Ports are not used up by connections. One port can support 65K simultaneous connections from a single IP. If a thousand machines connect, each with their own IP, one port can handle 65 million connections. If you decide to accept HTTP requests on all ports, then each port of your 65K ports supports millions of connections or more. Suddenly you're talking about a total of billions or trillions of connections all going to one machine. And that's still only using a thousand machines to connect. Open up to the entire internet and you can push that to quintillions of theoretically possible simultaneous connections.
A bit of googling suggests that (historically at least, possibly still true) there isn't a built-in way, but you could with an addon. Most likely an addon can still do this - detect tab-open and convert to window-open ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Daily transactional BTC value has been in the billions for months, even before the recent price explosion. Yesterday's was a [very] record breaking value pushing $6 billion. The total market cap of Tether is less than $0.9 billion. That would've been about a single day's volume back in July. And to clarify, we're talking about if 100% of every single Tether is being used to purchase BTC with these numbers. That assumption is not correct meaning the actual impact is likely substantially lower.

I live in Korea (and run a small cryptocurrency related service) and I couldn't agree with you more. Koreans are looking at BTC as a pure get rich quick scheme. Even those chasing out altcoins, they are not hooked by, you know, PoS or more privacy or any other features that the coins evangelists are talking about. They are just looking for "the next Bitcoin" haha.

I've always been slim and not eaten much. But a few years ago I started to develop a paunch! For the first time in my life, I started to check the sugar content of what I was eating. The results surprised me greatly. For example, I like chocolate protein drinks, and often have 4 or 5 per day. But the one that I liked had 10g sugar per serve. The different brand right next to it had <1g sugar/serve! So that was an instant save of ~45g sugar/day. I also had no idea of how much sugar is in orange juice. And the misleading labelling! One juice on our local shelves says: "NO ADDED SUGAR!" - but has absolute truckloads of sugar already. Results (a few months later): me 1, paunch 0!

Coinmarketcap has Tether's 24h trading volume at $1.9 billion (over double the market cap). I find that concerning.

They list the 24h volume for Bitcoin at $24 billion. At 9% or 10% of the 24h volume, Tether could very possibly be a major factor in the bitcoin price spike.

Also uncheck "Open new windows in a new tab instead" in Options in GUI or set browser.link.open_newwindow to 2 instead of 3 (it's the same thing) to make pop ups open in new windows instead of tabs.

There might be an extension to remap the Ctrl/Shift shortcut or abandon tabs altogether but I don't know of any.

A port doesn't actually get consumed by a TCP connection. Connections are uniquely identified by a (host, port, host, port) combination; i.e. my machine with IP 1.1.1.1 and yours with 2.2.2.2 can have only 2^32 connections between us (slightly less in practice). Even assuming I have a webserver, so my port is fixed to 443, your machine can connect from each of those 2^16 ports - as can every other of the 2^32 machines on the network. In practice, you're limited by memory, not port numbers. Many machines I know of regularly have connection counts in the hundreds of thousands.

> I once made a semi-retired 5 year-old server crush a brand new one on a specific workload just because I noticed the working dataset did fit entirely in its L2 cache.

You seem to be oblivious to the fact that for a long time cache access is the main bottleneck in HPC applications, and although the focus on parallel programming gets all the attention the bulk of the research in the field is placed on figuring ways to minimize cache misses while pumping data to the ever growing number of registers. Opterons outperformed xeons because researchers figured how to harness opteron's larger cache and throughput to avoid performance penalties imposed by cache misses and thrashing and it showed. That's also one of the reasons why the old bulldozer architecture showed linear per-core performance even when each pair of cores shared a floating point unit.

the problem with your suggestion is that it is merely affirming the consequent: brains are conscious and robots are not brains therefore robots are not conscious. actually the real question is why are brains conscious? if we could answer that, then we could gather conscious things together (human brains, dog brains, slime mold, not trees, not grass) -- you see. its not sufficient to just say "brain" or "organic matter". the diversity of life (ex bird brain vs squid brain while both creatures demonstrate self awareness) suggests a compelling hypothesis: multiple realizability. if multiple realizability is true then perhaps the explanation is that it is not the substrate that is relevant but the arrangement, the programming, whatever... point being, im guessing you have a bio background and so you're a skeptic about virtual minds and in the more strict sense that is a very valid point -- most in the field of AI do not have any bio background at all and as you say, the only thing known for certain to be conscious being your own mind, well, you'd think understanding the bio would yield some insights. well actually it has, ex hinton's work is very much inspired by actual biology (neurology) /end rant

> At any rate now I'm actually interested in how you arrived at your prison views

Three things (and, note, I currently hold this position weakly and welcome further thoughts that either oppose or support it):

1. There is no story in the Bible, to my knowledge, of prison being used by people the Bible calls good. There are a few places where someone is imprisoned and God uses the situation for good - Daniel in the lion's den, Paul and Silas in the prison of Phillipi, etc. - but you never see e.g. Moses or David or anyone say to build a prison or to put someone in confinement, as far as I recall.

2. Nothing in Mosaic law (again, that I know of) talks about prison as a means for punishment / correction. You put people to death for offenses that we wouldn't consider capital today, sure. You exile them. You certainly have them pay restitution. But there's no Biblical command that a moral society should even have a prison.

3. There are plenty of passages like Isaiah 61, "to proclaim liberty to the captives and the opening of the prison to those who are bound," Matthew 25, "I was in prison and you came to visit me," etc. that seem to have an underlying assumption that everyone who is in prison is there unjustly. Even if they're meant to be read metaphorically, the metaphor only works right if you think of prison as unequivocally bad. There's no sense that some people deserve the experience of being in prison, or that justice requires leaving some people in prison.

Therefore, I have trouble seeing a society that puts people in prison and calls it moral as in accordance with a Biblical view of morality. Of course the whole idea that Western civilization is built on "Judeo-Christian" morals is flimsy in many ways, but for prison in particular, there seems to be a particular lack of support.

Oolite is a closer match for Elite Dangerous. Also FOSS and 500+ mods available. One of the devs made a one-click install for Windows featuring a selection of the main eye-candy mods but I'm on mobile now; will provide the link later.

Oolite is more like the original Elite while Pioneer is more like Frontier. Although I'm a former flightsim player who likes "realism", I find Oolite and its non-newtonian physics more enjoyable because you don't spend your time on autopilot and time acceleration. Space is just so big that, in a way, it disolves agency so it's better IMO to compromise and switch to a "believable" rather than "realistic" universe.
> Daily transactional BTC value has been in the billions for months

That's absolutely true but what you cannot tell is how much actual liquidity exists. I was playing around with algorithmic trading this summer and would routinely have days where my personal transactional volume would exceed $500k and I was only playing with $2.5k. Just a lot of very short duration (sometimes holding for mere seconds) trades and I always took the maker side to avoid paying any fees.

It was because debt-based speculative investing is one of the easiest and most common ways these types of risk are spread. There's lots of other sources of investment, but the debt-based ones are most concerning with respect to the analysis.

The other dangers are municipal general fund and endowment based investments. Local municipalities in countries like Greece and Italy got caught up in the 2008 real estate crash and then all of a sudden, things like street sweeping and garbage pickup stopped. Speculative bubbles cast wide nets.

Yeah - there are games for which I will use voice activation, like PUBG (where I do not have the mental availability to hit a PTT key), but for Overwatch I started with PTT with one of the thumb buttons on my mouse and I still do it.

That said, I use a for-realsies dynamic microphone with tons of off-axis rejection and a wall-mounted arm (I play games in my office/recording space, that's the engineer station mic). So I probably could use voice detection and be fine. But habits die hard.
The safety (and cleanliness and civility) in Tokyo is especially notable due to its size. Bern is nice, but it's less of a challenge to manage a 500k pop than 13 million. And while I'd consider London or Berlin very safe, they still have a murder rate 4 times or greater than Tokyo. So it isn't fair to call it exoticism, it is just real observation. And as you can attest, it is particularly striking when you go between someplace like San Francisco and Tokyo.

One problem with tabs vs windows is that it just looks at two "solutions" and isn't approaching things from a use case perspective. Not that this is easy, with people having wildly different browsing habits.

Thanks to the magic of the middle mouse button, I always was a heavy tab user, opening "sub-tabs" in the background for plenty of link-heavy sites (like HNews). In the early days I created lots of top-level windows and used Expose for switching between them. After discovering TreeStyleTabs, I became a one-window guy again.

So it seems I'm in the tab camp. But there's still the question why I need to have that many tabs open in the first place? It's not like I'm heavily multi-tasking. There's a good reason for opening those three zeit.de news articles in separate tabs, but why do I need to retain the tab group with 13 react-redux links or 27 interesting CPAN modules?

We've got a problem with browsing history. For long-time storage, there's bookmarks. I'm using pinboard for this for unified access and tagging. But if I file something there, it might be that I forget it, so I keep a tab(-group) open.

Heavy tab users seem to be closer to using them as TODO items than mere window management. So it might be a good idea to look at TODO/GTD/Calendar apps for improving the stats quo. Not just filing vs. on-screen, but different levels of priorities. Maybe a bit of "AI", where Clippy reminds you that you've got a tab-group stored that contains this exact Stack Overflow article about handling NULLs in Oracle. And from there, you have quick access to the browser history "surrounding" those pages, even if it was a year ago. A "mega-expose/Jurassic Park file explorer" view of saved tabs/bookmarks, where you can drill down by tags, text etc.

The tech wouldn't be the big problem, probably doable with browser extensions. But getting a good initial design for this is the difficult part.

And then you find out that some Hypertext paper from the mid-70s already had all that.
“Ever wonder why Coinbase takes about a week to “process” the sell? Or why when you buy on other exchanges you’re debited instantly but when you sell it takes a few days to be credited?”

“It’s mostly likely because these institutions don’t have the liquidity to actually pay you. The important thing to realize is the exchanges aren’t selling the Bitcoins on the open market nor are they transferring anything between wallets when you sell.‘
“

Anyone here know if this is true?

Did you ever work in another country? I work in Germany with colleagues from many different countries, and our country does not suck.

The French post is one of the best in the World, train delays are the same in France as in Germany (shall we compare with the situation in the US?), the administration is a PITA but they actually try to help instead of killing you (+ the number of organisms to help startups in France is very high).

Terrorism in France is a minimal cause of deaths compared to what happens in the US due to firearms. The fiscal instability is getting better with our current government (we know what is coming, not like in the US), the number of riots is low but they are highly mediatized.

I am honestly surprised by this comment, would have expected it from someone not living in France. Compared to the UK and USA, France is a safer place to create your startup right now if you are a foreigner.

The language is a pain and there are other alternatives (Canada, Singapore, Hong Kong, Germany) but if you want a country in the Western World that tries to help you instead of making everything possible to have you back at the border, France is attractive.

PS: If you ask « Why is it attractive? »: Paris is full of investors/incubators, young people do speak English, people in the startup environment interact a lot and you will find mates to work and speak about your issues easily. Paris has two major airports (compared to Germany with old airports in Berlin and a too small one in Hamburg) + train stations to go everywhere (i.e. London, Bordeaux, Lyon).
