It's not about the crypto for me.It's about the technology behind them that excites me. Blockchain is definitely worth the hype in my opinion. Reading this article got me even more excited on the applications of blockchain:

Cash cannot be used to pay websites/etc., and having a single method of paying is more convenient than having two methods. So the growth of online ordering essentially pushes people to use electronic payments of some kind, and as the number of online purchases increases so does the pressure to use electronic payments generally. Don't confuse ease-of-use in specific situations with ease-of-use generally.
The same way Church and Turing knew what classical computers were capable of before the first computer was ever built.
Much of large pharma R&D effectively happens through asset acquisition of smaller entities, and I don’t think that is reflected well by budget numbers.

Tufts numbers are generally regarded as high. Booth at Atlas puts the cost ranging from $300M for a drug that can be developed on a lean process (like Eli’s Chorus) to $1.6B for something developed by large pharma. Regardless of where in the range you are, it’s risky and it isn’t cheap.

Which brings me to my original question: if not assisted by the exclusivity provided by IP, how should drug development costs be paid for? And beyond that, how should lifecycle costs be paid for?
There aren't enough altruistic people to make the blockchain trustworthy. Profit motive is the entire driving force behind the trust model of bitcoin, et al.
It might be partially instinct from our mammalian ancestors who survived by living underground. I think it's the same reason why mountains and oceans are so appealing to many people. They offer geographic survival advantages. We can't always express the exact reasons why we like them but it just feels right when you are there.
> The Sansa line at one point had (or still has) the same audio chip as the iPod (Classic), is cheaper, and is super well reviewed. I think people interested in dedicated players have moved onto that.

This looks promising on the face of it but is missing a key killer-feature IMO. The reason I still use an iPod for my MP3s is for a specific feature in iTunes that I've not yet found elsewhere, I forget the name they use but I call them dynamic playlists.

Most of my playlists generate themselves based on DateAdded, LastPlayed, LastSkipped, Rating, Tags and other attributes. When I add a song I give it some tags and sync my iPod, and then it will over time and after a few syncs, end up in other playlists based on how often I play it and what rating I give it. It's a feature that I very much enjoy, and feels like a significant step up from manually managing playlists. I wish I had the same for my Movie library.

I've seriously been considering building my own gizmo with a Raspberry pi, an LCD screen and some scripts but that's rather unappealing aesthetically.

Has anyone got an equivalent to dynamic libraries + mp3 players working without iTunes? The crux seems to be that the mp3 player needs to keep a log of what's played and when and needs to support ratings, even if the player itself doesn't update the playlists until it's synced. I'm not even huge on sound quality or big on Apple products, it's just the features I like I can't find elsewhere.

It is not quite this dire, there are very competent public prosecutors and defenders. The problem is we accept the wealthy can obtain better and more lawyers, and effectively buy more or better justice as they define it. It's a classist system where justice is treated as a product rather than exclusively as a right.
Didn't this argument get pulled out a lot over a decade ago? I remember none of the studies backing up the notion that watching violent entertainment made someone go out and commit violence although there was evidence of increased heart rate. If I recall correctly the lawyer who was trying to get laws changed in Florida got disbarred for doing things like disseminating all this false information
For 4), what if you started with clean versions of Wikipedia and things that could be built from public datasets? That would be enough content to provide a meaningful comparison experience, and if you had good content creation tools the smart set could migrate over to HyperNet or whatever this brave new world is called, originate content there, and dump it to the web as a secondary option, recruiting people through the blogosphere.

I would absolutely be up for running something like this in parallel to my existing browsers. Right now I have Chrome and Firefox going, migrating things slowly over to Brave, and Tor about half the time. Plus desktop RSS readers and other stuff. I'd love to have some clean virtual space to work in. One more open window wouldn't be a problem.

No, there are quantum resistant protocols that could be switched to instead when the gap starts to close.
I try to have cash, but honestly another trip to an ATM is just something that falls out of my daily schedule.

So yeah, I support cash transactions (and spend cash as a way to give the restaurant I like a way to avoid CC fees) but very often I don't have any or enough, and need to use CC.

Cash is easier to split, too unless you want to use Venmo or something (does everyone have Venmo?).
Was there an alternative that didn't require violence?
I haven't pinned down the research yet, but I've read in popsci mentions and arxiv abstracts that at least a couple other people have cited, that training neural nets would be accelerated by a full-scale (i.e. mega-qubit) quantum computer.

Anyone with more expertise care to point me at a relevant paper?
Protocols need not always be client-server. The barrier raised by middleboxes is mainly to peer-to-peer applications, whose progress may have been systematically inhibited as a result, in favour of server-based i.e. centralized applications. If that hadn't happened, then your personal micropublishing social media tool might today be a peer-to-peer application, rather than a centralized advertising behemoth. There's no intrinsic expectation that end-users must feel like they're running a server in that user story.

Consider this: the application protocols that arose in the early days of the Internet were decentralized/federated systems such as NNTP, SMTP, IRC. But application-level protocols that are developed with a P2P or federated architecture today are niche rather than mainstream (like BitTorrent), or dead because a major company killed their adoption (like XMPP).

The canary was the loss of old-school active-mode FTP, broken by middleboxes impeding connections. Plenty of people saw this coming.

Circle might be nice for a small project, but I would advise away from Circle Ci for larger projects. Their feature set is immature if you want to do anything that requires a moderately complex workflow or need triggered deploys. Your builds are in a queue that can take ages sometimes. Their UI is pretty poor. For example, branches show up forever on a project even if you delete them from the repo. You actually have to ask their support to remove them.

I think you're both partially right. Profit motive is what drives people, but profit margins will be shrunk so in an established mining ecosystem like bitcoin you probably aren't going to make any profit (after accounting for opportunity costs).

I mostly cook a medium grain rice, but this works for other methods (though it takes attention):

Measure and wash rice until the water runs clear.
Add twice as much water (by volume) as you have rice to a saucepan, and a bit of salt.
Boil the water.
Stir in the rice.
Cover with a glass lid (clear lid is important) and reduce to medium/low heat, the water should just barely be boiling.
Wait until the steam tapers off and you can't see the water layer anymore.
Carefully remove the lid, and start stirring the rice.
Continue to stir until the last of the water is absorbed / boils off.

This results in fluffy rice that isn't wet and doesn't end up stuck to the bottom of the pan.
It illustrates how delightfully simple an invention telephony is. I'm surprised with all the effort that went into improving telegraphy that nobody had stumbled upon it sooner.
All crypto becomes easier (well, except for the one time pad). But some algorithms (AES, SHA) only require doubling the number of bits to achieve the same security level, which is rather trivial to do.

He is probably referencing the 128 bit security threshold most crypto systems seek to achieve. However this doesn’t really line up with the number of qubits needed to break said crypto, which is typically much larger (thousands of qubits, plus error correction to survive millions of operations).

Stuff like NERVA or Project Orion stayed proposals not because they're impossible, but because there's nowhere we really need to get that fast to justify the risks/expense/fallout.

Of course not, but if you want to be an app, be an app. There's huge value for consumers in standardization, that was something people liked about paper encyclopaedias back in the day: a huge amount of information presented in a consistent format that's easy to navigate. By comparison, the web is a drugstore magazine rack with minimal functionality wrapped up in eye candy.

Way back in the early days of the web (said the old man) you also had control over how stuff presented int eh browser, you could customize fonts etc. to read stuff in a way that was comfortable for YOU. I absolutely hate everything being defined at the server end; large parts of the Settings page in my browser don't actually mean anything because nobody uses standardized html any more, and so client-side user interface development has stalled badly. I swear desktop Linux looked better 15 years ago than it does now because people took theming more seriously.
I've been wondering about this lately. Honestly, and it kind of pains me to say this, I'm coming to the conclusion that alcohol is Bad.

Hey, quit laughing - I don't think that it is necessarily unhealthy to try and smooth out some of the bumps along life's road, but there have got to be better ways. And don't say, 'exercise.'

The cognitive hits of alcohol are just looking like they're too long term. Not even over a lifetime, but over a week. With all the information coming in about how it messes with our REM cycles and potentially inhibits learning that took place over the past day or two from sticking to your brain...I dunno.

What is the point of dropping your day's problems on the floor in the evening if doing so prevents you from learning or benefiting from the experience?

Edit: By which I mean, alcohol seems to cause a lot of issues around what your brain does while it sleeps, which seems to be what this article is calling out as a problem that can be exacerbated with age. Sorry, I guess I kind of jumped between topics there...
I would take a look at Laravel which is php on rails with less magic and more built in features such as authentication and background jobs.

A couple of other book recommendations that examine why we stick to the familiar and known:

2. Hit makers
Good points.

I'd also argue that humans don't want to tax their decision making skills as it's often time consuming & exhausting. When you purchase a Coca-Cola, the assumption is that you're purchasing dependability (taste, mouth feel, ingredients, packaging, etc). You have _no_ dependability trying a new product.

Will the product taste similar to Coca-Cola? Is the product more affordable than Coca-Cola? Is the generic soda's ingredient list worse than Coca-Cola's? Is this product available at multiple retailers or am I now forced to purchase the generic soda from a specific retailer? How do I choose which retailer's generic soda to try?

Now, move to the bread isle and start the process over! Clearly, this level of evaluation is taxing for a small purchase: bread, soda, chips, etc. However, most do take the time to evaluate large purchases: TVs, computers, homes, automobiles, etc.

TLDR: There are times where analyzing costs more time than it does dollars.
The biggest hurdle to move away from tipping is that the people that get screwed by the tipping culture are the first one to want to stay in it.

They are also the first ones to moralize people about how tipping is a must and if you don't tip, that poor waiter will be unable to make a living.

NO! The ones that get away easy in this whole scheme are the owners that have now no responsibility to pay their employees correctly.

I don't know all of the ins-and-outs of funding, but this[0] study says that there are other countries developing NMEs at a proportionately faster rate than the US.

From the discussion section:

>Pharmaceutical innovation is an international enterprise. Although the United States is an important contributor to pharmaceutical innovation, we found that more than 20 countries contributed to the development of the 288 NMEs with patents at the time of approval. More than 171 companies were involved in the development of these NMEs, and the vast majority of companies were multinationals with facilities located in more than 2 countries. We also found that the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Belgium, and a few other countries innovated proportionally more than their contribution to the global GDP or prescription drug spending, whereas Japan, Spain, Australia, and Italy innovated less.

Granted I know that GDP isn't the end-all be-all for determining how
drugs can be financed, but I think there is something to learn from the study and how other countries do business while continuing to innovate.

This is an either-or logical fallacy, acting like the only two options are either pure capitalism or pure socialism.

Many countries in the world manage to have some basics like socialized healthcare and education, yet they manage to not be hell-holes. Germany managed to enforce anti-trust legislation in their country to such an extent that Walmart left the country, yet "tens of millions of people" haven't been killed in the process.

Any ideology taken to a violent extreme is bad. That includes both communism and capitalism. Market failures are real, and the increase in socialist tendencies in the US is because most people recognize that those market failures need to be corrected.
