Ethereum at $700 would have be crazy profitable 6-8 months ago, but it no longer is, due to increased difficulty. You might scrape a little profit there, but in June that would have represented ~$10 in profit a day on a 1080TI. Now it's maybe $2.

I hate to be nitpicking about good news, but the S&P 500 is down less than 7% from it's peak, that's hardly a crash. Especially after gaining 26% over the previous year. And, after increasing over 90% the last 5 years.

Obviously, either way a decline in the stock market indexes is good news for almost everyone. I'm hoping for a real crash as I need to save lots more money, not just for my retirement but also for my kids college.

This is a great argument against the idea that women don't go into those fields because they're somehow incapable of this kind of technical work, but I don't think it's so useful against the claim that they don't because they're just not interested in those fields.
As someone who is hypersensitive to chemicals and fragrances of all kind, I can say without any doubt that in my case depression is caused by environmental toxicity.

I can become suicidally depressed with the flip of a switch, if I'm exposed to the right toxin. In my case it is mold and certain fragrances or perfumes.

And I have no history of depression, and no childhood trauma of any kind. This all happened after severe mold exposure and development of chronic ME + chemical hypersensitivity.

From my point of view I posit to argue that scientists are clueless of the real causes of depression. From my point of view, and repeated own experience and experience of others who suffer from MCS, it is crystal clear that toxicity is a major trigger for depression.

If you are depressed, and don't know why: consider your environment. Are you being exposed to mold or strong chemicals, building materials, furniture VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds)? You should also consider your diet as being one potential source of toxicity.

Modern healthcare and psychiatry has almost completely disregarded environmental toxicity as potential for disease. I think there is an enormous gap in knowledge here, that is yet to be filled.

I'm skeptical that such people actually exist, or at least exist in significant numbers in places where there's actually snow. You don't need snow tires to drive safely on a snowy road. You just need decent all season tires and the knowledge of when to slow down.

> Why should one's disability (allergy) exclude the other passenger from a space?

Per my other comment [1], there is a muddling of terms going about. Service Animals [2] are "individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability." They are well-behaved and medically mandated. They are also legally protected by the ADA.

Emotional-support animals may have been medically prescribed but, critically, are not necessarily trained [3]. Heinously, some people claim their pets are emotional-support animals despite lacking the medical prescription. (They do this to skip the fee airlines charge for transporting an untrained pet.)

Nobody is assailing Service Animals. Some are upset about emotional-support animals. Most are upset about non-medically prescribed animals' owners misrepresenting them as emotional-support or Service animals.

This is exactly what I had hoped, too, but it hasn't materialized yet, and I'm losing hope it will. Instead of inventing some ultra-smart general purpose supermachine people stucked to producing very specialized hardware able to do just one thing.

There is some glimpse of hope: now that it's less and less profitable to use electricity, the miners might have more incentive to use different forms of renewable energy rather than anything else. This can have various unpredictable consequences though...

I think part of the challenge is defining the words we're using.

"Retouching" is not what Ansel Adams called his darkroom work. In my experience, retouching usually refers to removing or reshaping elements of a photograph (usually a portrait) to make the subject look more appealing. In a portrait this might be removing blemishes, smoothing out visible skin pores, removing blood vessels from the sclera of the eye, shifting outlines to make a person look thinner, etc. In a landscape it might mean removing telephone lines from a corner, flipping a mountain, adding or changing a moon, etc.

I think these things are generally not OK, and definitely not OK to hide (pretending the photo was "out of the camera"). Granted, there are certain areas where it is so common (like fashion magazine covers) that complaining about it is like shouting at the tides. But there are other areas, like natural landscapes, where the fight is worth it IMO.

Ansel Adams referred to his work as printing... the aesthetic choices were just part of the printing process. Occasionally they did stray into the realm of retouching; in one photo he burned a hillside unnaturally dark to hide graffiti from a local school. But in most cases he was adjusting tonality, not hiding or removing elements of the photos themselves.

And it's important to recognize in Adams the challenge of capturing the negative in the first place. Perhaps his most famous print is "Moonrise, Hernandez, NM", and in Examples he talks about using his knowledge of luminance values to realize that he could retain detail in both the foreground and the moon in a single negative.

Yes he liked to burn the sky when he printed that image, but it's certainly arguable that that was an interpretation of what he captured in a single negative. I think we would feel differently about that photograph if it came out later that he pasted the moon from a different negative into a boring shot of a cemetery.

Finally, I agree with you that the film context matters. Personally, I am less tolerant of post-processing adjustments to color positive landscapes than I am to black and white landscapes, because of the practice and traditions of so many color-positive landscape masters to "finish the shot in the camera."

Photoshopping the saturation of an average sunset into "WOW alpenglow" values is gross to me; there was a time when the only way to get those sunset colors was actually to be in the high alpine terrain at the right time. Those early photographers created the value of such an image by showing phenomena and places that most people had never seen. Late Photoshoppers are just riding that perception of value.
If nothing else, this article provided a link to the California vehicle code that covers autonomous vehicles. That is an interesting read.

Back to the article, they point out impatient overrides by the test driver are apparently not being counted as disengagements and do not appear on the reports to the DMV. The author tries to make this into a safety concern, but it just isn't. Maybe it is against the intent of the code as written, but maybe not, since it seems to be concerned with true safety violations.

Why Ruby on Rails Applications Should Consider Adding Go to Their Stack
Congratulations on the future house. We shall see about the market, but today's crash is POSSIBLY where can you can make money.
It's definitely something that deaths and similar events make you think about, but ultimately, I also find myself asking if it would be used at all. And if it was, would it be beneficial?

I have thousands of family slide photos from my grandparents. This is unusual, but they were big photography fans. Nobody looked at them for at least a decade. But about 10 years ago I had access to a nice scanner, so I digitized a few hundred of them, so that we could look at them more easily. Now I have thousands of slide photos nobody has looked at in two decades, hundreds of digitized versions nobody has looked at in one decade, and a handful of ones we printed or such that get looked at more regularly. I think quantity is overrated, and it just becomes write-only-memory. I still take hundreds of photos for myself every year, but I doubt my kids will ever look at them for more than a few hours, max.

And I think there's something to be said for the impermanence of memory for helping people move on with their lives. I thought I was going to die a few years ago - I didn't, which is great, obviously, but if I had, I wouldn't have wanted those who loved me to still be dwelling on me today.

Snapchat is basically the app recognition of this idea that not everything is worth saving, that for 99.99% of stuff the value today far, far outweighs any value in the future. Shame it's such a hard concept to monetize, I guess.

(I say this, but I'm not immune to the temptation, either. If you ask the people in my life, they'd definitely tell you they wish I'd follow my own advice around "remember, you're taking pictures for yourself, not for other people, and don't prioritize your pictures of others over other people themselves." :| )

I suggest using “verbatim” on google when google redirects you. Inequity and inequality are two different, precisely defined words.

More than that, equity does speak to exactly what you’re talking about—the egaltarian ideal defined by leveling the outcome, not the opportunity.
This is an excellent point. Some time in the past, society drew a line in the sand and said "everything a man does is better than anything a woman does". As a result, women are being pressured into fields that are male dominated _because_ they are are male dominated. Without pausing to think if that truly makes those jobs inherently better.

I think realizing this is a false paradigm will be the next phase in the evolution of this social issue, I just have no idea how it will happen or how it will play out.
Laser light is "coherent" both spatially and temporally. Spatial coherence allows the beam to be "collimated", which basically just means that it looks like a cylinder and not a cone. That's why you can shine a laser at the moon and see the spot; most of the energy from the laser makes it to the same place, bounces back to your eyes, and you get a bright spot. Shining a flashlight doesn't work because the light spreads out too much. Technically some of the light still gets to the moon and back to your eyes, it's just below the threshold of your eye's ability to distinguish differences in brightness.

For the glasses, the laser is probably being scanned using a mems mirror (like how a DLP tv works, sorta), and modulated in brightness periodically to create the pixels. Since there's only one "point" of contact between your lens and the beam, the lens doesn't distort the beam like it would an image. That's where the idea of focus comes in. If you were looking at a photograph with your eye, there would be many sources and colors of light. Since the lens refracts incoming light based on direction, position, and color, your lens' job is to make sure the "pixels" of the photograph stay spatially organized with respect to each other. That's what being in focus means. And since the laser has only one color and one direction, all that light stays together and makes a nice dot on your retina. The only thing left to do is make a correction to the overall distortion pattern your lens introduces ,which is similar for pretty much everyone. Same reason you need to add barrel distortion before sending video to an HMD. I think that's what they were showing with that "warping" red image of the glasses' display.
You're almost certainly right. And a lot of those hosts do not reliably do a good job of staying current on patching.
Depends what the cost of electricity is, how efficient machines are and network hashrate (directly influences difficulty).

By my calculations prices could go down to 3kCAD and it would be breakeven for me in Quebec. That is not factoring difficulty drop as many might stop mining altogether.
Nearly my entire net worth is in BRK.B, and I wouldn't buy at these prices. If you track it's average Price to Book value it's close to the highest ratio it's ever had. I believe it broke over 1.7 last week. When it hit it's all time high P/B ratio of 2.0 in the first internet bubble, buyers returns were very poor for the next decade.

I'm hoping for a much bigger sell-off so I can pick up some more below $150.

Ahh, love the old pivot. At my company we had a horribly designed schema for our MVP and our postgres DB was getting hammered running our daily analytics. We had like 6 replicas going at one point and each of them getting maxed out... Then we hired an older gentlemen with plenty of DB experience and as soon as he got onboard he wouldnt stop talking about 'pivoting' our data. Nobody really listened to him for a month or two but after we did a few prototypes it was like holy shit this is revolutionary! Fully implemented the redesign of our DB with a pivoted schema and that sh has been powering our service for 3 years without a blip.

No offence, but I don't think that who you are responding to means parents like you.

You seem like a decent person trying to minimize the disruption your toddler is causing the other travellers, but in my experience you are definitely in the minority. I can honestly say that I've never met anyone that did what you say you'd do.

The far more common example is parents that pay no attention to their kids, regardless of their little angels kicking the seat in front of them, running and tackling the crew, throwing food or liquids around or just screaming at the top of their lungs. The only moment the parents seem to react is when other travellers ask them to control the beasts, at which point they'll start screaming about strangers telling them how to educate their kids.

Again, you might not be like that (you are probably nothing like that) and we all accept that, even if your toddler is causing discomfort in others, you have no other option. Maybe accept that some of that people travelling with pets might not have any other option either.
Just wait.
When the Russian Revolution took place, many of the areas you discuss were part of the Russian empire. So "Russian occupation", if that is what it was, did not start with the Bolsheviks.

Hungary is a different story, but then of course, the Hungarians established themselves as a communist republic in 1919 with no Russians in sight. This was actually put down by foreign intervention - Romanian invasion and guns, with strong support from England in the background. So you could say the Red Army was just restoring what had been taken away by foreign invasion in 1919.

People are angry at your tone, but you’re correct. The evidence shows that disproportionate gender representation in STEM is the product of social conditioning, not anything innate:

https://www.nature.com/articles/442133a
For your argument to have full merit, you'd have to run an experiment in a truly unbiased, gender equal culture. One does not exist. Therefore, your argument rests largely on a hypothesis that, "see, this is the way things are and that says something about the innate nature of gender."

But for the opposite position to make sense, the more egalitarian a society becomes, the fewer gender differences would show. Studies show that the opposite is the case.

Also, if the cost of Bitcoin falls to $0, I will want to collect all of the coins for free. But then someone else will probably offer $0.01 for them, so then I'd need to offer $0.02. But then maybe someone else will offer $0.03. And so on and so on. The price would only drop to zero if everyone decides there's no useful utility behind Bitcoin that makes them desirable to hodl or use. I just don't see that happening.
Well they rise and fall together, so I don't see a difference at this point.

Totally agreed. The run over the last 5 years is massive. A modest drop is hardly going to clean out most "investors".

Most people won't benefit from the crash because they have no savings to buy the dip.

Also (forgot before I can’t edit) spotify has no way of syncing your music not in their catalogue to your other devices. So my many bootlegs, mixtapes, and music not in the spotify catalogue is a real PITA to manage across devices, and is not even possible in some cases (eg I can’t think of a way to listen to my mixtapes on the xbox spotify player).

Meanwhile apple has the “itunes match” program (...I think?) which solves this.

From working in that field, I can tell you this is not true. There are lots of women in biology but in computational biology its more like one in three (and often much less). In the algorithmic and tool developmental parts even more so. It may be more equal than in pure CS but still the imbalance is huge.
