The article itself is... not worth commenting on, but I’ll just comment on the irony of referring to Bitcoin as a “meteor” when far from enjoying a meteoric rise, it has crashed and burned. Beyond that, it looks like they don’t actually refute any arguments, just float the lazy idea that the economists in question are protecting their jobs because crypto would... ruin them? Because reasons?

It seems like the equivalent of someone preaching homeopathy and saying that doctors who don’t like it are just protecting their jobs because if homeopathy takes off, they’re ruined. Only it’s somehow even more poorly presented in this article. You know the routine, pharmaceutical companies are hiding the miracle cure for cancer to make money on treatments, but... with crypto.

How did it come to this?!
> [The Euler Product Formula] states that the sum of the zeta function is equal to the product of the reciprocal of one minus the reciprocal of primes to the power s. This astonishing connection laid the foundation for modern prime number theory...

Here is the Euler formula for middle school.

We start with an infinite product of power series for all primes:

(1 + 2 + 2^2 + ... + 2^k + ...) *

(1 + 3 + 3^2 + ... + 3^k + ...) *
...

(1 + p + p^2 + ... + p^k + ...) *
...

Let's open the parentheses in an orderly manner without running into infinity too prematurely
(i.e. taking only a finite number of non-unit terms in each product):

1 + 2 + 3 + 2^2 + 5 + 2 * 3 + 7 + 2^3 + 3^2 + 2 * 5 + 11 + 2^2 * 3 + ...

Now, if we apply any completely multiplicative function f(ab) = f(a)f(b) to the terms we get

(1 + f(2) + f(2^2) + ... + f(2^k) + ...) *

(1 + f(3) + f(3^2) + ... + f(3^k) + ...) *
...

(1 + f(p) + f(p^2) + ... + f(p^k) + ...) *
... =

1 + f(2) + f(3) + f(4) + f(5) + f(6) + ...

When f(n) = n^(-s) we get the zeta function on the right and an infinite product of converging sums (s > 1) on the left.

The converging sums S = 1 + p^(-s) + p^(-2s) + ... are of course 1/(1 - p^(-s)) as S = 1 + S * p^(-s).

Voilà,

1 + 2^(-s) + 3^(-s) + ... = 1/(1 - 2^(-s)) * 1/(1 - 3^(-s)) * ... * 1/(1 - p^(-s)) ...

In case you think the Möbius formula is totally beyond the middle school curriculum ("primitive roots" and stuff):

SUM m(n) * n^(-s) = (1 - 2^(-s))(1 - 3^(-s))(1 - 5^(-s))...(1 - p^(-s))...

(just open the parentheses on the right, that's what middle-schoolers do).

And what happens if we multiply our power series S by 1 - p^(-s)? They cancel each other, so the whole product is 1.

The "astonishing connection" of the Euler formula turns out to be the fundamental theorem of arithmetic in disguise.

>Alex Inoue, Shiru Cafe's general manager, wrote in an email that the cafe does not give out data on specific students. But it does provide general, aggregate data such as student majors and expected graduation years.

I don't see how aggregated data would be valuable enough to fund the cafe. You could probably find that aggregated data via the university's own statistics. The article also says they collect phone numbers and email addresses, but this quote says they don't give them out, which seems a bit strange to me. And JP Morgan hired 40% of its hires from the cafe, but it wasn't given their phone numbers or emails? I guess it's possible but it also seems strange.

If you think of the cafe like a job recruitment site, such as Linkedin, Indeed, or Triplebyte, then it would be expected that the site would provide some way for employers to contact candidates. Handing out email and phone number might be considered acceptable, or alternatively providing an intermediary messaging service might be better.

Not long ago I was curious to see what it would cost to run fiber instead of copper in my home network, and it turns out that the fiber itself is cheaper (per meter) than copper, but the transceivers at each end and the equipment required to work with the fiber were much more expensive; which explains why much of the long-distance Internet links use it, but nearly no one uses it for their home network... yet?

There's also an interesting failure mode for fibers, known as "fiber fuse", which can happen when the power level is very high and an imperfection in the fiber causes the light to literally start burning it like a fuse:

One could also argue the current model is more like "I found a solution to routine auto maintenance costs! Our super premium insurance includes oil changes, tire replacement, and other routine service."

Part of the problem with health insurance is that it's not just "insurance" in the true sense of the word - it's involved in minor and routine care as well. I don't have to involve my auto insurance company when I run over a nail and get a flat tire - why do I need to involve my health insurance when my kid has an ear infection?

I understand why we got here - preventative care reduces costs, and people would avoid it if not included in the main package. But there isn't a doubt in my mind it hasn't distorted the market.

Get a price quote for a windshield replacement paid directly and through an insurance claim. It's a LOT more expensive, overall, when insurance is involved. Health insurance is not fundamentally different in that way.

There is a difference though. A system implemented by Equifax would presumably look at your social media habits or phone usage and say, "Sorry, we're denying you a loan because our data indicates that you may default."

The Chinese social credit system looks at your social media and phone usage and says, "Sorry, we're denying you a loan because you were critical of the government."

It is fair to criticize the prospective Equifax system and the concerns around pervasive data collection are valid. But the Chinese system is in a whole different, far more evil league.

> While English-language media describe China’s social credit system as a Black Mirror-like authoritarian implementation, Chinese social media users seem to focus more on the advantages than the burdens.

This is a remarkably tone-deaf observation given that talking about the burdens will get them imposed on you.

You make the common mistake of disregarding time during this discussion. This is interesting and part of the reason why I think we as humans are still developing our concepts of time.

We still talk about people in absolutes, as if the labels we assign someone today are still relevant tomorrow.

Perhaps previous you should have been judged for your poor decisions. I don’t know.

Later you does not deserve to be beholden to those judgements though. People change.

Labeling someone something for life is a poor heuristic, probably more relevant when we died around 20, not now we live 4 of those short lives in one of our long lives.

The news of the SEC investigation seems to be the cause behind the stock's recent drop from $307/share to $270/share, though; if I'm doing the math right, that 12% translates to ~$6.3B worth of value. Kylie Jenner's tweet "only" erased $1.3B of stock value. So, I think Elon has her beat.

That still doesn't seem to be enough to be the most expensive tweet, though. That honor seems to be this tweet[1], where a finance firm "Selerity" tweeted Twitter's missed earnings report prior to Twitter really announcing it, costing Twitter ~25% or $8B. (The earnings report was uploaded early to the investor relation's page on Nasdaq, apparently, and it showed that Twitter missed its earnings.)

Yeah, sorta. It's depressingly rare to find desktop motherboards with SFP ports, much less laptops. You end up converting back to copper anyway.

I have a fiber link in my home network, because I was sick of losing wifi routers every time a storm came through. I suspect the cable modem to be allowing badness to sneak in even past the grounding block (which doesn't ground the center pin, of course), so in addition to a UPS with a coax protector, I now also have the whole "outside" of the network isolated (the cable modem and a fiber media converter, on that one UPS, on its own circuit) by a few feet of glass, from the "inside" of the network (another media converter, wifi router, distribution switch, NAS, etc, on another UPS on a different circuit). There's now no electrical path between the cable HFC network and my inner sanctum, and I haven't blown up any more hardware yet!

My solution to this for a video streaming service is to have a master network that you control that feeds the data needed to cover the next 30 seconds of video playback, with future segments coming in via torrents. If any segment is still downloading once it hits the 30 second threshold the connection is dropped and that segment is downloaded from your more than capable network.

Connections that are known to be slow can seed just the ends of files with faster customers seeding the entire file.

I imagine the maths on this has been done and the cost of bandwidth is much lower than the cost of engineering the solution though.

Changing from 61 to 62 works well enough.

The absolute error might be a few degrees, which will get you close enough to not be completely miserable. The relative error is about a degree. Going from 61 to 62 might actually be going from 63 to 64 (still a step of 1 degree), but it won't be going from 60 to 63.

I would guess a reason why Kaiser doesn't have a 95% price reduction is that offering a huge range of options for medical care means the overall cost goes up a bit to counter the more expensive needs of a minority of their members. Unlike most of the direct care models that only take care of part of the comprehensive medical needs of their members.

I still think the Kaiser cost reduction is surprising though. The upfront cost of premiums isn't much higher, but the benefits are bonkers. My monthly premium may be slightly higher than other plans cost, but then I have a $0 multi-day stay after a c-section... and nobody is nickel and dime-ing me, or pushing me out sooner than I'm ready, and I even got a 2 person "fancy" dinner to celebrate the birth - we had a 3 course meal (steak and salmon!) with sparkling cider and flutes to boot.
