I hear you and glad to confirm it's coming from a good intention, we're all going through our own personal hells and it's nice when we can help each other with them and not get lost in isolated bitterness. My initial irritation wasn't the religious connotations or wondering if there was an ulterior motive for gain, just the introductory "it's never too late to turn to..." phrase which accompanies unhelpful proselytizing so often. So don't be sorry, just interpret it as my feedback on the presentation rather than the content.
The sat link is downstream only. The benefit is obvious: you can run a full node with the cheapest lowest-bandwidth internet connection, while shifting the majority of your network traffic to the (free) sat link. You use your regular internet connection only for the occasional retransmissions, or transactions you emit, or blocks you mine.

I'd find which top python modules have not been ported to python 3 and port them to python 3, working in descending order of popularity. Anything to end version hell with python modules and their related installation, dependencies, documentation, examples, and tutorials.

Sure, it may be possible to get things working smoothly today, but that doesn't mean that all the areas I mentioned (documentation, etc.) have caught up. The primary reason they don't catch up is the straggler libraries keep many teams in a past era.

This documentary "Machines of Loving Grace" immediately comes to mind;

https://thoughtmaybe.com/all-watched-over-by-machines-of-lov...

Part one explores the myth that rose up in the 1990s that
computers could create a new kind of stable world: They
would bring about a new kind global capitalism purportedly
free of risk and failure, without the boom and bust of the
past, would abolish centralised political power, and
create a new kind of democracy mediated by technology and
the Internet, where millions of people would be connected
as nodes in cybernetic systems without hierarchy. This
film explores how this myth came to be by following two
groups that converged on the ideas. One is the small group
of disciples around the novelist Ayn Rand in the 1950s who
saw themselves as a prototype for a future society where
everyone could follow their own selfish desires and that
would somehow create a stable and equitable society. The
other is the digital entrepreneurs of Silicon Valley, many
of whom were also disciples of Ayn Rand, that espoused
grand visions of global utopia to be delivered by their
technology. They believed that new computer networks would
allow the creation of a society where everyone would also
follow their own self-interest but that would similarly
somehow miraculously bringing a stable and equitable
society too. They were joined by Alan Greenspan who had
also been a disciple of Ayn Rand, who became convinced
that the computers were creating a new kind of “stable
capitalism.”

No offense to the author, but what a tremendously stupid idea.

With technology becoming cheaper and cheaper, right now, you can get a good enough computer to access all the world's information (the Internet) for $25. I can imagine that price being more like $5 in the next 10 years.

Since the goal of investing is planning for the future, it'd be an enormous waste to spend all of that money on the antiquated concept of a library. It will be about as useful as investing the money in VHS tapes.

Better education-related goals for billionaires: make more of the copyrighted information available for free public use. Help increase access to good quality internet and computers in poor communities.

Marketing has a large discretionary budget in many organizations - usually the largest (discretionary) in many organizations. So that makes it a good target.

Sales will throw money at anything with a clear ROI. If you can reliably say it'll make salespeople 1% more effective, then that's an easy decision. If you look at Chorus.ai / Gong.io / VoiceOps - these are new sales tools that have really burst into the market.

That said, as a result of this, there is a lot of tech in both of those domains. Your customers will have a lot of tech and be bombarded with a lot of options. Is is very noisy and confusing. So it gets harder to get above that noise and stand out. Particularly in the early days.

So even in those cases, I think starting out in a niche can make sense (A niche of startups can be a good one for a bunch of reasons). Simplifies your approach to the market.

> This burden has fallen on women since they were teenagers. To expect them to do it yet again, to have to defend themselves at work this time, is ridiculous.

See "Self made man" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-Made_Man_(book), for a real-life experience of living as a man vs as a woman. Her conclusion at the end was that women have it much, much, easier, and she would much rather live as a woman than as a man.

i.e. maybe work is sexist and makes women prove themselves more than men have to. But that's only one aspect of peoples daily lives.

Where did you live in 1994? Who lives there now? Is the building still standing?

I'm sure I'd get mixed answers to that and that's still the physical world, not the virtual one where "buildings" can come and go at the press of a button.
Thank you for the extra explanations. But I'm afraid I still don't understand.

With Kerberos you have a single Id, yes but that is augmented by groups coming from LDAP and RBAC systems like Sentry & Ranger.

Also having another system issuing certificates automatically is a no-go in lots of companies and especially security conscious industries.

I'm not saying that there's not a market for what you're developing - I'm merely trying to understand and I have a hard time. Your homepage, I'm afraid though, is useless at conveying any information about what you're actually doing.
I'm not a fan of bussing. It is unfair to the good kids. "Bad" kids know how to deal with other "bad" kids. They grow up in that environment and know the rules of the game.

Good kids grow up in a different environment. The consequences of not knowing to handle oneself around "bad" kids are very high. There is no doubt that on average "bad" kids are much bigger bullies with lower empathy.

The consequences of not knowing how to conduct oneself around good kids as a "bad" kid are much lower in severity. For the most part, the parents of good kids set limits to the aggression of their children. For example, the biggest social rejects at my upper middle class schools weren't ever really bullied. People pitied the complete rejects and most people thought anyone who would bully the rejects is a complete douchebag.

I can't imagine how the social rejects or even the normal nerdy kids at my high school would have fared at a "bad" school.

Then there is the minority immigrant issue. Segregation is good for certain minority groups that do not have the language skills and cultural knowledge to integrate into America. They segregate themselves into a separate community that can provide support for its members. Desegregating these communities and their children will have negative effects.

The children of these immigrants will have the worst time dealing with the "bad" kids because they may have stunted language skills and lack cultural knowledge and context to be able to effectively navigate bad situations.

And to get a better picture of the winners and losers:

- > 90% of African Americans are born in America (and presumably have parents, family and connections who know English and understand American culture).

- Spanish is ubiquitous in the USA and the Hispanic population is huge. Hispanic people have a much lower need to congregate into a community compared to other minorities.
> a thousand cores can brute force its way through anything

This is so fundamentally wrong that your complete lack of understanding the underlying math is obvious. Let us use 1024bit RSA as the key to bruteforce. If we use the entire universe as a computer, i.e. every single atom in the observable universe enumerate 1 possibility every millisecond, it would take ~6 * 10^211 years to go through them all. In comparison, the universe is less than ~14 * 10^9 years old.

And this is for 1024bit, today we use 2048bit or larger.

Agree that private money is best used where public money isn't available... Bezos purchased the entire Washington Post - the 8th largest paper in the country with national readership - for $250M. [1] By comparison, the two library systems that service the Seattle area cost a combined $190M to run just in 2017. [2] [3] The reach and impact that can be achieved by strategic investments like the Post surely outweigh what little incremental improvements could be made in existing library systems.

I own and use a tablesaw for home maintenance, and occasionally building utilitarian furniture, loudspeaker boxes (musician here), etc. My saw is an ancient Sears Roebuck that a buddy found at a garage sale.

I'm aware of the SawStop technology, but haven't felt motivated to buy a brand new saw. The deal for me is simply that I don't have enough use for a saw, to justify buying a new one. I wouldn't recommend this approach to anybody else -- just using myself as an example of a person who has somehow rationalized keeping the old technology.

My approach is to limit what I do with the saw. My hands never go anywhere near the blade. For smaller workpieces, intricate cuts, etc., I use hand tools or just figure out a different design. I'm willing to waste wood rather than try getting one last cut out of a scrap. Also, I simply don't use it very often. Most of the time it sits with the blade retraced, covered with bicycle parts.

But in a lot of fields, it's impossible to discuss safety, or to get a straight answer about safety questions. Every technology has detractors with arguments that it is actually more dangerous. (Try reading web forum threads about bike helmets).
Need Money Now? Vital Suggestions Here for Unemployed
To be fair, movements are generally made up from people self-identify as members and thus movements get judged based on what those people say.

This happened in Sweden, and in one article I recall reading the comment that "there is no need for male kindergarten teachers" from local politician from the left block which identify as feminist (current left block call themselves as a feminist government). The left block was also in power during that time which created those restriction for male teachers. One argument used to defend those restriction was that science showed that most criminals of this kind is male, and thus argued that male employees were higher risk.

It would be hard to say anything about "The feminist movement as a whole". At the time, no movement was stepping up in support of the male kindergarten teachers.
Totally cool man, nice!
>I used to believe that, until I started to get into cryptocoin mining.

99% of the apps we use are totally unlike cryptocoin mining. And the style they are written (and more importantly, their function) is even more GPU resistant.

>The tooling isn't good enough yet, but there is no question in my mind practically everything will run on a GPU like processor in the future. The speedups are just too tremendous.

Don't hold your breath. For one, nobody's porting the thousands of apps we already have and depend on everyday to GPU.
Thus fulfilling Betteridge's law of headlines
I'd suggest getting an account and put in $500 you can afford to lose and start by googling for stock chart price and volume patterns and explanations and understand the idea behind them and evaluate whether the current crypto price and volume patterns match or not. And if so, what is your best guess for the next move? Have a read at Mr. Livermore's texts they are immensely useful.
That implies that google just keeps a large branch of useless employees around to avoid public discussions. Can this make sense financially?

> If it were more about human development, we'd be focusing on the deltas instead, and they'd be harder to fudge.

If you were scored based on delta, gaming it would be laughably easy. Just completely fail your first exam, and then steadily "improve" to your real skill level. That's basically incentivizing students to do what Intel does with processors :)
That's what Pinboard is for.
I can sort of buy that proper grammar-checking requires "human-level intelligence", but how is it possible to detect illogic, for instance, without the same? Typely would have to understand an argument's structure and actual meaning to prove logical soundness. Doesn't that require human-level intelligence, or at least as much as with a grammar-checking task?
They don't and wouldn't have to mandate that specific technology. They would specify it by the nature of the injury, not the nature of the prevention.
I don't like "side hustle", I'm really working hard.
Wow. I was thinking it could have been black history month or something that skewed the results, but I just googled it (from Australia, so it's not just domestic) and got the same results. Around page 4 the numbers reached parity. Even if history wasn't as brutal to African Americans you'd only expect them to reach 10%-20% on a list like that.
My bad, I should have been more precise: natural science, which is part of a "liberal arts" education.

"Academic areas that are associated with the term liberal arts include:

Arts (fine arts, music, performing arts, literature)

Mathematics

Natural science (biology, chemistry, physics, astronomy, earth science)

Philosophy

Religious studies

Social science (anthropology, economics, geography, political science, psychology, sociology, Linguistics, history)"

Note the absence of engineering disciplines.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberal_arts_education

Vs. engineering or engineering sciences.

See for example how Stanford groups things (CS is part of the "School of Engineering").

After several Jepsen's article on how bad MongoDB is with the Taylor Swift reference.

Also the notorious wave of MongoDB hacked with terrible security defaults and several programmers blaming bootcamp coders for terrible set up.

I would guess it's just outputting the 16 or so (decimal) digits of a IEEE float using one of the round-tripable representations. Not sure what else would be reasonable. Could you round the output with some specialized tool?

Also what does "ml" mean?
XPM has nothing to do with finding primes used in RSA, I'm not sure where that came from. It's POW is finding cunningham chains of smaller sized primes. That said I wouldn't be surprised if it could be adapted to find larger primes on a GPU significantly faster than a CPU.
Pakistan can't hire anyone to build reactors or buy most of parts needed because they are not willing to sign NPT, unless they become part of NSG. So, they are kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place. They know fresh water resources are not unlimited for sub-continent and coal is worst possible solution for electric short fall. So, they are also working on Solar [1] and wind [2], along with some development on nuclear which is indeed very slow.

Edit:correction.
Last time I tried one of these, I warped the drive shaft so badly the saw was entirely unusable ever again.

And that was a brand-new demo unit put on the floor specifically to show it off.

I'll take my chances and use the time-tested method of using a custom-built wooden jig to hold the piece while it goes through the blade.
I think this depends on what you frame what an opportunity is. Giving everyone the opportunity to try and meet a certain criteria in order for you to accept them into whatever job/institution you represent is a binary opportunity in theory. They'll either meet the criteria or they won't. If you frame being able to cultivate the skills to meet your criteria as being an opportunity in itself then that negates your offering as being an 'opportunity'.
They ought to, but the regulatory climate incentivizes a different outcome.

Change the game, not the players.

I might get downvoted for this, so please do your own research first before just dismissing it.

There is this cheap thing of Vitamin C injections staight into the blood. A cure that has been "well known" for centuries, but dismissed because oral intake studies weren't promising.

I love science, but in studies where a lot of money is made or can be lost, there is so much manipulation going on it makes you sick. I'm talking about pharmacy and food industry here.

Loads of money are made with chemo and cancer research. If Vitamin C injections really are better way to treat cancer, can you imagine how many billions will be lost?

Intel (and AMT) keep pushing more and more proprietary code that can not be read, changed or removed. No one knows exactly what it does and it has built in screen and key recording. It's my advice and the advice of privacy advocates that no one should purchase or use any processor made by Intel or AMD until they address these serious issues.

Clarification: If I'm understanding this right, the stopping the saw works differently, but the detection works the same.
My local community workshop has it. You're also responsible for paying for a new blade and cartridge if you trigger it. If you're a community workshop it seems like a no brainer because of liability.

But on the flip side, some construction workers pin back the blade guard on circular saws because it can get in the way.
> I don't know much about foundry processes, but it seems that it's taking more and more time for lesser and lesser gains, right? At this rate, how long until we reach sub nanometer? What are the physical limits on these processes, and does it have any implications for end users? Will we be using 2nm CPUs for 50 years?

The lattice constant of crystalline silicon is 0.54 nm, and since it's an FCC structure the distance between neighboring atoms is 0.38 nm. So with a hypothetical 2 nm CPU, some feature would be only roughly 5 atoms across, which leaves VERY little room for manufacturing tolerance. How would one manufacture a device containing billions of transistors with such small tolerances? I don't think we'll ever see such things, at least not with a lithography approach.

Heck, I think it's close to black magic that they are able to produce transistors on a 10nm process, but apparently experts say that up to 5nm (13 atoms!!!) might be possible.
Ugh can we not. This phrase is forever polluted, just like the Chaplin mustache or the pledge of allegiance salute before it.
