Not to mention that the central consensus mechanism is completely broken.

You cannot have a trustless consensus without a mining incentive:

Quoted from my post linked below:

o) Network hashrate is the overall power of the network - in bitcoin, this is the computing power needed to generate a block.

o) Bitcoin employs a mining reward which creates a competition between miners to produce a block and claim their reward for doing so. Slower miners lose out to faster miners, but they still participate in the competition to produce a block because they stand a chance of winning occasionally.

o) This mining subsidy provides a positive incentive to miners to play by the rules, and encourages them not try to double spending, because they might as well claim the mining reward instead of trying to double spend which is often much more difficult than producing a single block.

o) The mining subsidy also encourages all miners to participate in the mining process, which gives an overall metric for total network hashing power, which you can then use to give an estimate of when it is safe to accept a transaction of a given size, as confirmed, because (on average), the block reward is equal to the electricity cost of mining that block. That means that when your transaction has been buried under enough blocks that the mining subsidy equals the transactions size, it is more or less safe to accept that transaction as confirmed.

Now, imagine the situation with no mining reward.

o) Instead of participating in a competition to win the block reward, miners have no positive incentive to participate anymore. They now are left with the negative incentive to try and double spend.

o) Since these miners are not contributing their hashing power to the network anymore, the overall hashrate of the network in unmeasurable, since these miners are quite likely to leave their ASICs in sleep mode until they want to double spend

o) With the network hash rate unmeasurable, there is no way to put an estimate on when it is safe to accept a transaction as confirmed.

When there is no way to estimate when it is safe to accept a transaction as confirmed, that currency is now useless because any transaction can potentially be reversed.

This is why both byteball and iota use trusted third parties to secure the network, but at that point, you might as well be using VISA.

The most efficient mitigation is saying no to any additional obligation, and most probably also to some current obligations you already had accepted.

Thinking about the issue in terms of time-efficiency will likely not help. It takes as long as it takes until you are back in balance, and accepting that is part of the remedy.

I don't know if this is common in USA to finish higher education in computer science and not learn about graphs at some point? Even the basics?

In Europe most universities that teach computer science have at least one course fully dedicated to graph theory, algorithms for traversal, shortest path finding, cycle detection and so on. I didn't even know it was possible to work professionally as a software developer and not already know all of this.
Just treat it as an infinite loop , there's no need to JIT in an optimized version that late.

Fines allow businesses to judge the merits (and timeline) of shifting according to their needs. Bans force everyone to shift simultaneously. Ceteris paribus, bans promote incumbents while taxes facilitate new entrants. (TL; DR Britain versus Italy's economy.)
Glad that worked for you. Having seen many psychotropics poorly chosen/prescribed, your experience is certainly not uncommon, though far from universal.

Best thing would be understanding that different solutions are right for different people, and we get in trouble by generalizing (whether it's about meds, therapy, nutrition, exercise, etc.). One illness, many root causes, many different presentations, and the appropriate solution depends on a multitude of variables.

Sure, but a lot of times you have an open ended question or problem. Or need to ask about something undocumented.

Here are some questions I couldn't get bots to answer for me recently:

"This printed form you provided me for a regulated action requires an account number, but no account number is displayed anywhere on your website or statements or any communications I've had from you. Where do I find that information?"

"Your site took money out of my account, said it couldn't complete the transaction, and now refuses to return the money to my account. How can I fix this and either get my money back or get what I paid for?"

And sometimes it takes a human to answer "is it still the case that the answer is 'no' if these other unusual circumstances apply?"
i agree with your points, but 50% is already good i think.

it is less than anyone might spontaneously guess, but it is still good, considering that you will try a couple of other things in addition, like cognitive therapy.

So getting some good months long treatment by a doctor can lead to (lets say) 70% curation rate. It then becomes sad if people choose to stay away from doctors and I just commented to not discourage possible ill persons.

You probably just wanted to stress that such pills are far away from doing guaranteed miracles and you are right.
Yes, an excellent point. Unfortunately, we do not have such specific benchmarks at the moment (only general benchmarks on the performance of GC), but I guess we should add them.

However, please note, that our conservative GC was also copying (but not full copying) collector, and it also improved locality of references. So an impact on the performance is not so huge as in the case of GC that doesn't provide any compaction at all.
It means a lot of extra space. You are duplicating installations of Chrome and Node for each Electron app that is installed, instead of having one install and each app using the common dependency.

So yes, the developer gets complete control over which version of Chrome and Node is used, but you end up with a 150 MB text editor, a 150 MB chat app, and a 150 MB music streaming app, when you could probably get all three done with 152 MB using common dependencies.
> Soda Tax in New York that made people go to New Jersey:

Hang on, you're telling us you think people in New York City hopped on a ferry, train, or taxi to New Jersey to buy a cup with few more ounces of soda? Instead of just buying a second soda?

Such a claim makes it pretty hard to give any credit to your other assertions.
I agree with all of this, and I can’t help but ask: when did we start ignoring people’s environment and their circumstances? I have tens of thousands of dollars of student loan debt (my monthly payment is basically a mortgage payment) and I’m not particularly satisfied at work. Is it any wonder I find it impossible to get out of bed? Now, I try to be careful because, sure, perhaps the depression was already there and is just making my life complicated, but that seems less likely. I KNOW I’m not happy at work; I KNOW my debt burden makes me feel trapped and helpless. Look at Harlow’s monkeys. Turns out putting creatures in helpless, depressing environments makes them feel helpless and depressed. If seeing your friend get blown up by a roadside bomb can give you PTSD, couldn’t falling wages, no social safety net, stressful news media, crushing debt, and poor job mobility make you depressed?
To be fair, Discord only uses 150 - 250mb on my windows machine during regular usage like text chat, gif meme sharing and even youtube video streaming.

>...were you just seriously calorie deficient?

I had extra fat on my body, not a lot, but plenty to sustain me for a long time. Our bodies are amazing at survival, you can fast for a very long time, and for a few weeks at first you will actually gain strength (no food at all).

Also, I changed my mindset about being hungry. I decided it was ok to feel hungry. I learned to appreciate it, what it meant, and it made my one meal very satisfying. Also, one time we went to a party (graduation) and I ate like 6 cupcakes, and I still lost weight that day. :P

This taught me that so much common teachings on losing weight aren't helpful, but are in fact discouraging.

How is your weight management going? Are you hungry a lot? Is it hard or easy to maintain the 16/8 schedule? (I've haven't tried it yet)

Also, after doing this for a month, it's permanently altered my concepts of hunger, eating schedules and the such. (that was over 6 months ago that I did this) I simply don't eat now unless I am truly hungry, in fact I find I really don't want to eat, unless I'm hungry, I feel bloated if I do.

Have you found that you need to eat smaller meals as well? I found that the best time to exercise was before a meal. If I did it early in the day, I was a lot more hungry during the day. But if I did it right before dinner, I didn't experience the same discomfort.
With Vitamin Water and Raw Water, can a startup to market "Hangover Cure Water" or "Headache Water" be far behind?
I think the meme of carbon footprint has gotten too deep. We need to address carbon at the power generation, deforestation, and transportation levels. At lower levels or carbon footprint, it's better to worry more about how waste is handled. If we're not reducing, reusing, and recycling, then we're probably adding more junk to the environment that still damages ecosystems.

My answer would be "yes, but perhaps eventually they've bootstrapped themselves where they can escape examples."

Everyone learns better starting from examples. Humans are inductive learners. Makes sense, given our situation.

However, from our starting point some people meta-learn abstract reasoning i.e. mathematics, which doesn't come naturally. Maths is hard because it isn't the way we usually think.

Often those people claim to find purely theoretical approaches better for learning, although I'm personally sceptical from attending a decade of seminars and classes at many institutions; people presenting a purely theoretical introduction to a topic are immediately hit with requests for examples. And usually criticised for not starting with examples. But I do not usually attend lectures in maths departments (rather than related subjects, e.g. CS).

Is this the same coin that has both incredibly rude developers and one that claims to have invented time travel?
Fair enough but I wonder how much of that has to do with simply being asked? Being given a bag was standard, as normal as expecting the store to be heated. An invisible service.

Now, you don't get given a bag for your Sandwich & Water at lunch, and you don't get a free bag with your McDonalds meal to name just a couple of services.

1p or 5p wouldn't make much of a difference? A Family paying 100 pound a week on shopping at a super market, can easily just spend 100.35 on 7 bags and won't bat an eye lid.

If that was 107.00 that would make a real difference and I bet the decrease would be much greater.

You can use `read -s` to avoid risking having someone behind you read your password on your screen as you type it.

Yeah, with me it took a few tries as well. My doctor tried me on a few, before giving up and referring me to a specialist, who basically said that none of the doses I had been given so far were very high, so why don't we just increase the one you are on now. It worked.
Landing Pages: how much text is too much?
Statistically, rating scales typically used in these studies have been validated as showing effect, and clinical interviews can pick up a lot of things. That said, it's normally hard for you to be able to look back eight weeks and subjectively compare how you feel then and now. Usually it's not the person being treated, but those around them (family etc.), who notice the improvements first.

A little thing to bear in mind is that the new bags weigh significantly more than the old ones, so it's not actually a 14x decrease. With the switch all the stores now sell "lifetime" bags.

According to my fairly inaccurate kitchen scales the old ones weigh about 10g, the new ones weigh about 25g. So it's about a 5.6x drop, which is still fantastic.

I think everyone talks about the number of bags as it makes the decrease look bigger.
I'm not sure that would fix the problem since the common dependencies would still be having to store different versions of Chrome.
> ...and other government bodies are happy to help if you can suggest how.

Ah, you mean like the US punishing the company that leaked one out of every two social security numbers of its citizens? Or China, a country worldly-known for the Great Firewall? Or Russia, in which you either hand out data about your customers to the government, or your business fails?

I mean, the EU's actually giving a shit about their citizens' privacy, but they are pretty lonely in that fight. My country (bordering EU) doesn't give a shit, and neither does Serbia, a country that's supposed to join the EU in the next decade (yeah, I know, wishful thinking).

Even if you live in a so-called democracy, chances are that you can make exactly 0 effect. And there are all sorts of other problems which have much higher priority. FFS, I can't run to be a president of my own country. It's in our constitution that you have to declare yourself as a member of one out of three ethnicities just to be eligible to run. The country lost three cases in the European Court of Human Rights because of this and similar fuckups in our constitution, oldest of which will be a decade old next year, and our constitution is still unchanged.

I truly do care about my own privacy and about my citizen's privacy. Yet, if I decided to advocate for certain things inside my own country to make it better, I would have at least three problems much higher in my agenda than online privacy.
I’m confused. By “this whole thing” I mean “the James Damore nonsense” and “political nonsense in general”. It is super hecka easy to just not talk about politics at work. For decades, people went to work and didn’t talk about religion, sex, politics, etc. Work is for work, and as a millennial, I am deeply concerned that my cohort does not understand that.
I strongly recommend "Against The Gods: The Remarkable Story of Risk" (1996) [1] for a fascinating, historical perspective on people's growing understanding of probability and statistics over the last few millennia.

A super-virus that has a 100% mortality rate, is incredibly infectious, and stays dormant for 1 year before killing the host. There's a fiction (I literally just made it up). Is it impossible to say anything about it?

A bomb that is 1,000 times for powerful than a nuclear weapon. Again, currently science fiction. Can't say anything about that either?

The fact that it doesn't exist right now doesn't mean we can't say anything about it, and the fact that it's potentially dangerous means we should be trying, at least, to think about it. Assuming it really is as dangerous as some people claim, do you really want to wait around until it's no longer science fiction, and only then, after it's too late, start thinking about it?
At least they're biodegradable though? Plastic isn't really.
According to rumor, this was an initiative of the king who was unhappy with the immense amount of litter across the countryside. Conventional plastic bags have been replaced by fiber bags that, I guess, are biodegradable eventually, but I do wonder if their creation generates just as much CO2. Plus, every single shopkeeper will give you a new-style bag (or three) for free; no one is being encouraged to reuse bags.
I like your thinking. It would help but not prevent it. Sleep deprivation is also a big factor in hangovers.
Aye, but then, you're potentially in the shit right? emergency medicine is basically assuming the worst.... an unknown patient, suffering potentially large injuries, its best to get that cannula in right now, before its much, much harder. Its totally prudent to get a line in.

What I was talking about was walking in to A&E with a slight cold and a headache, you might get a drip if your totally drunk, but you're going to get a grey needle (the largest one you can get.) and its not going to be comfortable.
Also it's very common that getting the CD from amazon is cheaper than the $9.99 that they charge for albums. This is double crazy when you realize that buying many (most?) CDs on amazon cause the MP3s to be added to your amazon account as well.
The article isn't about IV being ineffective, rehydration IV are absolutely effective.

The article is about them being unnecessary unless absolutely humongous amounts of rehydration are necessary (emergency rehydration), "modern" oral rehydration is amply sufficient, cheaper, simpler, and less risky (ORS requires clean water but IV requires aseptic fluid and procedure and even then there's a risk of infection).

As a manufacture can we do the same? Can I force whoever made the IC that broke to make a new one? It seems like every year we are redesigning out boards because another part went out of production.

We have a lot of embedded systems written in assembly for an 8-bit CPU that is no longer made. The electronics are easy (I'm not an EE) but it will be years before we can replace the software that currently has been running in the field with zero known bugs - I'd love to get those CPUs that work perfectly made again. Instead we bought a warehouse worth, and we hope it is enough to satisfy all our warranty needs.
Hmm, that's going to need some study - particularly that the article says osmolarity allows for water to flow down the gradient, but then the final paragraph says that water can flow contrary to the gradient too.

They have little movement monitors that you can clip to their waistband that monitors the rise and fall off their chest. If it doesn't rise for 15 seconds or something like that, you get an alarm. Hopefully it's enough to startle the baby into breathing again, but otherwise at least the parents are alerted as well. There are methods of encouraging the baby to breathe again, but I haven't learned that yet. (The wife and I are expecting, so we're learning all this stuff right now. 16 hour course next weekend...

We're not ignoring their environment. But unfortunately, most of the time drugs are quicker and easier for the prescribers, and therefore cheaper and more available for the patient, than extended psychotherapy, etc.

If the underlying problem is a psychosocial stressor, the meds won't fix that, though they might help you control the symptoms long enough that they give you the opportunity/resilience to address the stressor. And sometimes, while maybe not ideal, just controlling the symptoms is enough even for the long term.
