There's no evidence for that, all the evidence so far points to linear additive models being sufficient to model the link between genes and intelligence. Here's one good overview: _Genetics and intelligence differences: five special findings_ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4270739/
Great article.

>>Preston Byrne argues: well, effectively what you’re saying is that “tokenization onto a blockchain allows you to break securities laws.” That’s hardly an innovation so much as a circumvention.

That's an innovation in circumventing centralized authorities.

>>As a payments layer, Bitcoin is slow, expensive, and unscalable. But if Bitcoin is to serve as digital gold, that doesn’t matter. Bitcoin being hard to move around encourages people to treat it like gold. Almost all of the political and economic characteristics of Bitcoin make it the natural cryptocurrency to fill this niche.

This is not true. A store of value needs to be mobile to be effective. Value is only stored to eventually be moved. Bitcoin's liquidity has to concentrate on off-chain ledgers controlled by trusted third parties when on-chain transaction fees are exorbitant. That makes it highly susceptible to regulations.

If in 10 years, almost all trade in Bitcoin is being done on exchanges, and almost all trade in another cryptocurrency is being done in peer-to-peer retail transactions, and China shuts down its exchanges, the other cryptocurrency will still have significant liquidity in China, while Bitcoin's will be severely reduced.

Lightning Network is beginning to be tested on mainnet, but it has a long ways to go until it's widely available in wallets and merchants.

It's also a somewhat unproven concept. Trustless multi hop payment channels have been proven to work, but a fully functioning network of them hasn't.

By looking at the correlation of traits between monozygotic and dyzygotic (identical and fraternal) twins, you can tease apart the effects of genes, shared environment, and non-shared environment. The wikipedia page on twin studies is pretty good.
Bitcoin is not just software.

Research behind implementing Schnorr signatures, lightning network, confidential transactions, efficient confidential transactions (bulletproofs), is bleeding edge research in cryptography mixed with whole bunch of other fundamentals.

Nodejs required practically no academic research while bitcoin needs it heavily today still.

For example, you have papers like above being published in the context of bitcoin. 60 pages of untrivial math, and that's just one idea of how to scale bitcoin.
Luckily you could use literally any other cryptocurrency that anyone isn't using to get fast tx's and low fees.
Eh? It's about ensuring that a program running on the computer cannot be altered or compromised in order to run unintended code.

The vast majority of the compute time is finding the nonce that produces the output hash with the appropriate number of leading zeros. The transaction merkle tree output is an input to that calculation and transactions only need to be computed once per block. The rest of the time is generating hashes with random nonces.

I WANT 2 way binding so I could achieve what I wanted to achieve.

The only way to get the performance out of angular 2 was to NOT use 2 way binding and hack it together.

Vue / React examples didn't suffer from 8 seconds of render time using 2 way binding on a large number of elements.

You can sit and defend angular 2 all you want, doesn't change the fact it's terrible.

Let's not even get into the angular api 2 changing after they said it wouldn't. And regressions of the angular cli, and breaking changes on minor updates.
Do you mean voluntarily sharing? The biggest problem I see with that is that during recessions, the ratio of need to "sharers" goes way up.
Absolutely. This is the real problem. It's not bad that they came up with such a system. It's that they haven't thought it through so it's ripe for abuse. There definitely need to be safeguards in place before it's actually implemented that spell out what can and can't be done with the data, who has access, how long it will be retained, etc.

Bitcoin is a ponzi because current market conditions are hiding the huge amount of potential volatility rested in convertable worthless currencies like Tether AND the gigantic number of "turtled" speculators. By definition, Bitcoin can't provide value without future buyers. With securities, there are dividends and settlements - or the "potential for future dividends."

Bitcoins true value might be close to $500 once these hidden potential sellers emerge and transact. The current back and forth market activity does not illuminate the true supply and demand. In fact because the exchanges are unregulated, the market activity is highly manipulated. So even just thinking it's worth a lot because its going up, is falling for a Ponzi. The reason it's going up is precisely because of the greedy pouncers waiting in the grass. When they decide to act it will be equivalent to a bank run. Then we will see the true supply and demand curves. Until then, the charts are as if Madoff is supplying them...

I've also achieved substantial improvement with simple parabolic shaped, ~40 cm wide aluminum foil constructions, but there always seemed a bit luck involved and it needed some tweaking. Not sure whether the foil mainly acted as shielding that reduces the noise floor from other directions. I've read in other forums that fiddling with aluminum foil is mostly luck because additional reflective surfaces also introduce interferrence patterns unless they are precisely aligned. Even without aluminum foil it often helps to move either receiver or sender by fractions of 12.5 cm (the wavelength of 2.4 Ghz radiation) or of 6.0 cm (in case of 5 Ghz) because the space is basically riddled with interference patterns: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqqEYz38ens
Nope, the main issue is indeed the fact that it can't store a whole lot of energy (also important that they can't maintain a high output for too long), but we still talk in MW as that is what we're primarily concerned with (MW flow on a line going over the line's rating...not having enough generation (MW) to meet load (MW)...etc). Saying a battery can't store enough MW isn't scientifically accurate, but it is the slang of the industry if you will. If you worked in the water industry they're probably very concerned with water flow rates. In high voltage transmission we're concerned with the flow of power (MW (real power) & MVAR (reactive power))

This is a good overview of the ways to deal with this in C++. However, I often run into situations in large code bases with deep inheritance heirarchies where calling Super::Foo() on virtual methods is necessary for correct functionality and a frequent source of bugs.

To the extent that I have control over the architecture, I prefer flat hierarchies with pure virtuals and final implementations, but what are good approaches to solving this issue for deeper class hierarchies? Is there a good alternative to the pseudo Super if Class A, B, C, and D each need to twiddle some state when you call ::Foo() on an object of type E?

sp332 somehow tried to argue against a ruling through a court of law mentioning this post https://blog.patternsinthevoid.net/the-forest-for-the-trees....

For the record: The first (and many times the only) place rape allegations should be made are with the police so that they can be judged by a court of law.

Accusing someone of a heinous crime like this (yes the prison sentences mentioned in the blog post should be mostly correct) can ruin someone s life even without a ruling. There was a fucking lynchmob for christ sake.

To the allegationa against Appelbaum: They were mostly proven to be false or probably false. There were many accounts against the accuser and the accounts that went against the accused were (afaik) mostly disproven (no claim was ever proven or brought before a court of law). Here is a Spiegel article about it for the once too lazy to google http://www.zeit.de/kultur/2016-08/jacob-appelbaum-rape-alleg...

> It isn't even trying to solve it through the most straightforward way: raising the block size limit.

Okay. The blocksize is raised and now people find new uses when the thing scales better. Streaming money is one such use case. Now you raise the blocksize to a level that needs to support streaming money, now it's so big that your ASICs cannot validate all the incoming blocks, blockchain grows faster than validation.

How to fix the problem now?

Blocksize is a temporary solution to a current popularity issue. Let's just let the hype die a little bit, so there's time to find a proper solution.

If Internet issues were solved by meddling with topology or adding more cable we'd get no where near the current efficient protocols.
How many 100 MW batteries exist and how economical are they? 100 MW is much better than 10 MW, but still small if you look at the current load in MISO, SPP, PJM, ISO-NE, NYISO, CAISO...etc. So we have a long time before we can get rid of all fossil based sources...and even then how long can that battery provide 100 MW?

It doesn't, the authors are calling this out to limit the scope of linearizability to per-object. You're thinking about strict serializability.

The authors mention that transactions can be implemented in a way to support this by including a first step to steal all objects needed by the transaction. I believe this would give you strict serializability at a global level, but does have trade-offs in needing to know all objects at the start of a transaction, and other implications on latency, etc from this step.

The authors also note they haven't implemented transactions yet.

Also worth noting that some of the extensions/optimizations, such as the mentioned 'locality adaptive object stealing optimization' won't work as described with multi-object transactions. I could see additional work to identify groups of objects, but this would be very workload specific and not suitable as a generic solution.
If the police are operating it so often that this is a serious concern it raises bigger questions.
Hmm. You mention having

> ...Another reason to preallocate Python lists when possible.

But how would one do that? I mean, you could do `list(range(10000))` which would in a sense pre-allocate a 10000-element list. But, does the `list()` operation look ahead and make a list that size at once, or does it just keep appending the next item from the iterable, going through the 12% expansions multiple times?

Also, I can't think offhand of an iterable that would generate N identical "empty" list items. Like 10000 zeros or 10000 Nones. Anyone?

Bitcoin cash doesn’t have artificially low constraints on capacity. 10 years ago, it was 1MB.

Despite all the advancements of storage and networking, it’s still essentially 1MB to a maximum of 1.8MB if everyone implements a complicated and costly to develop system called SegWit, and to fully use SegWit you have to use backwards incompatible addresses.

The main cause of high transaction costs is that the demand for transactions has reached the limit for what the bitcoin network can handle (currently 1MB of global transaction data per 10 minutes). There is no general consensus as to how to solve this though and the community is split between "big blockers" and "small blockers".

Big blockers believe that it should possible to solve this problem directly, by increasing the block size limit. "Small blockers" argue that this is not a suitable solution in the long term because the block size would need to grow to gigabytes per minute to compete with existing payment networks and that would be technically challenging and politically undesirable (since only a handful of well-connected nodes would be able to handle all that traffic).

The promised solution, according to the small blockers, is to add extra layers to the bitcoin network, with things such as the Lightning Network. Regular folk would clear their transactions through payment processors and only these payment processors would still use the original bitcoin network. Big blockers complain that these second-layer solutions are not truly decentralized and do not conform to the original ideals of bitcoin. They also point out that there are lots of unsolved problems and technical challenges for these second layer solutions, which have been constantly "just around the corner" for a long time...
> Whether that buggy behaviour is useful to you in some way doesn't change that it's not "working" in any meaningful sense.
