More scientific research on the power of quantum computing against modern day encryption would need to be done. There are still only a small amount of companies with quantum computers, the bulk being defense contractors, top governments (U.S.A., China, Russia, Japan, Germany, India, Iran and Israel) and a few private sector focused companies (Google, Microsoft, IBM, etc.) and top research universities that are capable of doing the research. If there is a flaw found in the mathematics used for the current standard encryption algorithms, new algorithms would be created to take their place. As rolling your own crypto has always been bad practice if you did not have the proper mathematics background and work experience as a full-time cryptographer.

It may require new hardware or enhancements to hardware to accommodate the changes (e.g. AES instruction sets added to the x86, ARM, SPARC, MIPS, etc. processors) to help speed up the processing of encryption and decryption requests. When that time comes there will be a quick rush from vendors to patch and or upgrade systems when possible.
Yes it's possible. We could have a power port like a VGA cable with say 10 or 20 independent supplies, simultaneously charging the different battery units.

However those connectors will be very bulky and heavy. Maybe Elon is thinking of a mechanized system, say a power robotic arm sort of thing, or maybe tech similar to the instant battery changing station he demoed a few years back.
Amazon sourced charging cables from a third-party (Mobile Star) and listed them as 'by Apple' and 'shipped and sold by Amazon'. Apple then purchased them, probably realizing they didn't sell them to Amazon or people were having problems like fires. In the end, Apple sued Mobile Star for counterfeiting.

> When the futures clear, you basically end up with dollars, which is odd to an extend as a future in oil will literally give you oil once it clears.

Futures come in two types: physically settled and financially settled. Physical means the owner at expiration receives the product (in this case BTC). Financial means the owner at expiration receives the quote currency (in this case USD). Many futures contracts are financially settled, usually in the national currency where they are traded.

It would be possible to write physically settled BTC contracts, but that would be more complex for CME to implement (they'd need brokers to manage flows of cryptocurrency), and would be a less differentiated offering compared to existing cash exchanges.
For what it's worth, I skimmed Gitlabs terms (https://about.gitlab.com/terms/) and don't see anything about it.

The few Code Sponsor ads I saw on Github were pretty benign, but I can understand why Github wants to keep them off of their platform.
> based on Bloomberg's estimates

Oh, good. I thought they were going to bring in a battery expert to disprove the battery experts that work for the company who, according to Bloomberg, has the most advanced charging systems on the market. Whew! Dodged a bullet, there.
They do call it a "megacharger," and the port appears to have multiple connections

Residential power is often cheaper than commercial (at least, small scale) in practice. One reason is that commercial folks pay surcharges for power factor.

For example, in San Jose, CA, the average residential is ~$0.156/kwh

Commercial is $0.1408/kwh [1].

If you operate at a 90% power factor, and are surcharged the other 10%, ...

[1] https://www.electricitylocal.com/states/california/san-jose/

But yeah, at Tesla's scale, it should not be $1/kw.

I could believe that to be the all-in cost for a supercharger or something weird like that.

Because they should be paying close to the industrial rate, if not lower.
Don't think many drug marketplaces use bitcoin anymore, since bitcoin has a fully public ledger. Private coins such as Monero or Zcash are used now.
Exactly my thought. Relays that connect the batteries in series for charging and reconnect in parallel for driving.
Very well and concisely explained, kind of an eyeopener for someone who has never done any game/3D programming.
The parallel connections are visible: https://insideevs.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Tesla-Semi-...
The battery is composed of cells connected in parallel and in series. Say P parallel strings of S cells connected in series each. You want your cells to be balanced: charged the same amount.

You can charge every single cell individually, simultaneously, if you design your connections to support it. IIRC our packs were wired to charge the internal cells in pairs.

If you think about it, though, with a given max current I = dQ/dt, you need the same amount of time to charge two cells each to a charge Q (mAh), no matter if you charge them simultaneously or one after the other. Because if you charge them simultaneously you can only supply I/2 each.
I have been using WordPress for my personal blog and such task is trivial in WordPress with built-in sharing feature. What's more you can have control over the source code when you host it on your own VPS. The free WordPress hosting by wordpress.com has the same functionality built-in.

What are some of the advantages of using this workflow involving multiple services/tools? I feel that this is too many dependencies to accompany a simple task.
The sibling comment gives what is probably the correct answer (visitors), but in fact self-timers for cameras have been around for 100 years or so: https://www.photo.net/discuss/threads/dating-the-original-ko...

> ... we have raised over $10,000 towards open source sustainability.

In October, they brought in $7,437.20 from sponsors. They paid out $3,413.20 to open source developers.

40% was to be paid out to developers. I realize there are some "administrative costs" and it takes a while to ramp things up but that seemed like way too little being paid out.

On the other hand, that's $3,413.20 that otherwise might not have went into the pockets of developers so I'm still not entirely sure how I feel about Code Sponsor.
No, capacity of the battery isn't what determines the wattage at which you can recharge. It's the physical power supply constraints.

If I have a 250v, 25 kWh battery, I can charge it at 250 V, 100 Amps for 1 hour or at 250V, 1000 Amps for 6 minutes.

What charging rate I select depends on the voltage and chemistry in the battery. Can the battery support charging at such a rate. The charging current rate is limited to the max operating current of the battery.

If the above battery can supply a max current of say 50 amps, then you will have a max charge rate of 250V, 50 Amps for 2 hours.

It is not obvious why.
You are so right, the same percentage but at 10 times the current when compared to the former case. Then the question is "Do the superchargers allow for that much current?"
I'm going to try though I'm a neophyte myself. So if we take the example of oil, if you need to buy oil in 6 months time and don't want to be affected by market volatility you can pay a small premium on today's prices to guarantee the price in the future. People that don't actually need oil but think that it will go up in value can also use the futures instead to bet on oil being more expensive and cash out the difference between what they paid and what the future price ends up being. Speculating on Bitcoin vs oil isn't so different, the only difference I can see is that where as there is use cases for hedging and one for speculating traditional futures there only exists the speculating use case for Bitcoin futures.

It's a bit of a stretch (or at best a gross over-simplification) to exclusively group the concepts of religion/spirituality with love such that anyone who is not religious/spiritual must only care about "materialism". The rant is far too black & white, or us vs. them for my liking.
For the last couple of years I’ve been using Triplicate as my standard monospace font, and it has a Poly variant which is proportional and works really well for code presentation (provided you aren’t trying to line things up with spaces).

It makes things like i, j and space narrower, rather than things like w and m wider as this article discusses. I reckon narrowing some yields a more pleasing result than widening some.

I like this long-form letter and the sober design, but isn't "one hundred percent reserve cryptocurrency depository institution, with regular balance sheet disclosures, comprehensive operational reports, instant interaccount transfers, personal client relationships, and support for most major cryptocurrencies and digital assets" what most exchanges already provide (at least allegedly)? Isn't this all that is needed for your institution to be target of a million hackers?
Shadertoy shaders _do_ include the render algorithm. That shader is completely ray-traced, so the only real input that is used for that shader is the x, y coordinates and time. It's not using any of the GPU's polygon rasterization. It's stateless and is generating the terrain while it ray-traces it.
It's a long, but great read (i read it over the last 2 days.) Thanks to the original sharer on here.

It's interesting that the book mentions 2 of the times he stayed on the island, but doesn't mention the last, and longest (of 10 years). Nor does it mention that he had kids in between, which is mind boggling to me, how you could leave them.
I'd guess in almost any trade, the craftspeople care about their tools, even aspects that are mostly aesthetic. I consider myself pretty busy, but I still spend a half an hour every few months reviewing the space of available fonts, looking for something that appeals even more than my current favorite.

(FWIW that's PT Mono for the last few months, after almost a decade of using Ubuntu Mono exclusively.)

> He's basically working to replace Big Oil with Big Lithium.

Electric cars need X kg of elemental lithium over the lifetime of the car. ICE cars need [on the order of] X kg of gasoline every 200 miles. This makes such a huge quantitative difference that comparing lithium mining to oil mining is almost pointless.

In addition, lithium can in principle be recycled when the battery wears out. Gasoline cannot be recycled, even in principle.
Next you'll be saying that all carrots taste the same. Or wheat (my grandfather was an elevator operator - it doesn't at all according to his account, due principally to local soil conditions - different geology.)

Science isn't whatever meets your expectations. While the egg isn't functioning as one big working cell, it's not made of cells, it is what became of just one cell. More here if you want the discussion.

As for what healthy eggs looked like, I'm guessing you haven't spent much time on a farm. The fragile, rather sickly eggs you're so used to buying now were unknown on farms fifty years ago, when I was younger.
y, there have been some WordPress plugins adding mining javascript to sites recently.
"Like a teensy vampire, a Varroa mite attaches to the body of the bee and sucks out its internal, bloodlike fluid. During this sucking, the mite passes deformed wing virus (DWV) directly into its host's body. Once the bees start to show the resulting deformation, they usually die within 48 hours."

Thats pretty nuts! But it seems like this might have been isolated to Hawaii but possible in locations where varroa and deformed wing virus co-occur. Though lack of biodiversity appears to make bees more susceptible to diseases which lead to colony collapse disorder (CCD) [1].

Really couldn't disagree more. So many software engineers at tier-1 tech companies use apple machines (I'd put the percentage at around 50% depending on tech stack.)

Walk into any engineering class at a university and you'll likely see the same ratio, perhaps even further skewed towards macs.

It's nice to hear him talk about demographic challenges and urban fertility. We are entering an idiocracy sort of situation in the Western democracies, as well as Asian countries including China, where the the people who will have the kinds of children who can perform these elite jobs aren't having children. He doesn't seem to take the step to imagine what that means for the wide swaths of people in the future.
I stay away from chrome for privacy reasons. Switched away from Google to DuckDuckGo, stopped FB, Twitter and to a large extent reddit.

I may be an outlier, but I always suggest FF to everyone. The world deserves some optimism.
This seems like too easy a question, but

- WordPress is dynamic, not static, which contributes to:

- WordPress takes more resources to run, and

- WordPress regularly has security holes

- WordPress is therefore not simple because it requires maintenance

- WordPress relies on countless server- and client-side dependencies, which contributes to the maintenance and server requirements
If you’re interested in a recipe for running a profitable, small farm I recommend the book The Market Gardener by Jean-Martin Fortier.

There are a lot of other examples around of similar farmers, e.g Curtis Stone, Ridgedale Permaculture (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Knn7ZH4Tiw)
"I'd expect a sub-$1000 electric to be quite a piece of crap."

You'd be wrong. Hundreds of thousands of people in Beijing (including many thousands of couriers and food delivery folk) rely on sub-$1000 electric bikes. They work well, and don't often require repair. (When they do need repair, it's usually something cheap like re-adjusting brakes.)

The components used on a push bike are far more important than those used on an electric bike, because it affects the amount of effort required by the rider. 5% less effort is material. For an electric bike, though, it just means your range is 33km instead of 35km. No big deal if you're doing a daily commute in the city.

For reference: the last used electric bike I bought (in Beijing) cost me ~$160 including a nearly new lead-acid battery. I spent another $200 to replace that with a brand new 48V20Ah lithium battery, and another ~$50 to add a back box that can hold two full face helmets.
This has nothing to do with "organic" anything - the conditions of breeding - but modern breeds of vegetables and fruit. There's no shortage of evidence of the difference, and the decline in vitamin content over the last many decades, in the U.S.

Fun fact that people may not be aware of: not all glyphs in monospace fonts are actually the same width (provided the font supports enough of Unicode). Some glyphs are twice as wide, such as CJK/fullwidth characters in general. The Unicode standard includes a list of codepoint column widths—some zero (e.g. combining characters), some one, some two, some one or two depending on the context (the language).
I used to maintain an ipsec VPN for road warrior type scenarios, but I've found that mostly I just wanted to get a remote desktop on a computer within the network.

So I've stopped mucking around with VPN and just published Apache Guacamole HTML5 VNC/RDP tunnels. No plugins, no clients except a modern web browser and good security with certbot+auto redirect to https+simple auth to keep badguys away from possible exploits in the guacamole login form. Configs can be as simple as the NoAuth plugin, all the way to full integration with eg. AD.
I've implemented this at a number of businesses, and it does what almost everyone in the organization wants. It also supports things like printing (to a pdf that comes thru the browser as a download) and file transfer.
Super easy to set up and is much more responsive than VNC or RDP thru ssh.

The times when I actually want full IP access to a network from my laptop are so rare that it seemed silly to maintain IPSec.

What need do others have for full-connectivity VPNs? Not site-to-site VPNs of course, but these ad-hoc on the road type ones.

Finally New York is catching up with Beijing.

Sure, the electric bikes in Beijing aren't as fancy as these ones, but there are 100,000s of them, and many people rely on them to get to work, go grocery shopping, or to allow them to work as a food delivery rider.
>At those scales you want machinery, but you can use a Garden Tiller instead of a disk plow behind a tractor etc

This whole thing is like those cheesy TV shows portraying "hacking". Where you aren't quite sure if they don't know anything or they do know and are deliberately trying to give people an aneurysm by being as nonsensical as possible.

> Their are actually a lot of moderately expensive tools that scale up to ~80 acres without hitting the very high costs of an actual farm

There is nothing that scales effectively from 2 acres to 80 acres. And 80 acres is an actual farm. "Farm" does not exclusively refer to massive field crop operations. Do you think your tomatoes came from a 1200 acre field and were harvested with a 500 horsepower combine? There is a world beyond just growing livestock feed.

>~2,000 hours of effort is a significant hobby, but less than many WoW players as a direct comparison.

WoW isn't physical labor in the hot sun either. It is far more likely that you don't know what an acre is than it is that your father and grandfather worked difficult full time jobs for no money on top of their actual full time jobs.

>10k in revenue before expenses is not much and is easy for that to end up negative after expenses and even in the best case your likely paying yourself well below minimum wage.

It is for 2-3 acres. And expenses aren't even remotely close to 10k for such a tiny vineyard. Our neighbor has 30 acres of grapes and just barely spends 20k/year. Fuel and equipment costs are minor because you are using a small tractor and all you use it for is spraying a couple times a year and hauling around bins of grapes at harvest time. The only real expense is labor cost for harvesting.

Charity is basically a combination of guilt assuaging, ego food and social proofing. I think we'd be better off with democratically controlled funding, or economically allocated funding, from a self-sufficient demos, for things like the battle against malaria.

Charities like Gates's typically turn into long-lived foundations which acquire politics and agency of their own, not entirely benign. They need to be connected to their benefactors by some structure of control, like democracy or economics. A big pile of cash and investments isn't that; it's independence from control.

Yes, democracy also has problems, it would be great to figure out something better. But democracy is still better than oligopoly, even if they're benign today.

It depends on what the tax increase or tax decrease affect. If a tax cut goes predominantly to those who invest in greater productivity, then increased supply can drop prices - but only if that investment is more efficient than consequently relinquished government investment. These things are horribly difficult to measure. Perhaps Ukrainian defense spending is a total waste, and should cease with a corresponding tax cut. Perhaps it is preventing a transfer of common wealth to an oligarch, and is the most important investment the country makes. I'm quite sure I don't know.
