I had no idea that retirement communities could grow to the size of cities. This place is amazing [1] [2]. Peter Thiel and Y Combinator talk about building cities or planned communities, but it looks like it's already been done. And now they're adding fully autonomous vehicles. I think this is also the perfect place to test fully automated grocery stores, restaurants, and home automation. You could set up automatic payments for everything via facial recognition / GPS / bluetooth. I never considered that the "city of the future" would be a retirement community with lots of elderly people.

I wonder if they have security cameras covering every street, similar to the UK. You could set up some facial tracking across all the cameras, and a centralized security system in every house, and it might become the safest city in the world. It could also make a great episode of Black Mirror.

I work remotely on my laptop, and my wife and I have a lot of hobbies, including yoga, ballet, archery, art, music [3]. We're living in Chiang Mai, and many of the archery club members are retirees from the UK. So we're already interacting out with some older people, and don't have any qualms about it. All residents of The Villages must be over the age of 19, but 20% of the houses can be owned by younger people who live by themselves. Not saying we would want to live there, but it's not too hard to imagine.

This would also be a great place to build home automation startups (or even city automation), just like Voyage is doing. For example, many of the residents might be able to afford robotic chefs [4]. The system could automatically order your groceries, and they'd be delivered by a self-driving Voyage car. Then another robot in your house could receive the delivery and store the food in your smart refrigerator.

It also makes me realize that a blockchain might be unnecessary. You trust your neighbors, you trust the people who manage the community, and you trust the legal system, lawyers, judges, and prisons. So there's probably no need for a trustless payment network in a community like this. The Octopus card works fine in Hong Kong, and it's just integers in a database.

Lots of people are working from home these days, so I think this might lead to more planned communities. The digital nomad lifestyle is great for a while, but it gets exhausting after a few years. Hopefully there will some communities that are geared towards younger people and people with families. I've also been following the High Street Cohousing Project [5] in New Zealand. Would be very interested to hear about other cohousing projects and planned communities.

> If Twitter did not have an API key, they would spend 2x the money on absorbing & defending against DDoSes and security vulnerabilities. That cost would get passed on to us with frequent outages and many more ads in our feeds. Or a leak of someones DMs.

This is complete nonsense. Attackers aren't going to follow your TOS, so what possible benefit could asking your users to do it on little more than the honor system provide?
Pretty much :-D

Extorting them to do specific actions would certainly be more interesting. If you could get dirt on 1% of SV's 1%, you could use their power to change the region significantly.
Thank you for your response and followup. I really appreciate Gitlab.com, I participate in some smaller projects that use it. For the main project I work on (CiviCRM.org), however, self-hosting is an important factor.

It's not so much about being a non-profit, but being an open source project. It's difficult to budget with a per-person fee (considering 70% of people might post on our gitlab only once or twice per year). How would it work if Debian or Gnome adopted Gitlab EE?
It's a rare driver that actually follows the rules. Speed limits are almost never followed. I frequently see drivers go through a light that has already turned red, roll through a stop sign without fully stopping or come dangerously close to hitting a pedestrian to whom they were supposed to yield the right of way.

Drivers routinely kill other drivers or pedestrians through carelessness. Few if any cyclists ever kill someone else. If anything we need more rigorous tests for drivers, not for cyclists.
Honestly, I actually find it really really fast. I don't know how long you've been doing this and I suspect that may be the issue here, but for me it just comes so naturally now that I can't think of any other tool someone could use to outrun me using CSS/HTML.

More broadly, to me, that combo is one of the tools that makes me feel most connected to the output, as the results are near instantaneous.
Google Drive is probably perfect for you use case.

I know you asked about cloud storage. But the rise of Vloggers and Youtube creators and their 4K video requirements is driving a lot of innovation in hard drives. That $100 could also get you something like this sweet rugged portable 1TB SSD unit. Perfect companion for drone cinematography in the great outdoors ;)

Yes, though it's moderately hard to exploit against a specific target. It's more useful for bulk attacks - getting everyone who visits a specific web site to run a DDOS attack, or ransomware.

How to Improve Hotspot Data Hashing on an Elastic Cache Platform
Shockingly easy to read, explained in plain language. I didn't remember neural net articles being so accessible, especially old ones.

Hints for successful application are funny to read. Each and every word in there has been the subject of tons of papers.

>Butterfly Labs, HashFast, and CoinTerra were all US-based. Then you had KnCMiner in Sweden, Spondoolies in Israel, etc.

None of them produced anything. CoinTerra was the only that didn't close as a result of charges related to fraudulent activity. Not to be a jerk, but that's not what I was asking. You provided supporting evidence to my claim.

>I would say that Bitmain was a huge gamble in the early days since the ASICs depreciate very fast and thus any delay in developing them can be fatal. But after selling eight generations of hardware at very high margins they can probably coast now.

That's more in line with what I asked. I'm not in disagreement, but rather looking for any research into why the mining market currently stands this way.
Hmm, I wonder if these processes are features designed to combat perceived fraud. (Or, in the case of some administrators, because they don't believe the benefits should be paid?)
This is basically just a stub OS. For something with "distributed" in the name, there should probably be a network stack... or at least (since this is an exokernel) some sort of networking library.

And that's probably what determined the result. The courts are not run by stupid people, they don't like that the system is exploited.
The bit twiddling in this looks fairly naive/slow.

There's some really great, fantastically fast methods in https://graphics.stanford.edu/~seander/bithacks.html that require some interesting insights in finite fields. These are usually the sorts of techniques you'd want to turn to for bit twiddles
Configuration via JSON is common (Sublime Text, the most popular)

I haven't tried Sublime Text. I was comparing VSCode with Visual Studio, and IDEs I consider to be in the same space like Netbeans and Eclipse.
Did this happen during a blind spot check or did you look to the side in order to determine a good speed and find a gap to merge into?

When this kind of thing happens, its in my experience much more often for the latter reason. The driver keeps looking over their shoulder for one, two seconds or more, in order to figure out the flow of traffic in the other lane, while ignoring their lane. By accident, of course, but its worth keeping in mind.
"For much of the hundred-plus years of its existence, the industry has been on a kind of artificial life support, as state and federal governments have, directly and indirectly, subsidized coal companies to keep the industry afloat."

That is not capitalistic as the article claims.

"A deeply cynical capitalist experiment has taken place, in which coal companies are kept profitable by passing on the costs they incur to the public."

This is corporate welfare. I hate how this sort of thing is being labelled capitalistic, most who support capitalism hate this sort of thing.
I wish I thought it was so easy and simple to make the world a better place. The idea of being a kind of modern Mata Hari has a certain appeal, but seems pretty unrealistic.
What he's doing, writing CFD codes from scratch, is basically all math. You should be pretty comfortable solving PDEs by hand, then learn about the numerical solutions.
Still the argument that "high transaction costs are because the blocks are too small" doesn't conflict with the argument that there is no easy way to change the code running bitcoin's blockchain, and in fact the latter would allow the former.

People who say this rarely have tried using a SPA on IE8. As the OP said, you'll provide a better experience giving them a pain ole server rendered app.
“They” are? Everyone seems to expect everything in Bitcoin development to happen by magic and complain when things don’t happen quite fast enough. These complainers are rarely writing code to make it happen themselves though. If you don’t like it, get involved and help it move faster. Lightning is testing right now, so people who want to help could start there by helping to test the network.
But all else is not equal. Bitcoins are getting increasingly more difficult to mine.
But seriously there is great potential in a blockchain system that tracks intellectual property ownership in a distributed fashion.
It's lagging. A new ASIC order takes at best 2-3 months to arrive in the market.
I don't understand why you excluded immigration as one of those choices.

In fact, nurses have been trickling in from Philippines and elsewhere. This program could be expanded considerably soon, as we have already seen with retail, construction and other sectors.
I have an iPhone 6, and didn’t notice any further performance issues after upgrading to 11.2.2. I did have pretty serious issues (which have mostly remained) since upgrading to iOS 11. So I don’t think the latest version did anything more, at least on my phone.
No, they are exporting cryptographic proof that they turned that energy into heat.
Do you really not see the difference between money changing hands for a comodity that has a physical basis, and the nominal creation of value through a process where the computation involved results in waste heat?
So, if I understand you correctly, being able to generate context-aware comparisons from similar knowledge is understanding? (I promise I'm not trying to trap you -- I think this is interesting and would like to explore more.)

What do you think about the classic example from computational linguistics[0]? Is that approaching understanding?

That seems like a neat trick, not actual comprehension, but I don't know why.

Aren't ASICs extremely expensive to develp? The one StackExchange article I found on ASIC pricing (https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/7042/how-muc...) seems to confirm that.

My impression is there's a significant amount in the investing class who see Bitcoin as a hyped bubble. Sure, there's Peter Thiels, but there's also people like Warren Buffett who won't touch it with a ten foot pole at the moment. (https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/jan/10/bitcoin-a...).

You don't need ASICs per se for general blockchain technology... the main advantage of ASICs are speed of mining, something that probably won't be needed as much once the general mania pops one way or another. So an ASIC mining chip seems to me fairly vulnerable. For instance, if you just spent a million making a lot of ASIC mining chips, news like China possibly starting to crack down on mining (https://www.ft.com/content/adfe7858-f4f9-11e7-88f7-5465a6ce1...) would probably not make you happy.

Thank you for making this post. I've never been pro-ID laws, but I've never really seen the issue with them when implemented in a fair way.

In my teenage years, I went fishing aboard a long liner.

I shared my shift with four intimidating Icelandic men.
I usually stood by the line, making sure that any fish that were hooked got inside the boat.

During one of my shifts, under heavy storms, an absolutely massive knot came up. I tried to untie it, but ended up having to call for help.
The Icelanders went to town on it, but did not make a lot of progress.

In frustration, one of them screamed at me to go get the knot book from the captain.
I ran as fast as I could. Up on deck, a huge wave hit, and I almost fell overboard.

Got up to the bridge. Captain just laughed and told me to fuck off.

When I got back, they had untied the knot.

I never lived it down.

> A good example of this are the crashes seen on Tour de France.

Basing rules for cyclists on the Tour de France is like basing rules for automobiles on F1 or Nascar. Normal commuters just don't reach anything close to Tour de France speeds. Most would be lucky to even maintain a third of that speed without the help of a hill.

Most commuters will be going about 10 mph. Even getting hit with a car at that speed will only cause an injury at all about 25% of the time, a serious injury about 15% of the time and is almost never fatal[1]. A bicycle will barely do anything at that speed.

By all means add special rules for using bicycles at unusually high speeds, but don't act like normal commuters are going to be going that speed.

Okay, the bitcoins may be an export product but not the energy. Energy is no more exported here than it would be exported if use with non-metaphorical mining of iron ore. In real world mining you might say energy is converted into a physical comodity, e.g., the ore. In bitcoin, it's converted into a much more abstract financial instrument & transaction verification service.

I agree about the usefulness of such a framework. Subjective experiences draw optimizations (self-improvement), so by observing, we naturally are changed. This does not assume improvement; for that, we have to combine change with a fitness function.

Pardon my ignorance, but how does the research account for the benefits of caloric reduction? How do we know if it's the disciplined fasting, or if simple caloric reduction is part of the equation?

That information would help me decide whether I have to be strict about no eating. Much of the advice I've seen amounts to allowing some leeway in small caloric inputs.
> but this is way outside the scope of what a warranty would traditionally cover

The warranty and any other legalese from intel is irrelevant here, this is about consumer protection laws of various countries that supersede an intel warranty. A serious post sale drop in performance would be enough for a refund on any computer purchased in many countries. In Australia if I bought a computer 6 months ago I'd be entitled to take it back to the store for a refund, then it's up to them to argue with dell and dell to argue with intel.

> Note that the cost of overly onerous regulation (e.g. requiring that every computer manufacturer replace these chips even though the problems can largely be worked around in software) is of course passed onto consumers.

Demanding that a product works and in lieu of that offering a replacement or refund is not overly onerous regulation, it's a very basic standard protection.

1) It's not an immediate priority for us, and not really a strength. We are partnering with an amazing company for our second generation vehicle that will go a long way towards this, though. In general, we are excited to see LIDAR sensors become slimmer.
