject and tune it). So is Neo4j, a graph database. Or Datomic in Clojure (which runs on the JVM). Then there's Mnesia written in Erlang. A time series database, or a graph database, is quite different from a more general purpose database like Postgres/MySQL and means you need to consider different things.

GC isn't necessarily an issue for high throughput (read or write). A lot of it depends on how much pressure you're putting on the GC (this is true for any type of application). Being aware of how your chosen language's GC behaves paired with the (typical) usage/behaviour of your code is probably the more important thing to consider. Just because something is written in a language without a GC doesn't automatically make it performant either.

It's kind of correlated with size - the smaller the animal is, the easier it is to survive after losing a limb. For a horse, even a broken leg is likely to be fatal.

A missing foot is survivable for a lynx much more so than for a human in the absence of modern medical care.

The same applies for evolutionary pressure in the case of hypothetical regeneration. A lizard can take ~2 months to regenerate a limb, for a human it would take longer simply since the limb is larger and needs to grow more. Prehistoric humans and hominids were calorie limited - if an injured individual is capable and likely to (a) survive for e.g. half a year with the injury and (b) to obtain much more calories than normal to rebuild many pounds of tissue, then apparently there is no strong evolutionary pressure to favor regeneration it as he/she is capable of procreating almost as well even without this feature.
