There may be a difference (I wouldn't call it "inarguable" based only on articles in the Western media, really) but it's more like the difference in falling from 1500 and 1200 feet- not the difference between falling and not falling, say.

Btw, I don't think you're as reasonable as you think, in not wanting to discuss the kind of hypothetical scenario I'm proposing. We could look at cases where exactly what I say has happened. It was very common back in the days of the Cold War with people defecting from the USSR to the US, etc.

I don't think the avocado toast meme has spawned the popularity of avocados, but rather the other way around.

Avocados have become very popular in the low-carb/paleo/"health" community, alongside coconut oil, and various other trending foods.

I don't think that people have been lacking the knowledge to put avocado on toast until a meme about millennials never being able to buy a house due to spending too much money on avocado on toast.
the industry has been fully aware of the problems with monoculture for a very long time now, and they don't really have much options to fix it

That's hard to believe. Look at tomatoes. We don't need genetic engineering to fix tomatoes, we need a change in marketing & consumer demand. Tomatoes have been hyper-optimized for a small set of parameters, leading to little variety and bland flavor. Yet, if you look in the right places, you can find perfectly edible reasonably priced alternatives, proving the flavorless beefsteak is not the only marketable tomato.

Absolutely agreed. BA's 777s are quite unpleasant, especially the older ones.
I actually do have a real example of this.

We use -race during our automated testing. The setup for some of our tests involves CPU mining (rapid blake2b hashing). This code definitely doesn't have any races, and it runs waaaaay slower when race detection is enabled. So we could speed up our tests significantly by disabling race detection just for the setup phase.

I've done the same line of work in a larger-scale armv8 processor.

I think there is no answer that doesn't involve sign-offs on certain things.

In the situation you described, we resorted to fully randomizing everything, and then adding constraints to ensure it remained legal. This is a tedious process, one that leads to multiple false-positive failing tests.

However, the opposite situation, writing constrained stimulus from the beginning, leads to gaps where you didn't think of randomizing something, or you over-constrained it.

It's similar to a top-down vs down-up approach, only one is difficult and tedious and riddled with false positives, whereas the other one is easier and simpler, but can hide bugs.

In the face of issues like what you said, we implemented randomized interface behavior. Interrupts are always meant to be program-order invisible, so you can randomize those (imagine, 100 interrupts back to back, or 1 every N cycles where N is random but smaller than 5 or 500 etc). Pure random isn't interesting on its own. You need controlled randomness. From that point, you have to then start adding constraints for illegal/impossible situations, and you have to be extremely careful about these. We found a bug a week before tapeout when a senior architect forced a junior engineer(wonder who this is) to add a constraint. He used his seniority to sign it off, without going through a group review, and it was a mistake.

I use my plugin whenever I visit etherdelta so I can be sure that their deployed version matches the one on github.com

This is very similar to the Amazon Go store currently being trialed by Amazon employees in Seattle. You check in to the store upon entering using the Amazon Go app, pick your items, then simply walk out. The store tracks what items you have on you then charges your account on exiting.

"A related issue is that most professional programming is, well, easy."

This realization struck me so hard when I started on my first 'real' job. After seven years of studying to obtain my bachelor and master degree in computer science and mathematics I went to work as a programmer. In the first week I realized that I probably could have done the same job in high school (to be honest, I am probably overestimating my past self).

Something is wrong with the hiring process. Everyone wants to hire the brightest graduates, and let them build simple webapps, while in general this is very uninteresting work. I bet that there are a lot of people without a degree who could do the same job a lot better, simply because it is more challenging and they have a more practical attitude.

No? Because before cryptocurrency, dumb money was in dumb apps like "Yo".

The problem isn't cryptocurrency or fads. Its stupid investors spending money on stupid things. I mean, its fine, its their money and all. But obviously, if investors spent the money on more useful things, it'd be better innovation for everyone (and those investors would surely get better returns).

At the moment, we're in an "everything bubble" and people just don't know what to put their money into. Bonds have low yields, the stock market has a dangerously high P/E ratio, and everything in venture capitalism has the word blockchain in it (even Hooters and Long Island Ice Tea). I'm sure there are some smart investors out there who have figured out what is truly useful, but like the old rule says: 90% of everything is crap. And that includes investments...
While BCAAs do break your fast, that's not entirely true. For example, green tea, black coffee, ACV, and likely others do not break your fast.
Every other month I go on a media diet: no social media, no news, no unnecessary browsing of any kind - only books and a small number of podcasts are allowed (plus whatever Internet usage is necessary for work).

> One thing has to be noted, while there is a constant parallel drawn with dot com people forget that there was at least 7-8 years head start for a layman to understand "internet".

Bitcoin has been around for 8 years so it's not like there hasn't been enough time. The difference is that the internet was easy to explain to people because it had a number of immediately useful applications: you could almost immediately send email, read the news or stream audio content (by 1995), lookup stock information and place trades, download software, buy things, chat, find a date or adult content, etc. — in most cases things people had been able to do starting at some point in the late 1970s using online services like CompuServ or bulletin boards, only easier and cheaper. Most of these were also easy to explain because they had familiar analogues: buying a book or CD online in the early 90s was immediately familiar — it's like buying from a catalog except that you don't have the delays receiving the catalog and mailing or phoning in your order.

The difference is that Bitcoin doesn't solve a problem which the average person has. To the average person it sounds like using a credit card except that most places don't take it, the fees are orders of magnitude higher, and there's no fraud protection. How many people have a legal reason to prefer it other than paying ransomware or speculating on its price?
Also, concerns about the long term (decades+) results of fixing similar issue by only splicing new genes in.

It’s perhaps analogous to how list prices for college tuition aren’t necessarily reflective of what people actually pay.

It’s a complex system and the price increases are used in part to negotiate with the intermediaries like PBMs.

Biologics are a special case also due to complexities in how they (and biosimilars) are regulated, manufactured, and exclusivity periods they are granted. They certainly are not a few cents a dose to make.

Not a satisfying answer, and apologies for that, but it’s difficult to traverse with anything approaching brevity.

From my third link: "Exports of avocados from the state of Michoacan, the top source of both the fruit and immigrants to Chicago, have risen fivefold since 2004." And that was in 2008. Mexicans are genuinely starting to be unable to afford avocado. This is decidedly bizarre to me, since it's a common staple food in Mexico. It's like hearing that potatoes are too expensive for the Irish.

I can't find accurate avocado prices worldwide, but the soaring prices over the last decade or so are easily attestable in Mexico, or at least their effects are. I think the prices have always been high in the US due to tariffs and transportation costs. So perhaps the prices haven't changed much, but the demand sure has.

More than anything, the cost to transact with Bitcoin or Etherium (which this article weirdly focuses on), stagnates mainstream adoption.

Sure, I could create my own coin to use as an in-app currency for my project, but why? A coin is only worth what you can buy with it, and nobody is going to sell anything worthwhile with some random, in-app coin.

Even Bitcoin was just abandoned by Microsoft, because it's so overpriced you'd have to be insane to trade anything for it other than high-risk investment cash.

Until this bonkers hype cycle gets to the peak of productivity, the blockchain has no real world purpose other than as a shared database.

A medical company using old processors and gcc2 for their system is not running on AWS.

But still no. Deterministic means the the input maps consistently to the output. The hardware in this sense is doing the mapping. Deterministic does not mean for all x the only mapping is f(x). It means when f(x) is the mapping f(x) does not change to f'(x). However g(x) is a perfectly deterministic possibility for a mapping too. Point being two hardwares f(x) and g(x) can independently deterministically map x. The existence of two hardwares does not affect whether it's possible to deterministically map x or not. The reality and I think your point is that if you are unaware a different hardware is performing the mapping this can lead to a result that would appear nondeterministic. But the original point with the medical company anecdote is that this is only an appearance and in some domains people go to great lengths to make sure they intimately understand their f(x) and make sure they're not using a g(x) they don't understand.
That's called the telephone test. From The Elements of Programming Style (referenced in my article):

"Use the telephone test for readability. If someone could understand your code when read aloud over the telephone, it's clear enough. If not, then it needs rewriting."

I agree that the telephone test heuristic gives you an idea of readability, but in 1974 Kernighan and Plauger assumed someone one the other end of the phone who knew Fortran or PL/I.

Trying to explain a moderately complex class hierarchy or a factory function or a closure over the phone would prove challenging. I could explain the purpose of the code at a level someone else could understand, but they might not recognize the implementation when looking at the code.

A few years ago, doing maintenance on an abandoned production system, I came across a function with the comment "Produce a unique six-digit identifier that doesn't start with 0". The original programmer could have explained that to me over the phone, but his implementation (in PHP) was not clear at first or second glance. I expected this:

$id = rand(100000, 999999);

Instead the function started with a loop to get the first digit:

while (true) {
$first = rand(0, 9);
if ($first != 0) break;
}

I'm not making this up.

Then another loop to pick five more digits in the range 0..9. Then a database query to see if that ID was used, and if it was the function called itself recursively. I'm not kidding.

So while I would have understood the problem described over the phone, I didn't recognize the implementation at first sight. If the programmer had read the code to me over the phone I might have assumed I was missing some requirement that led to this overly-complicated implementation. Not all of the code looked like this so I don't know how the original programmer got wound around the axle on this function.
Two of those articles are from 2008 - was avocado toast a meme 10 years ago?
