I know this is sacrilege to cryptocurrency believers, but the primary value of controlling a fiat currency is the ability to stabilize your economy. It permits you to decouple the unit by which you measure economic value, from fluctuations in the total economic value in your economy.

If you think of a currency unit as the unit of measurement for economic value, then when the economy shrinks you will need less of them, and when it grows you will need more of them. Fiat currency is desirable for the same reason a tape measure is more useful than a yardstick.

This is directly observable in the economic history of the United States. If you chart constant-dollar annual GDP growth from 1930 to today, there is an obvious decrease in volatility.

I think we shouldn't (as I posit the title is doing) conflate "technology" with "attention-fueled consumer products". I'd like my (future) kids to be able to work with technology, but not waste (too much, whatever that means) time on time-filling consumer content online.

My hypothesis is that by giving them games and toys that are explicitly designed for them to modify for their own entertainment, they will learn to make technology in their image rather than the other way around.

For example, Minecraft is hugely popular with kids (or at least was the last time I looked), and can be a gentle introduction to concepts that can be applied to technology. I grew up on Lego Mindstorms, which blew my young mind when I could build and program a Lego robot to do whatever I could figure out how to program.
Promising, maybe.

Still not practical. APIs available to the web ecosystem are always going to be one level abstracted or behind their fully native counterparts.

Isn't Haskell's "Int" an arbitrary-sized integer, while C's "int" is... like, whatever the compiler makes of it, typically a 32 or 64 bit int?

With the ackermann function, it's not obvious that the compiler can proof a lack of overflow, and optimize out the bigint-ness.

Since I can't see the graphs, I don't know what input ranges the author used, and thus can't tell if the C version even gave the correct answer.
Surely no vulnerabilities should be disclosed to the US government earlier than the public because it does abuse them to hack people's computers, and it doesn't make its own systems that would need protecting any more than private companies do. It's like giving a hacker group advanced notification.

Imagine the roles being reversed. Would we care if a Chinese chip maker notified Google before the Chinese government? I'm sure nobody on HN would be complaining. That makes it look like naive American-centrism.
What's the evidence that learning/adaptation happens in a positive direction in markets? Without the directionality indicator, it sounds more like "this system has changed" rather than "this system has improved".

Also, the positive assertion that markets learn/adapt requires evidence more than the negative. The default assumption should be that the market changes randomly.
I agree, that is an important distinguishing point between trading card packs and loot boxes and I am glad that you mentioned it. Looking at trading card packs in isolation of drafting, I would call the two the same. But drafting does create a situation where trading card packs actually have an entertainment use beyond the gambling-like mechanic that exists when the pack is looked at in isolation.

Doesn't that mean that it is a “near certainty” that the U.S. Government was aware of it, because authorities (NSA, etc) routinely monitor all such communications?
This case study is nonsense. There is no case in which a native app will be 148MB in size, while a web app with comparable functionality will be 233kB. None.

Quite aside from anything else, the Starbucks PWA is a strictly worse experience than the native application.
> Instead of getting second hand stuff, it's easier for me to just get new stuff from Ikea. But what's happening to all the second hand stuff that I would've bought? Does it all just go into the landfill? Because that's a waste.

the stuff you would've bought at near-Ikea prices won't be trashed, rather it will likely have to sell for slightly less. and the stuff that would've been that price will sell for slightly less, all the way down to some stuff that might've gone for a few dollars on craigslist will be given away for free. and the stuff that was only worth $0 will instead be trashed.

along the way, some folks of more limited means will be able to purchase slightly nicer furniture than if you'd gone and bought the nicest thing they could afford.

>The orthogonality is essentially follows from (1) integer frequency complex sinusoids have an average value of zero over [0,2π], and (2) if you multiply two distinct integer frequency complex sinusoids, you get another integer frequency complex sinusoid. I'm not sure that this is any more intuitive.

i think these kinds of explanations are hilariously pointless. and i don't mean to disparage because you're just trying to answer op's question but all you've done is restated the proof in english - i.e. of course it follows from that because what you've just said is the inner product of basis functions is 0. well yes of course that's definition of orthogonal.

I once saw a sign on a door at a hotel in California that said something similar to this: "This door leads to an area with chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm"

I have not encountered a single case where a web app offered a better experience than a native app.

There is a reasonable argument that it's cheaper to develop, allowing support for more platforms to be rolled out with less development time. That's the single reason that might be valid.

I agree it can be fun. And lots of us probably have written such systems ourselves. However, even for those of us who could write one, sometimes you just want to use a tool, not write it and worry about bugs and new features constantly. A good pluggable static site generator can potentially give you a lot more featues than something you write yourself.
It might be an unconvincing piece, but it still seems like a very plausible hypothesis to me.

That’s "Integer". "Int" is fixed-size.

No, Haskell's Int is a machine integer; if you want a bigint, you use Integer rather than Int.
You say that, but Bretton Woods worked for 26 years - the pegs were based on trade balances, and were adjusted occasionally as needed - no magic involved.

Apples to oranges. The download size of a native app, while important to keep low, will have minimal effect of the actual user experience post-download. Web applications will in almost all cases be a strictly worse user experience.
Vivoactive 3 also has a week uptime if you do not use GPS [1] Vivoactive HR can do with 8 days even. Both assumes you don't use the GPS. When you use that, battery life is far less, but you don't use that 24/7.

I'm quite lost with regards to Garmin as in which devices do what. I feel like I'm lost in a forest. If anyone has a comparison website, I'd love to read such. From what I can tell it appears the Fenix has hardware buttons which the Vivoactive's doesn't.

Ah, by draft we are referring to a mode of play in modern CCGs: one where players gather around a table, passing packs around and picking cards from them for the purpose of making a deck on the spot, and then playing with that deck in the subsequent tournament.

With drafting, having a randomized pack actually serves a purpose other than gambling, in that the unknown nature of the contents of the pack means that the people sitting at the table picking cards for their deck don't know what will be coming and what others have picked (which makes the act of this drafting itself an interesting skill and entertaining experience separate from merely "opening a pack hoping for a good card")
So, where do you live that isn't contributing to gentrification or increasing housing costs? In a tent under a freeway?
Yup. This is a huge flaw in the CA proposition system.

"Should we warn people if cancer-causing chemicals are used in the construction of a building?"

Sure. I mean, that makes sense, right? However, the net aggregate of these (often conflicting) propositions is extremely counterproductive.

I usually refer people to https://spurvoterguide.org/ (even if you don't agree point-by-point, it's a sensible baseline across everything) - often things that look sensible on the face of it are really impractical.
Except from 2010 - 2015 many teens did feel a crushing sense of economic dread as they dealt with the realities of student loans, an out of reach housing market, devalued college degrees, the gig economy, promises of no retirement, etc.

With a successful enough exit, you don't particularly need VC money for future businesses. And your business name should have the standard discreet naming system - something generic for putting on resumes, rather than something explicit like "titties-r-us LLC".

Past that, the conversation is about a generic video site, and you can talk about content and bandwidth and getting traffic etc without ever mentioning that it's porn. Don't lie if asked outright, of course, but competent people should be able to read through the lines and notice that you have the good sense to keep the porn involvement discreet.

Like, people don't punish you for being involved in porn unless they're super Puritan. They punish you for not having the good sense to shut up about it and the related risk of you embarrassing them by association. Demonstrate that you can talk about your business activities without being crude and they'll be more willing to play ball.
Last I heard he was talking about proof of storage, which seems like it has the potential to do for hard drive prices what the others have done for graphics cards!
Yeah, those thresholds got set way too low. But worse, they don't really provide much in the way of actual _information_, as several people above have noted.

An article I read about this whole coffee thing mentioned that

"The state Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment adopted new regulations last year that will require more specific warnings that list the chemical consumers may be exposed to and list a website with more information. Parking garages, for example, will have to post that breathing air there exposes drivers to carbon monoxide and gas and diesel exhaust and warns people not to linger longer than necessary."

(From: https://www.cnbc.com/2017/09/26/coffee-sold-in-california-co...)

...which should hopefully make the warnings more useful - though I've no idea whether their overall usefulness will outweigh their overall cost.

I'm not sure I follow. How does a data breach relate to his comment? In fact, it might be quite a lot better if the security mindset was "literally anyone could have access to the raw bits". Strong encryption might not be so often regarded as gravy.
Your comprehension seems spot on to me, though maybe you feel like you're missing something given the apparent discrepancy between the hype vs. value of this research. I think there are two relevant factors here:

1) MIT is very good at publicity and press.

2) Causal neuroscience experiments are still technically challenging to implement in complex behaving organisms (e.g. monkeys and humans). We have methods such as microstimulation (invasive) and transcranial magnetic stimulation (non-invasive), but these methods are pretty ham-fisted. They indiscriminately activate (or deactivate) all the neurons in and passing through a given volume in the brain (optogenetics is promising in this regard, but it's still a nascent technology in monkeys). So while this study may appear weak because it's correlational, it may actually represent a meaningful step forward in the field.
I have no idea how this will work out, but IIRC USD stayed at like 0.93 USD for a few months some time ago, and then went back to parity and then occasionally above parity.

Housing market is pretty bad factor. Most generations previous could afford a starter house on two minimum wage or a bit above minimum wage incomes. In many areas today you need two engineering incomes to pay off a 30 yr mortgage.
I agree. The jump to “real” furniture is ridiculous. Suddenly the dinner table cost $3000. And if you try to find something in between there are the stores whose main selling point seem to be that they aren’t IKEA. Their prices are double and the quality is worse than IKEA.
I don't think that's a reasonable summation, there is a correlation between mobile phone use while there are other studies showing teens assigned to use less of Facebook are more happy. The author could not find movement in other variables that could account for this change, although of course that does not prove that they don't exist (she only mentions homework and economic growth). It's obviously not definitive and she acknowledges this, but it is striking nonetheless.
