To put the "single large power plant" whose output exceeds Bitcoin usage in context, it's one so big that 1.3 million people were displaced to build it...

If one wanted to help lower income populations, it could be difficult to conceive a solution less likely to help them than bidding up energy prices to safeguard the proceeds of wealthy hackers' speculation. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Bitcoin neither provides nor ever will provide as much utility to the world as, say, Ireland.

> If someone else is getting the job you want instead of you, they worked harder for it than you did.

No, that's not a valid generalization. They may have worked less hard and been more talented. They may have worked less hard, been less talented, but had the good fortune to have better social connections. They may have worked less hard, been less talented, but benefit from non-germane status-based discrimination. Or, well, lots of other possibilities.
it's very true, but one might add "if you're acting for the general good", not if you're only trying to have fun or disrupt social fabric
Great comment. I'm a final year PhD student right now who is planning on doing something similar. If you wouldn't mind, could you email me at the address in my profile here? I'm interested in learning more about your approach.

In addition to consulting I'm also considering the following:

- being an expert witness (a type of consulting)

- translating papers and books (worked for Julian Barbour during the cold war, but I'm not qualified and don't suspect there is great demand)

- being a lecturer or adjunct at a university (In my field it's about 10K USD per class best I can tell. My goal with this would be to help smooth out your income if consulting is too volatile. Also gives you access to university resources.)

- writing technical books (unlikely to be enough on its own, but I'm looking more into people who have done this)

- teaching workshops/short courses (Works for Edward Tufte. If books can be pirated easily then it might be best to give away the PDFs for free, sell hard copies, and make most of the money with workshops.)

- science journalism (probably a dead end)

- open source (D. Richard Hipp seems to have an interesting approach)

- donations/crowdfunding (probably not sufficient but worth looking more closely at)

- small grants (my advisor recommended this)

I don't understand this part: "In total, Antarctica has shed some 2.7 trillion tonnes of ice since 1992, corresponding to an increase in global sea level of more than 7.5mm."

If the melting ice of Antarctica contributes only 0.3mm per year to the annual 6mm rise of sea levels, what exactly is causing a 20x larger change?

[added]
On the other hand a NASA study published in 2015 [1] indicated that Antarctica has been steadily accumulating ice, thereby "taking 0.23 millimeters per year away... If the 0.27 millimeters per year of sea level rise attributed to Antarctica in the IPCC report is not really coming from Antarctica, there must be some other contribution to sea level rise that is not accounted for."

edn is an extensible data notation. A superset of edn is used by Clojure to represent programs, and it is used by Datomic and other applications as a data transfer format. This spec describes edn in isolation from those and other specific use cases, to help facilitate implementation of readers and writers in other languages, and for other uses.

Last time I checked you could create a directory with a name "like:this" from Linux or something, and Windows would display it but not allow you to access it in any way.

Except utilizing loopback i simply define my models, what fields are exposed by models, and their relationships. I can easily implement RBAC restrictions via a simple access hook or ACL's.

To me having to maintain two separate graphql services for a single API seems extremely convoluted. I can't expose the private api to any other internal services, because all the authorization and restrictions are done on the application layer.

To me isn't that just using a GraphQL server as an ORM? To me that seems like an extremely roundabout way to do something like that.
I suppose that the idea of Native is a homogenisation of many separate cultures and identities. Perhaps some of the peoples feel that their traditions are to be shared, and others do not?
Remember, in general the police aren't tech savvy, and not very bright in many cases. They don't know that a tired trope like this merely identifies themselves as idiots.
Actually, becoming good at solving a certain kind of problem is what it means to "get wiser".

However, whether "wisdom" an "intelligence" should be considered to be the same, is debatable. There is the view that intelligence should be an attribute that doesn't change during one's lifetime, but actually wisdom is the one that's useful in our lives.

One thing I worry in this kind of situation is that you think you know your right, but you are wrong, either because the laws changed since the last time you've studied them, because there is some precedent, or simply because there are lots of fine details.

One lawyer made an interesting point: you need to clarify if the law enforcer "wants" as opposed to "demands/orders", and that you should always comply with orders.
There's a ban against law enforcement planting evidence on innocent detainees. That ban hasn't really stopped police departments across the nation from doing that very thing.

Option1: json.inlineSig: '{ "a": 1, "b": 2, "signature": "ff1341234..." }'

Option2: json.outOfBandSig: '?????'

Option2: json.signature: 'File=json.outOfBandSig; Signature=ff12341234...'

Basically if you try and do option #1 you actually need to parse the content, and THEN find out it's untrusted (which means you need to _execute_ your parser on the potentially unknown / hostile bytes), and then pretend you never processed them in the first place (discard) unknown / hostile bytes.

If you do option #2 then you blindly process the bytes with the signature algorithm, verify they are trusted and THEN run your parser on bytes of a signed / known origin.

Compare:

signedParseInlineSig( '{ "a": 1, "signature": "<<INVALID>>" }' );

signedParseOutOfBandSig( '{ "a": 1 }', "<<INVALID>>" );

...with #1 you have to run isValid( input, JSON.parse(input).signature )

...with #2 you run isValid( input, signature ) && JSON.parse( input )

Do we have PoC code? Has anyone tried attacking FP/SIMD state on other ISAs like Power or AArch64?
Either "LazyFP" or "Lazy FPU".
Because your source data will be like 10 tables. But your frontend needs to access this data in different ways (views). There no way to design your database to support all possible queries in an efficient way. With complex queries even caching become tricky.

user(id = 6) -> with ('comments') -> with ('votes')

ORM - create a complex query that hit three tables. There is no way to represent this as proper REST service (/userNameWithCommentsVotes - resource). You end up with REST resources that accept a lot query params. Each endpoint will create coupling to both data storage and consumer (front-end).

User (id = 6) {
name
comments {
votes: {
up
down
}
}
}

GraphQL shift data access towards the client. It will make multiple DB queries but it will be trivially cached using Dataloader pattern. You hit DB more with simple queries but you don't muddle you data schema with ad-hock views/queries.

People start with pretty REST and normalized Database, then frontend and third-party requirements demolish this to another "Paypal API". I am not saying that GraphQL is a silver bullet, you need to structure your frontend application Graph as well and complex conditional queries are difficult to express.
Ah. I misinterpreted this as bugs in applications scanning their own bundle. But it is about security tools not properly verifying other binaries. Got it.
From last year's merger notes:

"As part of the Disney-Fox merger, 21st Century Fox will spin off Fox News, Fox Business, and the Fox broadcasting network into a new, separately traded company...

The new company under which Fox News will operate has yet to be named, but it will be a lot leaner, which may ultimately work in the network’s favor. Right now, it’s just being referred to as New Fox. (The company will also include FS1, FS2, and Fox Television Stations Group, Big Ten Network.)"

I'm guessing Fox News is worth the other $15 billion to the Murdochs.

I actually totally agree with this. I learned how to program in R and found it to be quite wonderful to use as a noob. As you say, shit just works. If you think you should be able to do an operation, you typically can. To this day I still prefer cleaning and doing proof of concept analyses in R rather than Python. It's so much easier than having to fuck with pandas and numpy.
Sure, I'll send you an email this weekend. I have a list of ideas from a few months back, actually.

Yeah, this is exactly why I didn't consider Pony.
So basically you are running two graphql services, and using the private one as an ORM?

Doesn't that drastically increase complexity in the fact that you now need to maintain multiple services? Why not just skip postgraphile and just use an ORM in your business layer? As opposed to being required to maintain multiple services.

It also feels very odd that since you can't even expose your private one to other internal services because all your authorization and access restrictions are now sitting in your business layer, which to me seems like a huge waste.
That is per account not per person. For a typical household, all other bandwidth usage pales in comparison to Netflix. Youtube, etc., streaming at HD or lower resolutions isn't going to move the needle much compared to the 4K streaming in the calculation above.
I think the idea is that you wouldn't need this kind of refrigerator with a drone. Instead the drone would be dispatched the moment the next batch of children need to be vaccinated.

This is ideal because you don't need a heavy, expensive refrigeration unit to keep vaccines cool for days of travel, thus decreasing the cost and expense of vaccination.

Obviously this won't work everywhere; extreme weather, like storms or even high winds, may make drone delivery impossible for much of the year. But it appears that the more we can deliver vaccines by drone, the better.
As I understand it:

1. The whole cooler is heated, the pressure throughout rises, and the liquid water surrounding the inner chamber evaporates.

2. The water vapor moves into the (presumably much larger) other chambers, distributing itself equally.

3. The inner chamber is sealed while the others are opened to atmosphere. The device returns to normal pressure and that cooling drops the inner chamber pressure well below atmospheric.

4. Liquid water which has now re-condensed in the other chambers is allowed into the inner chamber in a controlled manner, evaporating due to the pressure and cooling the chamber.

To be clear, the inner chamber in my understanding would be a thin shell around the actual payload compartment. The vaccines or what have you obviously don't get wet and don't get exposed to low pressure.
> If I remember correctly, the senators were originally not elected, but chosen by the state to represent the states' interests, while only the representatives were elected to represent the people's interests.

The interests of a state based on popular sovereignty are, by definition, exactly the aggregate of the interests of its people. Appointment by state legislatures rather than direct election by state citizens was done because of many of the founders distrust for democracy and desire to build layers of insulation between the immediate popular will and policy decisions, but that's orthogonal to the reason for equal apportionment rather than population-wide apportionment, which was (like many features of the original Constitution that produce unequal representation of voting citizens) largely motivated by the desire to protect the institution of slavery by increasing the relative voting power—both in the Senate and in the Electoral College which was then tied to combined Congressional representation—of the slave state.
I think there are actually a few reasons for this that are addressable.

GraphQL clients cover a ton of the functionality—so much so that you're more concerned about the basic concerns you're already familiar with: doing stuff with your data.

The server has the inverse problem. A GraphQL server library covers the low-level part of breaking down the query into actionable slices, but how you resolve those is more of an open-ended problem. And because there's such a variety of ways you could be fetching that data, it's hard for the server library to steer the implementer in any one direction. Every server is going to be vastly different, while every client is going to use very similar patterns.
I declare support for a cause dramatically against my own interest but mention that it "still hurts" to do so (on account, you know, of it being against my interest) and you call my feeling an atrocity? It's not enough to merely do the right thing, I must also revel in the pain it causes me?

That's sick, it's an atrocious way to think of your fellow man, and it's the very attitude that put Donald Trump in office.

I'm willing to bet that Apple can handle a single secure key in low-bandwidth interactions with law enforcement. This is not rocket science; it's not shared, it's not exposed to the web, it's not interacting with complex components. It's just a key.
It's not about intellectual property, it's an "it's the thought that counts" type of thing that is hard to explain to outsiders. In several cultures, singing someone a song is a very personal act of gift giving in which the singer creates beautiful sound just for the listener(s) - it is as much an expression of the relationship between them as it is about music or poetry. That latter bit is often lost in developed countries that have established musical industries instead of a vast array of amateur bards.

Just like it is considered inappropriate to give away something that was a gift to you in many cultures, in some it is considered bad form to appropriate someone's expression of emotion unless you were invited to by the singer.
I used OCaml in a programming languages class and didn't hate the syntax, but I found the tooling relatively clunky compared to modern toolchains (for example, cargo).
I'd like to add, it's okay to consider them "a friend" as long as you keep the context in mind. They're there to help you, so you can rely on them and trust them. You literally can't disappoint them though, that's their job. Although they aren't the kind of "friend" you'd hangout with, etc.
That incident was in the middle of the Obama's 8-year term. I tend to think local-level management has more to do with it than the president. Of course, the current one doesn't help either.

The amount of mismanagement in that school was fascinating to witness. I couldn't be happier seeing the dissatisfaction level in that school was so damn high that the president of that university was protested out of his position by African American students not long after. Not because of me, of course, but when he made the CNN front page, I thought, holy shit for once history happened.

International students are the minority that gets fucked the most when bad people are in charge. We have no rights, we aren't even considered immigrants, we get fucked if we speak up, we get fucked if we don't. Even now, you see, I still have to speak about my experience under a nickname.
My primary advice would be that therapists/counsellors are NOT all the same. You need to find one who works for you, and it is a very individual thing. Actively plan to try 4 of them, and do 2 paid sessions with each before deciding to continue with one.

Also be aware that IMO some counsellors/therapists are actually bad at their job.... if you get the feeling that something really does not make sense to you, then stop going to them and find someone else.

I've tried many and found a few really good ones and definitely some really bad ones.

It's also true that some were good for a long while but then at some point things changed and they no longer were effective for me, so things can change over time.
