Somewhat off-topic, but is anybody using an external security webcam for their home that they'd recommend? Every review I've read seems to have very conflicting opinions. What's good? Ring? Arlo? Nest? Home-Grown w/ Raspberry Pi?
I don't understand the connection to energy consumption. Humans have been able to extract increasing amounts of energy over time without correspondingly large increases in human intelligence. I don't see a strong reason to doubt that this will continue, so I don't see a strong reason to doubt that a >= human-level-intelligence AI could do it either.
It is more complicated than that. A dark cloudy day (no gaps to sky) will not have much UVB. A day with thin high clouds won't block much, and may make it worse (reflecting or scattering).
I have read the books on the Toyota Production System and it does not apply to software, except in a very loose general sense. Manufacturing is not at all similar to software because with manufacturing you are making the same physical thing again and again, while with software you are only making a thing once, and it is intangible.

There are benefits for examining the flow of deliverables and information, and trying to eliminate waste, but much of the TPS is geared around the manufacture of physical objects and it is a stretch to apply it elsewhere.
My understanding is that Bitcoin would fail if the energy costs would be low, the huge costs are what protects it from an adversary acquiring >50% of the "voting rights" on what transactions are valid.

At some point the mining rewards will stop, and transaction fees will be the only reward. The price will be driven by demand, but will need to be kept high.
Raleigh is a hidden treasure. Educated populace with good schools, pretty decent jobs, yet peaceful and green.

Their only drawback is isolation from west coast hubs.
That's a very strange extrapolation - we don't need to be any smarter to extract more energy. We're building more renewable energy capability every year, even though humans aren't getting any smarter.

Building a dyson swarm would be a massive project, but modern humans are plenty smart enough to do it. An AI capable of running the project, while beyond the current state of the art, would still not need to be particularly clever. (It doesn't need to design satellites or space factories to get there.)
This sucks because I'm tempted to do it as well, but this means that I can't support the content creators that I like.

I really hope that a better alternative comes soon. I've seen a lot of people using https://ko-fi.com/ (and I've used it to donate to them a few times), but it's not exactly the same.
Watts is an instantaneous measurement, so I don't think that's right. If a lightbulb uses 100W and it's running for 1h, it consumes 100Wh of energy.
I think the post is making the point that over the course of human history, low calorie, low sugar diets were the norm. Periods of fasting were the norm.
I know this is for a casual audience, but claiming that because bears and dogs are both caniforms, "bears are, in essence, massive, really distantly related dogs," is just... frustrating. It's fine to simplify, but it's so easy to avoid blunt inaccuracy in this case.
That's very similar to a standard lunch for me.
and what exactly are you comparing to reach this conclusion: "and optimised assembly in languages / library ARM is not even close to x64"?

Yeah but to the retailers, it must sound great:

- Recurring revenue
- Frictionless transactions
- Vendor lock in

To a business, this stuff is irresistible. Of course consumers would hate this. But consumers also hated DRM, and they managed to shove that down our throats.
You sure about that? My 1100% gains say otherwise.

Put your money where your mouth is - screenshot them BTC shorts ;)
Educated guess, based on "large gaming company," "San Francisco," the number of models hired, hand selecting those models and giving them backstories, and the disregard for opinion in doing something like this: Kixeye. Honestly, that smells a hell of a lot like something Kixeye would do. Maybe EA or Zynga, but I doubt it.

As soon as I finished the paragraph, Kixeye popped into my head automatically. I will caveat that I'm very possibly wrong, but I'm just sharing my guess.

That sucks. LGR is great.
For what it's worth, I use Insomnia every day with some pretty large requests and I've never had an issue with it.

With this, VSCode, Slack & Boostnote - a good portion of my daily work is done in Electron apps and I can't say I'm itching to switch to native alternatives.

Definitely appreciate how people have issues with it, but it doesn't seem like it's going away and hopefully will only get better.
I could not have been more wrong in my predictions of this trend. At Y2K I looked at a future where better technology would allow people to spread out around the country and still tap into meaningful cultural and job opportunities.
Lower cost of living and higher quality of life. Instead, it's like the opposite has happened, and we're increasingly roped together by a noose that tightens more every year.
Coinbase isn’t a bank it’s an exchange. Why would they carry a reserve of anything?

It stores your shares for you, but it’s not loaning them out. The only way you get money out of Coinbase is if someone buys your shares.

Originally half of the entire value proposition of Patreon was "backers pledge small amounts to multiple artists, Patreon bundles these up under one monthly charge, thereby spreading transaction fees fees around". Or in fewer, longer words: Patreon is a micropayments aggregator.

And it worked pretty well! A lot of creators got paid, myself included.

And now here's Patreon with a new fee structure that appends a percentage plus a minimum fee to every single transaction. So much for micropayments.

Which is the use-case of bitcoin in your opinion?

This was addressing the parent poster's proposal of a single, quite particular (and IMHO not in popular opinion) use-case of it purely as the settlement layer for other payment network(s); but there seems to be no consensus about the main use case, at the very least I see camps of 'value store', 'decentralized payments for the masses' and 'payments that can't be restricted' which already each have some conflicting requirements.
While it varies there are toll bridges and roads where emergency vehicles must pay. It helps that they are electronic tolls where the vehicle does not have to stop.

Why it's hard to stop initiated movement
This is one of those aspects of American culture that make me shake my head. If you're not enjoying the party with your co-workers, then it's either because the party is not good or you don't have a sense of community with your co-workers (or a combination of both). If the majority of people who attend the party feel that way, then your company has a problem: either they don't know how to throw a party or there's no community at the office (or, again, a combination of both). You can't really solve that with "Disney World effect".
Self-promotion: know someone working crazy hours? why not give the gift of a sane workweek?

I wrote a book about how programmers can get to work/life balance, shorter workweek, or whatever a sane work week means to them specifically.

Covers:

* Skills you need (from productivity to negotiation) and practical tips on how to get there.

* The different paths you can take.

If you buy it as a gift use the receipient's email, so they get the copy (and future updates) rather than you.

I was defineitely going for humor...but in all seriousness, if you take the McRib as just 1 sku in a billion+ that humans produce that are both addictive by design, inflict direct physiological harm, and also contribute to climate change and planet scale pollution which are very much epoch-defining phenomena, yes you could very easily rank the McRib as equally threatening to all human life as a very large asteroid.

That said, the real dominant species on this planet, tardigrades, could likely survive even a McRib-induced climate catastrophe. So if tardigrades merge with AI, we are totally and completely fubard!
I'll anecdotally confirm this. As much as people love shitting on the awkwardness of nerds, most people get it together enough to find love by age 25.

People learn enough social niceties to get by, even if they never become the life of the party. Women start caring less about how cool the guy is and and start caring more about "Do I actually get along with this person?" Somewhere in the middle of those lowered expectations for coolness and increased social competence, nerds do just fine.
Great Work! that's awesome you could change your diet to a healthy one. These days there's such a huge stigma against eating healthily and responsibly, especially from friends and family.
Hatreon's a platform designed explicitly and specifically for white supremacists, so maybe not them.
By peer to peer exchange, you mean an exchange built on blockchain?

One exists that I know of (bitshares). I'm sure others are being developed.

Turning fiat into crypto is a separate problem of its own. The problems there are legal and political, not so much technical.
> Here is the problem, JMeter uses Java RMI (Remote Method Invocation) to communicate to its slaves, but these connections require all machines to be on the same subnet and this is not feasible with EC2 instances.

Incorrect with VPC..

Also, could we stop using the term 'slave' to refer to distributed compute or storage nodes?
It's not really technology pushing people into cities is it ?

I assumed its really due to a lack of well paying jobs, combined with an increased debt burden from college.

I guess one could argue technology has lead to increased automation and reduction of jobs typically found outside of cities.
I wish there was more discussion around the technical stuff, especially the things in the pipeline: The lightning network, Schnorr signatures, Hashed TimeLock Contracts, Merklized Abstract Syntax Trees, the Simplicity language, etc.
These are recurring payments which might be treated differently.

Columbus, Ohio (#8 on the list) native here working in User Experience Design making an average tech salary. At the end of every month I'm always amazed at how much I can put in savings and travel because of the low cost of living. I live downtown and my rent is only $750. There also seems to be high demand for jobs, but not enough talent to fill those jobs.
That is correct on order of magnitude, at least (25 pounds ~ $33 today). That's one of the reasons Steam is no longer accepting bitcoins[0]:

> transaction fees that are charged to the customer by the Bitcoin network have skyrocketed this year,
topping out at close to $20 a transaction last week (compared to roughly $0.20 when we initially enabled Bitcoin).

I see 8000 IU for adults:

This could lead to a recommendation of 1000 IU for children <1 year on enriched formula and 1500 IU for breastfed children older than 6 months, 3000 IU for children >1 year of age, and around 8000 IU for young adults and thereafter.
I'm not sure I agree. Knowing programming specifically -- how computers work, and how to write scripts to control them and automate your workflow -- rarely does not have a positive impact on your productivity at work and your aptitude in understanding the world around you. Computational thinking is important as well, but you can't discount the practical angle here.
In event of a massive exodus of hashing power like the 1000x reduction couldn't a fork be proposed to change the difficulty?

Interstate expansion comes from the national highway fund. Arlington blocking it has little to do with the cost.
Wrong. They get paid the amount of money they do because they are supposed to be in charge. Because they are "taking responsibility." If they are not responsible, then they should not get those amounts of money. If they are responsible, then they get the entirety of responsibility, not just the benefits.
It just seems that there other better jobs, at least in New Jersey. I would rather work on a fracking site in SD than sell my soul but to each their own I guess.
I find this hard to believe that coinbase is doing this with no regulation. I don't know if you all saw what happened to Full Tilt Poker, look it up. I'm afraid something like that could happen to coinbase. FTP got an influx of deposits and used that to fund players for when they withdrew. FTP was using the fund pool for other reasons and pocketing some of it, while still being able to payout players. The day came the gov't shut down the site but the company did not have the funds to pay back the players.

Now this might be different because bitcoin is what it is this is, while you control your wallet and this occurs more like a stock market rather than full tilt poker. Still I'm somewhat skeptical because coinbase could be doing something more complex to where they take on risk. Just my opinion, have to research more but this is a thread I was looking for.
With how much talent the coasts seem to suck in, there needs to be a better conversation about how the rest of the country attracts talent. It's becoming more and more obvious that economic growth is predicated on solid jobs requiring a college education.

I was mostly talking about the explosive growth in the US between 1850 and 1910, and referring to the fact that nobody in high brackets actually paid those rates as real tax rates.

There were so many write-offs and loopholes then that it was more a sop to the working class to let them believe the rich were paying for things.

Yes, it is possible to have strong growth with high nominal income tax rates - it's also possible to have strong growth WITHOUT high income taxes. The point you made that I objected to most strongly was the idea that income taxes were absolutely necessary to prevent recessions and were the main cause of growth. That hasn't been proven by history and I would say has been soundly disproven.
About right. The block reward more than pays for it.
Haha, yeah I can't see the BTC crowd all being on-board with this.

That said, while I don't think the exchanges need to (or realistically could) coordinate on circuit breakers, I do think it's entirely reasonable for there to explore this type of mechanism on a per-exchange basis in the case of GDAX and other exchanges where margin is allowed, to prevent the whole "cascading margin call" thing that happened with ETH to happen again. That could take a lot of forms, including limiting the size of market orders to not eat 30% of the book, or not allowing 1 market order to trigger margin calls if (insert criteria here)

(That said, they could also just say "that's how margin and trading goes on low-volume, highly volatile assets" and technically be correct, but much like their decision to reimburse some traders, this is more of a business decision and wanting to keep your customers. Not sure what the "right" answer is.)
Good point.

And then complain about being the neglected or down-trodden ones.
"Don't subscribe to the hype."

I think the fact that internet guides people behavior on a massive scale is a clear indication that machine/human hybrid cognition is not a hype, it's a thing and it's starting just now.

What makes one go to the fridge? A sense of hunger. What makes one go to the Facebook? A different yearning.

Before, people have controlled machines, and they have not induced addiction. Now machines can induce a wide range of emotions.

This is the first step - the channel is open.

On the other hand, when will there be more than random noise and clever hacks at the machine end - I don't know.

Only that we are combined as a species on a cognitive level already by the internet.

One could say that the combination began when writing and money was invented - one coordinating thought, the other labour.

Machines have made this suprapersonal interaction much faster, and much powerfull.

It would be silly to say it's just a fad. It's not a Skynet scenario, it's not the matrix. But - people are affected, and algorithms are getting more clever.

I'm not saying we are going to have an AI overlord. But I am saying the interconnectedness, the algorithms and the addictive quality of interaction is leading us definetly into a new territory.
That's kind of what I do when checking the `navigator.standalone` property, but it means I'm basically doing useragent sniffing by a different name, since if they fix this in iOS 12 I'll need to update my app so they can use it.
Yeah, I had my Disk ][ card in slot 6 or 7. 16K of Ram and the AppleSoft card in slot 1. The Epson MX-80 plugged in somewhere there too.I had an 80 Column card in one of my other slots....

Eh, scraping any encyclopedia would introduce insurmountable bias and error. As you say, only primary sources are usable here.
I'm with you ethagknight. Look at my comment below. I think it's a different ballgame at these prices, counting even more on coinbase that they are doing the rational things.

Correct or incorrect programs are defined in terms of the language. With an underspecified language like C you get what you deserve: -O2 being a different language than -O0

I've seen enough of this video where incorrect programs are being equaled to undefined language behavior. I'll stop looking further.
.dev isn't launched yet and we aren't using it for internal purposes. This is a common misconception about .dev that just will not die. It is delegated (will resolve in DNS) but not yet launched (not yet available for registration). Stay tuned for updates.

The "internal purposes" misconception stems from the TLD-wide wildcard DNS entry pointing to 127.0.53.53 that is required by ICANN's Controlled Interruption process for all new gTLDs. For more info see here: https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/name-collision-ro-faqs...

I'm seeing that a fair number of posts in this comment thread say "I've had Insomnia and/or Postman freeze/lock up/crash with large responses."

I can't recall ever having a problem with curl and a large response.

Yes, these others are probably doing something like parsing the response and making it pretty and that's where the problem is. But just sayin'. (Also, most of the time, curl's memory usage can be measured in kilobytes. Again, just sayin'.)
